A chord chart library that is ready when the song starts
Keep ChordPro and plain-text song charts filed by title and artist, in the same workspace as your tabs, your scores and your tuner.
The formats a chart already uses
Upload ChordPro and plain-text files, including CHO, CHORDPRO, CRD and TXT. A song chart is a simple thing and it should not need converting into a project file to be stored.
Recognise a chart before you open it
Each chart shows a text preview beside its title and artist, so you can tell two versions of the same song apart without opening both.
A set list should not be a scavenger hunt
Charts keep their own section in the library, so the twelve songs you need on Friday are in one place rather than scattered between downloads, screenshots and a notes app.
Yours, then everyone else’s if you want
A new chart is a draft only you can open. Publish it and it joins the shared library under your author name with a vote score other players contribute to.
Why chord charts deserve their own section
A chord chart is not a simplified tab. It is a different tool with a different job: it carries structure and changes for a song you already broadly know, and it has to be readable at a glance while you are playing rather than studied bar by bar.
Mixing charts into a folder of tablature makes both harder to use. Guitar PS keeps the three formats separate inside one library so each behaves the way it should.
Charts and the rest of the workspace
A chart tells you the changes. The rest of the workspace tells you what to do with them: build the same progression in Jam Lab and play it with a backing band, open Chord Finder for a voicing that moves less, or run the Chord-Tone Hunter over the same changes to stop playing shapes and start playing the harmony.
Because the chart and the tools share an account, moving between them costs nothing.
Frequently asked questions
- What chord chart files can I upload?
- ChordPro and plain-text formats, including CHO, CHORDPRO, CRD and TXT files.
- Is the chord chart library free?
- Yes. Uploading, organising and publishing chord charts is free, with no paid tier.
- Are my chord charts private?
- New charts are drafts only your account can open. They become visible to other signed-in players only if you publish them.
- Can I publish a chord chart?
- Yes. Publishing lists it in the shared library under your author name, where other signed-in players can open it and vote on it. Unpublishing returns it to a draft.
- Does Guitar PS check that a chart is correct?
- No. Charts are supplied and controlled by users. Guitar PS does not verify the accuracy or licensing of user-uploaded material, which is what the community vote score is for.
- Can I search my chord charts?
- Yes. Charts are searchable by title and artist within the library.
- Can I use a chord chart with a backing track?
- Yes. Build the same progression in Jam Lab and the backing band will follow the changes while you read the chart.
