About
Using alternate tunings on guitar is fun, but in doing so we lose our familiarity with chord shapes. As an amateur guitarist myself I have enjoyed using various different tunings but found it frustrating that in re-tuning I lost my acquaintance with the fretboard. Chordstar makes playing in alternate tunings less daunting and more accessible, and is adjustable to provide a visual representation of the notes on the fretboard to enable quick and intelligent chord construction in any feasible alternate tuning. Chordstar can be used by guitarists of any standard, from absolute beginner to professional.

I have personally hand made each unit with the utmost care and precision to ensure optimized longevity and product quality. In making this product I have tried to stay as true as possible to the acoustic guitar, with no tacky mechanics or gimmick extras that could so easily be added. I am initially selling a limited batch of these hand made Mark I products. In future production runs I may have to reduce the quality of materials to suit larger scale production and increase unit cost effectiveness. There may also be a slight change in design. This site will be kept up to date to ensure that you know exactly what you are buying.

Future production runs may include the following:
- Partial capo features, to help you compose using a partial capo
- More compact size, possibly small enough to fit in a guitar case
- Scale formulas feature, to display a selection of scales in any key

Again, feedback is really important for me here, please let me know any positive or negative feelings regarding changes to chordstar in the ‘contact’ page.
