This is a music application coded in VS2019 Community (VB) that allows the user to select a key and mode and build chords around it. It automatically generates guitar tablature and shows a graphical display of both a guitar and keyboard with the appropriate notes highlighted. Coded for personal use, so the UI is a bit rough, and code creative.
