Chord anticipation compares your selected guitar track with a chord-shape dictionary, helping ghost fingers suggest more consistent positions across the song.

Built for the love
of playing.
Hi, I’m Jonathan A. Corona. Green Guitarist Studio grew out of my love for guitar and a desire to make learning more visual, approachable, and enjoyable.
Tabs tell you which notes to play. I wanted a clearer way to see where my fingers belong, recognize the chord behind a phrase, and practice at my own pace. So I brought those tools together in one free studio.

SEE THE SHAPE BEHIND THE SONG
Find the chord
behind the notes.
Turn on Chord anticipation and the studio analyzes the entire selected guitar track against a built-in dictionary of open, barre, movable and seventh-chord shapes.
It looks for familiar shapes in chords and arpeggios, then considers neighboring bars to suggest more consistent finger placements and fewer unnecessary hand shifts. That makes the preview more useful when a chord is picked one note at a time.
- Prepare a shared shape. Chorded Playing suggests a held position for the current bar, with an option to include one extra bar when the notes fit.
- Include your thumb style. Changing Thumb bass mode updates the fingering analysis for fretted sixth-string bass notes.
- Keep the written music. The analysis suggests finger placements for the existing notes. Single-note runs and conflicting positions keep a moving-finger plan.
Available in the web studio and Windows app. Analysis runs on your device. Look for Full track analyzed when it is ready.

Play the note.
Let the music follow.
Listen & wait listens to your guitar and holds the current target until it hears a stable matching note. Play the right note, and the tab and fretboard move on to the next one.
Use your microphone to get started. With the installed Windows app, you can also plug your guitar into your computer through a suitable USB audio interface. A clean direct signal can reduce room noise and improve recognition accuracy.
Choose your input in Audio inputs, then enable Listen & wait. Chord matching and bend-friendly assistance are available too; recognition depends on your signal and remains experimental.
