Features
- Tools menu chord generator dialog.
- Editor toolbar entry point.
- Batch chord input with validation and preview navigation.
- Built-in common chord voicings for standard tuning.
- Offline SVG fretboard diagrams.
- Offline physical-model WAV synthesis for realistic strummed chord audio.
- Optional external 44.1 kHz WAV sample banks for recorded strummed chord audio.
- Selectable primary strum speed plus a separate note-by-note slow recording.
- Speed-specific custom playback icons on generated Anki cards.
- Configurable destination deck and managed
Guitarist Chordnote type.
Supported Chords
Major, minor, dominant seventh, major seventh, minor seventh, suspended fourth, and power chords are supported with common open voicings and movable E/A-shape voicings.
Examples:
C, Am, F#, Bb7, Gmaj7, Dsus4
Installation
Guitarist has been tested with Anki 24.06.2.
- Download the
.ankiaddonfile from the latest GitHub release. - Open the downloaded file with Anki and confirm the installation.
- Restart Anki, then select Tools > Guitarist Chord Generator.
Enter one chord or paste a comma- or line-separated batch, preview the generated
voicings, and choose Add Card. The Options tab lets you select the destination
deck and control what happens to the input after notes are created. Advanced
defaults, including the managed note type name, are documented in config.md.
External recordings are not bundled; configure sampleBankPath to use a local
sample bank and leave it blank to use Guitarist's built-in synthesizer.
Development
Run the tests:
python3 -m unittest
Install the working tree into Anki:
scripts/install_dev.sh
Restart Anki after copying files into addons21.
Build the distributable add-on package:
scripts/build_addon.sh
The package is written to dist/ with its version read from pyproject.toml.
For faster Python-only iteration, start Anki with the development reload action:
GUITARIST_DEV_RELOAD=1 anki
This adds Tools > Reload Guitarist Add-on, which reloads the add-on modules and opens a fresh generator dialog. Restart Anki for hook registration, startup, or already-constructed Qt widget changes that do not refresh cleanly.
