Transpoze 2009 - guitar chords and transposing software

About...
So, here I am (a programmer) learning how to play an accoustic guitar .. hmm .. I looked around at some of the music / guitar software on the internet and thought "I wonder how they do that?" So I figured I'd learn a bit of music theory and how chords work on the guitar.. The result, so far, is "Transpoze" .. a program that helps me do things like:
  • transpozing songs into easier keys (so I can actually play them)
  • keeping track of guitar chord patterns
  • finding alternate fingering for that difficult chord
  • printing a song with chord diagrams at the end
  • and whatever else I (or my fellow guitar students) might want to do .. (within my programming ability :)

    Feel free to download this program, I hope you find it useful!
    Oh, and check back from time to time for updates..
