Default Capo app

Just tried an amazing app called capo. It takes a song from your iTunes library, analyses the content, figures out the key and displays the chords. You can also set the capo position and it will transpose the chords. It has adjustable speed and a scrolling display with chord charts. I have only tried a few songs, so I am not sure if accuracy, but even if imperfect it is pretty impressive.

I just got it (Capo) last week and have used it to get the chords for some songs out of my iTunes Library. Overall I think it is a great help, but you have to pay attention to what it is telling you and don't necessarily create a chart using the exact chords it indicates. Sometimes the original song will have passing notes or riffs that seem to indicate some pretty complicated chords when a more basic chord shape will work. It is pretty impressive though, I'm sure I will use it pretty regularly as the ability to loop a song or a section AND to slow it down while maintaining the proper key is a pretty cool feature!
