Overview
Section titled “Overview”Guitar Chords is an interactive web application that lets you search for guitar chords and see them displayed on a guitar neck diagram. It includes audio playback powered by WebAudioFont so you can hear what each chord sounds like — combining visual and audio learning in the browser.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”The app renders an SVG fretboard and overlays finger positions for the selected chord. When you select a chord, WebAudioFont synthesises the sound of each string being played, giving instant audio feedback without requiring any audio samples to be downloaded.
This means the entire app runs client-side with zero backend dependencies — search, render, and playback all happen in the browser.
Features
Section titled “Features”- Chord Search — Look up any chord by name with instant results
- Guitar Neck Visualisation — Interactive SVG fretboard showing finger positions and string mappings
- Audio Playback — Hear chords played back using WebAudioFont synthesis — no audio files needed
- Responsive Design — Works on desktop and mobile with touch-friendly interactions
- Zero Backend — Entirely client-side, deployable as a static site
Why this matters
Section titled “Why this matters”This project demonstrates building interactive audio web experiences — combining real-time audio synthesis with visual UI in the browser. The same techniques (Web Audio API, SVG rendering, client-side audio) apply to music education tools, interactive marketing experiences, and browser-based instruments.
