Show Sponsor
The sponsor for today’s show is a simple, beautiful new app called Chordmatic. One of the skills any great worship musician needs is transposition. One week a song may be in B. Another week, it may be in D. Sometimes keys change on the fly. Chordmatic is one of the quickest ways I’ve seen to transpose chords right from your smartphone.
In the middle of a rehearsal, you can plug the chords in to the app and email it to everyone else on the team. I also love that you add your capo position to determine the proper key as well.
Check it out at getchordmatic.com. It’s a $1.99 well spent.
