    The opening bars, played by the guitar alone or nearly: they announce the song.

Automatic analysis: it can get a chord wrong, and your ear has the last word.

Analyze your own recording

Record yourself playing it, or upload a version you have the right to use: the studio isolates the guitar and finds the chords, tempo, strumming and fingerings, with a fretboard video and a PDF.
