Straight or swung?

Now you can choose!

Because everyone needs some more swing in their life right? Or at least some optional swing. This should help mimic the characteristic swung style one might hear these tunes played with, particularly reels and hornpipes.

And to celebrate the first day of March, with Spring just coming into view on the horizon, I thought I’d throw in something for you accompanists too.

After opening a chord arrangement, choose your instrument/tuning from the drop down menu then apply your key and capo position, if you so wish. The chord diagrams for all the chords in the given arrangement and tuning will pop into view before you can utter, DADGAD!

How to access it?

Great question!

In the Chord Arrangements section, you can view the corresponding chord diagrams by simply opening it with the button shown with the ‘eye‘ symbol.

Remember you’ll need to hit the purple Add Backing button under the tune to get to the chord arrangements.
