Editors' Review
+A basic program aimed at helping guitarists expand their repertoire of chords and scales, this download suffers from interface inconveniences that undermine its overall appeal.
Guitar Alchemist offers undeniably useful information, with chord charts and fingerings matched with scales and modes. However, lists of chords and the chord tablature itself are displayed in resolution poor enough to make them look like a bad printout. A "detailed" button simply provides a message saying the feature is disabled in the free version.
We were initially a bit confused by the way scales are presented on the fret board, although practice with the program likely would ease this concern. On the whole, Guitar Alchemist Free could be a useful aid to guitar students, though many users may want to look for something with a more appealing interface.
Publisher's Description
+Explore the modes and chords of the major scale in any key with this great looking guitar tool. Easily find the right chord voicings, filtering them by difficulty or inversion, and list all the modes you can play over. The fingerboard can be configured (Left handed players, background texture, and other features). The theme of the application and MIDI settings can also be customized. Version 1.21 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
