## Description

Chordial is a multi-instrument chord dictionary that hosts thousands of chord diagrams for guitar, ukulele, banjo, and mandolin. Use the intuitive three-wheel interface to dial up any chord and view fingerings along with multiple variations.

Tap a diagram to hear how it should sound on your instrument. Diagrams support right- and left-handed forms, with standard tunings: Guitar EADGBE, Ukulele GCEA, Banjo GDGBD, and Mandolin GDAE. New instruments and tunings are added automatically via downloadable chord packs. To request support for a specific instrument, contact us from the app or email feedback@chord-detector.com.
