Riffstation is a desktop application for Mac and Windows computers. Load any MP3 and Riffstation will automatically detect the chords and sync the chord diagrams with the music. You can also slow down the audio, change the pitch, isolate or mute guitar parts, loop specific sections and even sync a metronome.

Until May 2018, there used to be a free web version that worked on YouTube videos, an iOS version, and the desktop version was paid for ($34.99). The iOS and web versions are no longer available, and the desktop version is now free. More Info »

ChordU

Extracts chords from any song, integrated YouTube. It's all free with capo tuner and comes with two versions of chords for a song. Start playing along.
- Its chord structure interface is very similar to Riffstation. I can choose any song and get the chord breakdown. The most important feature is duplicated in ChordU well. Guest • 10 days ago
- ChordU does the same job as riffstation does. ChordU haa integrated YouTube. It has free capo tuner as like riffstation. And now riffstation is gone or down. It is the best alternative out there. avikhazra • May 2018 • 2 agrees and 2 disagrees
