As of right now, the chords you see are the correct chords when you hover over them with your pointer. I have to remember that if I want to verify the exact chord I intend to use I should check my work with Ultimate Guitars dictionary of chords first. The internet seems to be wrong about lots of things. I find it irritating when I look for a song and the transcriber has wrong chords, in wrong key, Capo on wrong fret, dropped D tuning instead of concert A 440 etc. I want to be the guy that people can count on when the visit Ultimateguitar.com
