Key features
Tuning
Includes the most common tunings for guitar. They are:
|
|
Tunings can be set for left and right handed players, so
that the strings and chords will look the same as on your guitar.
SIX useful operational views
Chord Discovery
 |
A free-form view in which you can click on the fretboard to form your own chords. After each click, the program will try to determine what chord you have formed and displays it in the box at the bottom of the screen. You can set the discovery to look up the chords in the static database or have an algorithm used to print the discoveries. |
Chord Plotter
|
Displays chords according to the selection in each of the note, type and variation fields. There are 36 chord types, so for common chords, there are 2,592, while dynamically generated chords show up to 21,600 chords! Standard Tuning (EADGBE) has the option to use dynamic chord generation (via the Tools menu) or static reference. There are 6 of the most common variations for each chord type stored in an internal reference table. When not in dynamic chord generation mode, the program will use this to reference and display chords. When using dynamic chord generation, the program uses an algorithm to find 50 variations of the chord and allows the user to see those. Only Standard Tuning chords have been put into the internal reference table. All other tunings use dynamic chord generation. Display chords however you like. You can highlight the open and muted strings, show an icon or both. You can even have a note highlight when it plays! Pocket GuitarRef 2007 is completely customizable according to your preferences. |

This view allows you to tap each string that you want as part of your pick pattern and save it for later use via the Pick Pattern Manager. |

Favorites
 |
Allows you to save specific chords, scales or modes. These favorites are shown for their respective view. In other words, the favorites you have set for your chords while in Chord view will not appear when in Scale view. You are also allowed 10 favorites per tuning in each of the program views. |
Sounds Sounds allow:
| |
Sound Packs |
|
 |
Sound packs are files that you can download and reference in Pocket GuitarRef 2007. The program senses and makes the sounds available once the program starts up. This allows the program to cater to every type of user, from those with limited memory to others that have much more room to play with. There are currently basic sound packs, that have medium-quality, moderately-sized sound files for those that just want basic sound. Future packs will have high-quality, larger sound files, for those that want the highest quality sound available. |
Sound Effects |
|
 |
In addition to sound, you can now add sound effects as your sound packs play! Reverb is currently only supported, but other effects will be added in future updates. |
Progressions Ever have a chord progression that you want to work on, but don't have the time, or it's just inconvenient? Pocket GuitarRef 2007 allows you to play with chord progressions on the go. You pick your chord, string picking pattern, and # of times to play. This results in a pattern, which group together into progressions. You can even import and export your favorite progressions to share with others. | |
Progression Manager |
|
 |
The Progression Manager holds all over your progressions for easy viewing and access to editing. Progressions are categorized by their tuning. From here, you can add, edit and delete progressions, as well as see their details and even sample what they sound like. The Progression Manager also allows import and export of progressions so that you can share your creations with the world. |
| Progression Pattern Editor | |
 |
The Progression Editor allows easy editing and reordering of patterns. All patterns and their relevant information is displayed clearly so you can get on with the important business of creating the next big hit! |
 |
The Pattern Editor shows all of a pattern's details:
You can even test what the pattern will sound like before you commit to using it. All note information is displayed on the screen, so you're always kept informed. This improved editor now checks your pick pattern to make sure there won't be any problems trying to play it with the associated chord. For example, trying to play a string that's muted in the chord generates a warning similar to the screenshot seen to the left. |
| Pick Pattern Manager | |
 |
Allows you to create, edit, delete, and categorize Pick Patterns by tuning type. These Pick Patterns show up when browsing for Pick Patterns in various dialogs. |
| Integrated context-sensitive help system | |
 |
Since there's a load of new features in Pocket GuitarRef 2007, and everyone learns at their own pace, there's an integrated context-sensitive help system. Clicking the '?' button on any screen brings up help specific to that screen. |
Landscape screen support
 |
Pocket GuitarRef 2007 now supports all screen resolutions and orientations. Notice that you're now able to hide the taskbar, giving you that much more vertical space. This greatly aids in viewing the fretboard on square and landscape screens. |
