    A short, catchy figure repeated through the song: the part everyone recognizes first.

Children of the Grave chords

What the studio found on the isolated guitar of the recording: the key and the chords, with fingerings that flow from one to the next.

Chords
C#m · A · B · G#m

Here the guitar mostly plays solos and riffs: these chords are the ones its lines outline, enough to back it or improvise over it.

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.
