Free Triad Practice Tool

wdickerson

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share a little web app I made to help with triad practice: chordflow.net. It's free to use and runs in your browser.

I built it to help me internalize open and closed-position triads through actual tunes rather than isolated exercises. You can generate etudes across a bunch of jazz standards (I imported charts from iReal), and you can also create your own chord progressions.

It works on mobile too (you’ll need to unmute your iPhone to hear the audio), but I recommend using it in a desktop browser for the best experience.

Hope it’s helpful for anyone else working on this stuff, and I'm happy to hear any feedback or suggestions!

That's neat! Would be cool if it had a fretboard and you could visualize the triads that way somehow as well!

Thanks for sharing this! It seems really nice. If you get a minute I’d love a brief video showing how you are using this in your practice.

@vilhelmo yes! That would be awesome. Planning on adding that functionality soon, though it's harder than the keyboard since most triads can be played in multiple places on the fretboard.

@flaco thanks for checking it out! I'll make a Minor Swing demo video this weekend.

@wdickerson is there a way to get it to play the chords static (not arpregios); and can it play more then 3 voices (Ie. will the 7th's ever be added?)

@flaco here's a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCRb_uU1ioA

@bbwood_98 there's a toggle for arpeggio/block chords:

Working on adding 4-note chords!

@wdickerson thanks for creating the tool and taking the time to make the video! This is actually perfect timing for some of the things that I’m working on, so I’m definitely going to try and incorporate it!
