I don’t mean the chord part of the guitar, which also needs an update to make it better. I mean this because I take e.g. G major, but nobody usually plays like that on the guitar. There are many common ways. I mean it would automatically show the chord for the guitar that you designed for the piano. A chord that could be played on a guitar. From the fingerboard of a few. I don’t even mean the feature that is in Scaler. In addition, chord translations. ---

New to scaler, so I was expecting “guitar voicing” would take care of it. If we could edit on the fretboard and save… that would helpt! I may still find that as I learn more. Dunno… ---

I posted about this over a year ago (“campfire chords”) and yes - while Scalar while tends to be king when it comes to creating chords for keyboards - it seems (even after update after update) that the Scalar crew has no one on staff that has any idea what guitar players do at any time. You nailed it - if I am in Guitar mode at first position - I expect to start with the Mel Bay Super Simple chords that we all know and love - AND nothing more. I also expect if I choose an open G Major chord to start with and drag it to my DAW (Studio One) - that the midi notes created are the 6 notes that are in a Mel Bay Grade 1 Music book open G chord. I do not wish to spend time editing, removing or changing any notes. I should be able to drag that G in and get: G on the 6th String B on the 5th String D (Open 4th String) G (Open Third String) B (Open 2nd string) G on 1st String. And all other simple first position chords (C, A, D, D7 etc) should resolve to the same. But they do not. Sonic. ---

> [@SonicMojo](#): > > it seems (even after update after update) that the Scalar crew has no one on staff that has any idea what guitar players do at any time. Actually they have one, at least And I hope that the next major release will home some good news about features for instruments different from keyboards (even woodwinds are neglected BTW)
