My friend who's been a self-taught musician for 10 years hit a plateau and realized he needed to understand music theory in order to progress in his ability to make music. After downloading tons of apps and tools he still just couldn't get it. So he basically disappeared into his bedroom for 3 years getting super weird (his words) and going down tons of rabbit holes that led him to Da Vinci's notebooks, the laws of nature, and him regularly consulting a shaman trying to come up with a way to help him learn. He first started by constructing a wooden Circle of Fifths like device to begin working things out in his head and to understand what kind of tool he would need to express everything he was learning.
It was at that stage he came to me and our friend who is an app developer and we started developing the Chordly app combining everything in his head creating a new UI that combines colors, Chords, Progressions, and even 440hz & 432hz frequencies. Being a musician he has many friends who also play music and for his small group of friends, the app has become indispensable and really improved all their understanding, abilities, and their music.
We finally feel like we have enough initial evidence to see if others find it useful and want to eventually release it on the app store. We will give anyone who volunteers to try it out and provide feedback a lifetime free access to it and any other accompanying apps we create (we also want to do about 7 - 9 other music apps using the basic framework specific to guitar, singing, keeping time, etc.). We will also donate free lifetime access in your honor to a musician who's been negatively affected by COVID this year.
There's absolutely no commitment required beyond just answering some questions for us about your experience using it. If you'd like to volunteer to try it out before we launch you can just sign up on our website and once we are ready to start testing we will email you all the details.
Thanks for your attention if you made it this far and hopefully we can offer you all something you love!
Stay safe & happy.
PS if you're interested an upvote would be dope :)
