tool guitar players

Hi,

Based on a simple markup, I wrote a tool to generate nice charts for guitar chords or scales.

Example:

This markup

III
| - - -
| o - -
| - o -
| - o -
| - - -
X - - -

will turn into this picture:

I am using this tool for my personal guitar lesson notes. For me, working with markup is much more intuitive than using coordinates as other tools do.

Maybe you like it too ...

Regards,
Thomas

I love the idea of using charts for guitar chords and scales. I’ve been learning guitar myself, and having a visual guide has really helped me a lot.

Also, if anyone’s interested in learning more about guitar or any other instrument, I found artmaster.com recently. They offer online music lessons that could go really well with your tool.

I'm curious about how to use this tool. Sorry for the stupid question, but I've just recently begun learning how to play a guitar.
