The house tools

Free online tools for guitarists: tuner, metronome, chord finder

Twelve tools, open all night, no sign-in needed.

Suede Muse keeps twelve free tools for the working guitarist, all running in the browser. No account, no install. A mic-based chromatic tuner, a full metronome with tap tempo, an interactive circle of fifths that doubles as a chord finder for any key, a chord transposer with capo suggestions, and eight more below.

Tune, keep time, find the chords

• The tuner. Free chromatic tuner: mic-based, cents-accurate, with guitar string hints and adjustable reference pitch.
• The metronome. Tap tempo, time signatures, subdivisions, accents, and a tempo ramp for building speed.
• The circle of fifths. The chord finder of the house: click any key to see its signature, scale notes, diatonic chords with roman numerals, relative and parallel keys, and common borrowed chords.
• The transposer. Paste a chord chart, transpose it to any key, and get capo suggestions that turn hard keys into open shapes.

Practice tools

• The loop. A-B loop any section of your own audio file and slow it down without changing pitch. Your file never leaves the browser.
• The ear. Interval recognition drills plus a functional mode that teaches scale degrees against a real tonal center.
• The drone. A sustained reference pitch for intonation and improv practice.
• The groove. A step-sequencer drum machine with swing, accents, and preset grooves to practice or write over.
• The logbook. Track practice sessions with a timer, focus tags, weekly totals, and streaks. Stored privately in your browser.

Stage and paperwork

• The setlist. Build setlists with keys, tempos, durations, and running times. Print a clean copy for the stage.
• The prompter. Turn any lyric sheet into a full-screen auto-scrolling stage prompter with mirror mode.
• The splits. A songwriter split sheet calculator: balance shares to exactly 100 and print a signable sheet.

Where other tools beat these

If you want the chords to one specific song, Chordify genuinely does that better. It detects the chords from the recording itself. Ultimate Guitar’s tab archive is deeper than anything here. The house tools are for the other jobs: tuning up, keeping time, learning what the chords in a key are doing, and getting a practice session to actually happen.

All twelve live under the toolkit, alongside the sign-in workbench (recorder, lyric journal, melody trace). The nightly ritual they orbit is the daily songwriting prompt.
