Introducing the ChordMaster 2000 ;-)
OK, so maybe I sexed up the design and UI a little too much for such a simple task, but it was fun to see how far I could go with javascript and SVG (and no flash or silverlight).
It was also a proof point for jTab - the javascript library I released last week that renders arbitrary guitar chord and tab using SVG. Happily, it worked fine without a tweak - just some extension methods that are specific to the ChordMaster application (like getting an array of all chords that are defined as "intermediate" level).
PS: big thanks to @jasonong who's jumped in and already made some great contributions to the jTab project on github -- It's amazing to see github rock as a "social coding" platform - create a public project one day, have changes to merge back the next. Trivial to do with git, and the great visualisation of the project revision/branch history makes merging so easy to understand.

Nice blog! I was always searching for a blog like this so that i can get more information and entertainment as I got it from your blog.
Thanks Nick.
Learning the guitar can be a great hobby and can actually be very relaxing. However, many times people go about learning the guitar in the wrong way. The truth is, in order to learn guitar chords, there really is no short cut and many people think that simply going online and looking up basic chords will help them know how to learn guitar chords. Whatever way you learn, you must make sure before you invest any money that it is not a waste.
I found that quite informative.
That looks like a cool software. Thanks for sharing. Nice blog by the way.
Thank you so much for sharing this. This is really incredible. I do believe that I will have so much fun with this as much as you did. Thank you again.
