***** THE CHORD WHEEL; The Ultimate Tool for All Musicians *****

The Chord Wheel is a revolutionary device that puts the most essential and practical applications of chord theory into your hands.

This tool will help you:
UNDERSTAND CHORDS - Know the 'when, why and how' different chords work together.
IMPROVISE & SOLO - Talk about chops! Comprehend key structure like never before.
TRANSPOSE KEYS - Instantly transpose any progression to any key.
COMPOSE MUSIC - Watch your songwriting blossom! No music reading is necessary.

"I have given this information in lectures for years, but it's great to just tell people to go to your website and buy this thing. It's an amazing way to understand tonality and harmony."
- Bonnie Hayes, Songwriter “Have a Heart” and “Love Letter” from Bonnie Raitts’ multi-platinum, multi-Grammy ‘Nick of Time’

"This is the kind of device that players of any instrument can use to enhance their musical understanding. Chord and key relationships are inseparable, and learning these relationships is a must in becoming a successful musician."
- Alan Remington, Orange Coast College Music Dept.

The word of mouth from the first 100,000 customers as well as recommendations for countless teachers worldwide has made The Chord Wheel the most successful device of its kind. Countless testimonials from users (see Amazon.com for numerous examples) assure you that this will help you in your quest to become a better musician. This product is intended for beginners and intermediate students; if you can rattle off the chords of a ii-V7-I progression in the Key of Bb and know whether a C7 sound good in this key without thinking about it, you may not need it. For the rest of us, here is the answer.

Though it's still primarily intended for musicians, the iPhone App version allows users to depress the wheel's cells and hear the chords played back in the instrument and chord voicing selected in the 'Settings' page. The result is an entertaining song composer that allows you to play chord progressions without any musical knowledge whatsoever. For musicians, it allows your ears to hear the relationships between chords and key.

The Chord Wheel Positive Reviews

Nice but a few bum guitar chordsThe wheel is a helpful layout for writing simple major/minor progressions. Piano sounds are bold and in tune, and sustain for two good legato whole notes while you consider the next chord. However, some of the guitar chords are well out of tune, and one or two of the diminished 7ths are downright wrong on guitar. But the majority are OK. I stick with the piano. This would be excellent tool if there was a simple way to toggle any chord to and from its 7th, 6th, sus4, or 2nd/9th — or maybe add the note on the keyboard (which in inactive and purely decorative). But overall the wheel is a nice idea for establishing harmonic context..Version: 1.1.22

Please Enable Rotate to Portrait ModeI bought the book and will find the app useful as well. I’m happy that the issue with the sound has been fixed but would like to be able to use the app in portrait mode. Landscape feels clunky and using the app in portrait wouldn’t mean the wheel is obstructed in any way. It’s just a circle. But the device you’re using would be more comfortable in hand..Version: 1.1.22

Great appI'm so excited to see this app! For years I thought it should be easy to make an intuitive chord wheel app but couldn't find one that was easy to use and display all of the info I was looking for. The only thing it's missing is the note numbers in the scale. A lot of chord wheels online show a small Roman numeral to represent the chord number under the letter. That addition would make this a 5 star app. Edit: Go through the tutorial. You can zoom into the key signature.Version: 1.1.22

Not bad....This app is designed for intermediate and above level players. If you do not know how to find C, C7, Cmaj7, Cm, and Cm7 chords already, then I wouldn't bother with this app just yet. This app is designed to help you find those "breath of fresh air" chords which will help you resolve your progressions. This app will not tell you which notes are in a chord! So if anything, this app would be a hinderance to you. Learn all your notes on a piano and or guitar. Then learn the five previously mentioned chords/triads. Once you get a basic understanding of where all the chords are and how to find them, learn some basic progressions such as I-IV-V and III-VI-II-V-I. If you are not familiar with anything I just mentioned, then this app really won't help you much since you will still have to know where to find the chords on piano or guitar. With that being said, this app has really helped me resolve a few progressions I've been working on. I have found this app very useful..Version: 1.0

Great appNeat training aid that helps me transpose songs on the go. Handy to have as an app. Save me tremendous time transposing songs for band..Version: 1.1.22

Fantastic!The real deal. This is the ORIGINAL! "Chord Wheel" finally brought to the iPhone. I've been using the original printed version of The Chord Wheel (published by Hal Leonard) for over three years, and this app version is even better! The guitar and piano chord voicings make it even more useful for noodling out pleasing new chord progressions for new songs. I'm using it on my iPad2 (with 2x scaling) and it works great, looks great! As a guitar-and-voice songwriter with absolutely no music theory background, I'd pretty much given up on myself ever learning music theory in this lifetime. Amazingly, The Chord Wheel is releasing me from the constraints of that limitation and making sense of it, as I noodle around creatively experimenting with new chord progressions for new songs. Unlike GarageBand, where I'm sometimes limited to a constrained subset of chords, Chord Wheel offers the full range of chords, they are all available, but there's a mapping that shows me what's going to work well together and why. Great app! Helps you bust out of your old habits and discover new musical combinations and progressions. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! A great creativity tool for any songwriter or musician!.Version: 1.0

