    Some ruthless and shamless pluggin on my behalf here.

    A friend of mine plays guitar and wanted a way to change the chords of a guitar by shifting them along. (changing the key?) Anyway that's a boring thing to have to do and a computer programme could do it nice and quick. Being the hacker that I am, I wrote such a programme for him. And I might as well share it with the world.

    It's available at http://rory.netsoc.com/webapps/chords.php. It's a web application, so you don't have to download anything or pay me anything (you can if you want :) ). Just go there, put your music chords into the box and press 'transform'. It'll change the key to all possible keys and tell you the results.

    I'd appreciate feedback/suggestions/etc.

    It's a bit pointless.

    Quite pointless. Just searchs for the letter and runs it through a Select statement.

    Fair play for doing it and all though.

    The original C#m7
    Moved along by 1 Dm7
    Moved along by 2 D#m7
    Moved along by 3 Em7
    Moved along by 4 Fm7
    Moved along by 5 F#m7
    Moved along by 6 Gm7
    Moved along by 7 G#m7
    Moved along by 8 A#m7
    Moved along by 9 Bm7
    Moved along by 10 Cm7
    Moved along by 11 C#m7


    Dude, if your friend doesn't know that D comes after C then he ought to go back to junior infants :)

    Nice, but of no real value to a musician, if you could put in a chord and it tells you the notes within the chord or shows the chord shape, that might be useful. As it is though, even a drummer knows Cm7 comes after Bm7 :p

    My friend just wanted some way to change the chord of songs. He knows how to play them (AFAIK). He found it handy, and I though some people might like it.

    What should the correct out put be? As far as I can see from that output D does come after C in that. It goes C, D. What am I missing?

    Man that is poo. If your mate is too lazy to learn the notes on his instrument there's no need for you to be writing him a program to help, he'll never get too far as a musician anyway.

    He only wanted it to change the chords of a whole song. He could do it himselt, but one should never do something again and again if a computer can do it.
