What is this?
This is an interactive demo of Fretscape's chord transition optimizer.
You'll see the progression G → D → Em → C played two ways: first in the "common" way, then with Fretscape's optimized approach that minimizes finger movement between chords.
The markers track each finger - less movement means smoother, faster chord changes.

From your first barre chord to your hundredth gig - the right voicing makes every change easier.
