William, It Was Really Nothing

Piano Chords One would think that searching for such a pedantic string via Google would not net much in this post-adwords age, however Chord House's (apparently HTML-based) Chord Generator app is suprisingly nifty, with visualizations and audio samples of both each of the notes and and chord itself. Now don't go hogging all the bandwidth -- I aim to plunk down "People Just Ain't No Good" from available chord tablature for the next half hour or so...

Downside: sample does not refresh.

What a remarkable coincidence; I was looking at this just a few days ago. Very useful indeed.

I'm sorry, but a lot of these samples (like the two arabian scales) are totally bogus. I don't know who is behind this. Certainly not an ethnomusicoligist.

What's with the Google condemnation? Their ads are clearly marked and "Guitar Chords" finds a similar tool

I've been using this guy's Guitar Chords since I started playing guitar. A perfect use for JavaScript.
