ShedTabRead chords from a chord sheet (photo or PDF to chord shapes)
Upload a chord sheet photo or PDF and every chord the song uses is collected on one screen as chord shapes.
How to use it
- Upload a photo (JPG, PNG) or a PDF above. A phone photo of a printed sheet works too.
- The chords appear as diagrams in the order they first show up. Tap one to hear it.
- Transpose up or down, and see which capo fret makes the most chords open shapes.
Good to know
- Text recognition can misread a chord. Tap it in the chord progression to fix it.
- Lyrics aren’t read. Your original sheet is shown next to the result (below it on phones).
- The first time, about 7 MB of recognition data downloads. After that it takes a few seconds.
Questions
- Which sheets work best? Typed sheets with clear chord names. Handwriting and blurry photos produce more mistakes.
- Does it read Guitar Pro tabs? Drop tabs on the home page to open them as playable scores. This tool is for sheets with only chords and lyrics.
