Standard Scale Types

ChordWizard is supplied with 31 standard scale types, covering all musical styles.

 

Depending on your playing level, not all of these are activated.  Scale types can be independently activated or deactivated so the picture of music theory presented can be as simple or as complete as you wish.

 

Intermediate and Advanced playing levels require ChordWizard Gold Edition.  The Silver Edition operates only at Beginner level.
