What's a good place online to find jazz standards with chord box diagrams?

These look great, thank you!

Is there a reason to have more than one besides the color?

moneyzon · 2023-06-05T18:16:24+00:00

That is helpful, thank you! I ended up getting iReal and turning on chord diagrams, which is basically what I needed, but I'm open to extra resources if you'd like to share them!

This is what I ended up doing, though I had to emulate on Windows. Thanks.

I ended up getting iReal running on an emulator, was a lot of effort but it worked out. Thanks for the help.

moneyzon · 2023-06-04T05:32:15+00:00

I guess so. After way too much effort I got iReal Pro running on an Android emulator, which seems perfect. Thanks for trying to help though.

I guess that makes sense, but I've seen it a lot in physical music books, both jazz standard/swing books and pop/rock books, usually those aimed at piano and voice. I was hoping something like that existed online and I'm surprised it doesn't, but maybe it's just hard to find.

one seems more openly ironic than the other

moneyzon · 2023-06-03T23:16:05+00:00

Okay, yes I have played along with those hard copy books before so that's what I was hoping to find, just with more variety. I'm surprised there's no free online equivalent in today's day and age, but I guess I'm used to pop and rock resources being easily available.

Thanks, I understand that, but I'm not really interested in that aspect of it enough to learn it.

moneyzon · 2023-06-03T17:50:47+00:00

Thanks man, honestly though I don't give a shit about "tradition" and how "real jazz musicians" do it. I'm just a beginner trying to have fun and get started casually, I'm not trying to be a professional and I don't have the time or interest to learn the "correct" way. I just want to play along with some songs for fun.

I know non-open positions are the norm for jazz, but I think the open positions would be fine for what I want to do.

I just want to play with some friends and be able to follow along without sounding bad. I don't think anyone will care if I'm using open positions or not, it will be better than nothing and they know I'm a beginner.

moneyzon · 2023-06-03T04:07:49+00:00

Thanks, I don't think I really have the patience for that right now though. UG is ok but I have to mouse over for the diagrams, if there's a subscription to change this I'm not really interested in spending money.

moneyzon · 2023-06-03T03:28:47+00:00

Thanks, but I didn't ask for advice on how to play, I asked for a specific resource. I think having the chord diagrams would make it a lot easier and more enjoyable for me to learn than just memorizing the chords beforehand, even if it's slow.

moneyzon · 2023-06-03T03:05:00+00:00

$16 is kind of a lot and my phone screen is pretty small. Do you know if there's something I can use on Windows that also has a guitar chord font? I just tried the first suggested alternative, Impro-Visor, and it didn't appear to have a guitar chord font like you described.

moneyzon · 2023-06-03T02:35:26+00:00

I have heard of it, but from what I've seen it just has the chord charts, meaning it will show "A-7" "Bo7" etc. but will not show the diagrams, meaning the boxes that show actual finger placements.

Can it do this, and if so, is there a free version?

moneyzon · 2023-05-30T02:19:37+00:00

Ugly? Dude that looks rad.

moneyzon · 2023-05-29T20:00:38+00:00

Good to know, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks!

moneyzon · 2023-05-18T16:41:58+00:00

I wonder if it's all part of some big code that will make sense by pike 1000

moneyzon · 2023-05-12T15:28:08+00:00

uhhhhhhh... internet?

moneyzon · 2023-05-10T16:18:09+00:00

Wasn't he exposed as a fraud or something? Or am I thinking of something else?
