Here’s what a user post about Chorducate recently:
I wanted to share this diagram I made using your app and provide a review (positive) about my experience making this!
For context I teach guitar for a living and make visual art/ graphic design as a hobby. I have a student with a learning disability (dyslexia, discalculia, several other things) who has trouble following traditional tab and diagrams.
I thought it might be helpful if I could make them a color-coded diagram since they have no trouble distinguishing between color.
After a few quick searches I could find fretboard diagrams that sorted notes by color but very few that used a different color for ALL 12 notes in our 12-tone system.
I wanted to go one step beyond and make a diagram that shows where different duplicates and octaves of the same letter-name note reside on the guitar since that’s fairly abstract compared to other instruments like keyboard.
I went down a reddit rabbit-hole of other people who made color-coded diagrams of the guitar fretboard and somewhere I came across Chorducate and I’m happy I did!
I’m familiar with design software like photoshop and figma and my skills there are translating in this app. The app is super remniscent of figma, which I love.
I also love the ability to just drag and drop in clean-looking fretboard diagrams.
So hopefully Chorducate will be useful to you all too! Let me know your thoughts and if you have any ideas or feedback. Have a great weekend!
This is your first ever post in the Community.
Welcome.
There has been a little suspicion about your post and it has been flagged as potential spam.
We have a strict no-spam policy.
The fact that you say it is free and that you have devised it all by yourself is admirable.
Is this a for-profit software in any way whatever?
Or is it totally freeware?
Please reply asap so the moderators can assess. Thanks
I hope you’ll appreciate and receive the questions in the positive spirit intended. This Community has a a specific purpose and ethod and we do strive to safeguard that.
Good to know it is free.
Neverthess, as a Community the focus is primarily on learning guitar and we are cautious about the promotion of products/projects. Most typically that is established musicians wanting to market their YouTube (and similar) channel for views, likes and subscribes. Questions are going to be asked when a post appears to be primarily about a product, rather than that being secondary to the person’s guitar learning at JustinGuitar.com.
If this is a side project that is part of your learning and enjoyment of guitar and you are a student of JustinGuitar then I suggest you introduce yourself here: Introduce yourself ... Share some of your guitar and musical journey and aspirations.
I completely understand your concerns given that this is my first post on the forum and the post does outright promote my app. Building this app is and has always been a part of my learning journey, but admittedly I have always been “just a consumer” of Justin Guitar and the forum, and this is my first post.
If you believe this to be not in line with the community rules then feel free to remove the post - I earnestly just thought it would be useful for and appreciated by community members since it allows concepts to be visualised and communicated completely for free via the web on any device without needing to purchase something like Neck Diagrams (diagrams which I often see people posting in the forum)
Sorry, I didn’t mean to rub anyone the wrong way, but I can see how my post would’ve done so!
