LibreGuitar

CLI application that recognizes notes played on a guitar through the sound interface. This project is still in very early development stages. Some of the possible upcoming features might include:

1. real time tablature generation, either of your own playing or of some audio files
   • conversely, it might also be possible to compare the accuracy of your playing to a given tablature
2. chord detection
3. intervallic fretboard navigation exercises
4. music theory component that include scale, arpeggio or chord exercises

None of these ideas have exactly laid-out implementation plans as of yet.
