Guitar Strum Trainer (alpha version)
Interactive tool that teaches a variety of strumming
patterns. Easily create and save new strum patterns with any number of
measures. Adjust speed to match your skill level. Experimental new
capability that listens to your strumming and informs you if you are missing the
pattern, rushing or dragging.
To create a custom chord sequence, add one measure at a time selecting whole
notes, half notes, triads, quarter notes, eight notes, 16th notes, 32nd notes.
Select an emphasis for each note in the measure (normal, accented, mute, slap).

country have three measures of quarter notes. Even create 5/4 or 5/8
rhythms.
Guitar Chord Trainer (beta version)
Interactive tool that teaches triads, triad inversions, open chords, barre
chords, root chords and jazz shell chords across the fretboard.
Configure your preferred string sets, inversions and target frets. Select
from a series of Blues, Classical, Jazz, Rock, and Random chord sequences or
create and save your own. The chord sequence notes scroll across the
screen at your preferred speed. The triad or triad inversion is played
through your speakers along with simple drum and bass tracks. The random
chord sequences generate a series of major, minor and 7 chords so you can
practice reacting quickly to unexpected chord changes.
USAGE: Pick a chord sequence from the preset song list, random sequences options
or custom sequences. Select a preferred inversion set if applicable. Pick
a target fret area and the tool will try to keep all generated chords and
fingerings in that area. (Target frets may not apply if you select open chords,
root chords, or single inversion options.) Hit play to get started.
CUSTOMER SEQUENCES: To create a new chord sequence, add measures as needed by entering chord names such as A, Bm, Cb-, D7, Emin7, Fb5b7, Gdim, Asus4, Badd4, C6, Dm6, etc. Enter '%' to repeat a measure or note.
