Hi

I'm in the process of learning my first song (Walk down town).

I'm pretty good with the chord changes when i'm not trying to sing.

So my problem is that i seem not to be able to count 2x to 4 and at the same time do the singing and chord change. I know that this is a typical brain overload situation but we are in 2015 and i think a simple piece of software could do here massive help for the beginner like me.

My idea is that a software is listening to the microphone and has some chord progression input option. For Walk down town this would be:

4xC,4xC,4xG,4xG,4xC,4xC,4xG,4xG,4xC,4xC,4xG,4xG,4xC,4xC,4xG,4xG,4xC

So now when it detects a strum it counts of after 4 strums it could display "next Chord" or a Blue bar or whatever just to show that you need to change the chords now. This would also improve the speed of the "natural" learning to know when the chords are done eg: you strumed four times.

I know that every guitar sound different and so on but as the notes are universal it should be doable.

However a much more simpler solution would be to "pimp" the metronome app already on the site to show something that catches your attention when 4 "clicks" are done. Like a big Sign in Green "Chord change now" or something.

I believe this would help a great deal for the beginner to learn how to "feel" when 4 strums are done and reducing the amount of time it would take normal without such an app.

So what do you think of this idea ?

Also if you have general tipps on who to learn to know then 4 strums are done while doing other things like singing please don't hesitate to share your thoughts and findings.

Thanks
