Helpful site for songwriting

I’ve been learning guitalele and guitar as well as uke.

The past couple months i’ve been trying to learn about composing /songwriting off and on. (Thank you Andrew)

I found this site today accidentally trying to figure out what guitalele chords I was using on something I started writing, (to help find the key it’s in) and wanted to share since others are songwriting.

If you have a chord progression of at least 2 chords it suggests other chords and a variety of scales to use over your progression.

If you mark the fretboard with xx on the lowest two strings, and create a bar on fret 5 (treating it as a nut) this gives the ukulele open string names and from there you can play with uke chords. You will have to count fret numbers differently since a G chord obviously isn’t “787”. The site supports ukulele but I can’t find a ukulele specific neck. (If someone finds it let me know)

(PS. I seem to have a thing for songs that use diminished chords. I was given a hard time by people in a guitar forum because I started learning F# diminished. They told me “No, no, don’t learn diminished chords! They aren’t used!” Well they are, and seem to be in quite a few songs I enjoy, (and in the thing I’m writing, unintentionally) so my advice is to learn whatever you want. Don’t let people talk you out of learning something just because someone thinks you’re ‘doing it wrong.’)

Best wishes to everyone!
