Yo, Pick Yer Axe (& We'll Handle the Math)

Okay so like, this whole section is basically us askin' you which pretend instrument you're gonna fake-play along to. Because apparently we gotta know if you're strummin' a ukulele or hammerin' a piano so we can make the chord thingies look right & not totally confuse your eyeballs. Wild concept, amirite.

Your Main Squeeze (aka Default Instrument)

Pick whichever stringed/boppy contraption is your jam, & we'll make sure every chord diagram matches YOUR world (not some other nerd's). Choices:

• Banjo (for people who enjoy pain)
• 4-string bass guitar (aka the "I forgot the other 2 strings" special)
• 5-string bass guitar (the whole family!)
• Guitar (Duh. Default. Obviously. We're not monsters.)
• Mandolin (hipster speedrun unlocked)
• Piano (okay fine, keyboards count)
• Ukulele (smol vibes energy)
• Baritone ukulele (smol vibes but ANGRY)

The Transpose Thingy (aka "My Instrument Is Weird")

So you play some bougie instrument that doesn't live in the same musical universe as normal people? Cool cool cool. Tell us which flavor of "concert pitch disaster" you're rockin', & we'll bend the chords around so they actually make sense on your weird ax. Feast your eyes:

• Off → Doin' it legit (concert pitch, guitars, drums, pianos—basically if your instrument isn't named after a flat note, you're here)
• B-flat → You got yourself a trumpet, clarinet, bass clarinet, or you're a soprano/tenor sax person. Join the club!
• E-flat → Soprano clarinet? Alto sax? Baritone sax? Yeah, you're the E-flat crew. We see you.
• F → French horn or English horn vibes. Fancy.
• G → Alto flute. There's like... one of you. Hi.