Great appVery useful for me as an intermediate player who has been self-taught. I wonder why the VI (V of ii) 7, sus4 isn't also marked. Seems like it would be appropriate, but perhaps there is logic to its omission...? There's some latency in the chord playing but overall quite helpful!.Version: 1.0

Great reference tool. Sound is touchyThe chord wheel concept is an invaluable reference for composing. The app currently does everything the paper version will do for half the cost. Unfortunately, the extra sound function, which would be really cool, only works if you just barely touch the screen. I mean like barely touch it, almost so that you don't feel the screen. If you tap as you would the keyboard on your phone it will never play. This makes it impractical to use so it may just as well not work as other users have said. It would be an awesome feature to be able to find the key and chords for a song idea just by tapping your phone. Like have a piano or acoustic guitar in your pocket. Please fix the sound guys, if the sound worked right, i'd pay double..Version: 1.1

Wonderful app for vocalists and SolfègeI am vocalist who is trying to learn solfeggio. I purchased Jim Fleser's book, "The Chord Wheel", (published by Hal Leonard), and this app. LOVE them both. I sing in a choir, and have difficulty finding the lower harmony part, as I sing alto. My habit is to sing the melody, or soprano part. My whole reason for learning Solfège is to try to find and hit a lower, harmonizing note. The great thing about this app, for me, is that when I play the sequence of ascending notes in a scale, (each one a chord), I can hit the root note of the key. It is the fact that the scales ascend in chords that makes it easy for me to find my starting note. That is why I use this app, rather than a piano app, when I am singing with a choir. The book and app are great for trying to add solfeggio prompts to musical scores. For example, if I am in the key of D, I set the dial to the key of D. Then, I can see at a glance, that I - Do - D ii - Re - E iii - Mi - F sharp IV - Fa - G V - So - A vi - La - B vii - Ti - C sharp I also learned a lot about major scale diatonic 7ths. Thanks for the app!.Version: 1.0

LOVE IT!!!This app is great. Much more easier than just looking at the paper. But i would love for you guya to update this app. At least let it show you the minor scales of that scale and also to be able to show you the scales that you tap or double tap..Version: 1.0

What I was looking forI was looking for an app that could show me any chord progression in the major keys, and this was exactly the app that I was looking for. The play function is a little clunky on the app, but generally it works well and satisfied my expectations..Version: 1.0

Great App!Just what I wanted; the original chord wheel. It even plays the chords when you tap them, which is nice. It does not, however, show the chord. Perhaps that should be the next upgrade. I don't like switching between chord wheel and guitar chord apps with every chord I play. Thia is a great app though. Maybe it's a little expensive..Version: 1.0

Works great.Great tool for songwriters and producers. I had the book for years and this is a million times better. Not sure what all the moaning is about from the other reviewers..Version: 1.1

Works awesome for me!I just bought it after having the book. At first I was worried with all the bad reviews, but an impulse had me go ahead and gamble the $6.99. Glad I did!! Cool..Version: 1.1

What's going on?This is one of my all time favorite apps! I use it all the time. Out of no where, it crashed. It's not opening. I've tried it all. Restarting my phone, deleting the app, downloading it again. Nothing is working. Help?!.Version: 1.0

Needs to be updatedThis app is just what I needed to remember chord scales however this app Needs to be updated to support the new iOS.Version: 1.0

Interesting appThis is really a great app. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is due to the fact that it's incomplete, since it doesn't include the same setup with minor keys being the tonic..Version: 1.0

No iOS 9 support.Love this app but it hasn't been updated for iOS 9. If you try to run it expect it to crash on launch. Unusable. Too bad..Version: 1.0

Where are the promised updates?The app mentions more voicings and more instrument sounds.. When are we going to see those?.Version: 1.0

Does not work with iOS 9 need immediate update!App crashes before I can even access it on iOS 9.Version: 1.0

Love it!!It's due for a major update!?! Export midi files!!!.Version: 1.0

NicePerfect, just what I needed. Great job!.Version: 1.0

Pretty Good Chord Wheel AppThis app is pretty good. It is rather expensive for what you get though, and it is always upside down on my iPad. Also, there is something wrong with the C chord, as it is strummed too slow on the guitar. I also have The Chord Wheel as a printed book, and there is more of an explanation of its use in the printed book, however, the book has no sound. The sound inclusion in the app makes it more useful, and it is less than half the price of the book, and I can use it on my iPod, iPad mini, or iPad Pro. So, all in all, it’s pretty good, but there is room for improvement..Version: 1.1.22

Thank youI love trying out different progressions. Thanks for including secondary dominant. Really great app to understand music..Version: 1.1.22

Awesome, but...This is a great and simple-to-use app. My only complaints are the lack of a proper options page, e.g. font resizing for the explanation of the chord wheel, toggling the sound, etc. No complaints otherwise. The chord wheel itself is fantastic..Version: 1.1.22

Works on my iPhone 6s+Looks like the developers fixed the issue some users were having. The app works fine on my iPhone 6s+. Great tool overall..Version: 1.1.22

Fantastic tool!!Thank you for this great app.Version: 1.1.22

Great tool for musiciansI was already using the "paper" version of this tool, which helps a lot in understanding scales, chords building, progressions, and the so important cycle of fifths. I am now very happy to have the Ipod version, so flexible and always available! Being able to hear the chords sound is also great. Richard M..Version: 1.0
