EnglishWhat Is the All Guitar Chords and Scales Dictionary on WarlockGuitar?
Updated
The All Guitar Chords and Scales Dictionary is a beta web app on WarlockGuitar.com that lets you look up guitar chords and scales, see how they're played, and hear how they sound. It's listed on the site as "best used on Desktop," so treat it as a desktop-first reference tool rather than a polished mobile app. Because it's labeled beta and described as something being built over time, expect the content and interface to change as it develops.
What the tool does
Based on the site's own description, the dictionary is designed around two things:
- Seeing chords and scales — visual references for how chords and scales are played on the guitar.
- Hearing chords — the site explicitly says you can "see and hear guitar chords," so audio playback is part of the intended experience.
The site frames it as an app that's actively being built ("Watch as I build the app!"), which tells you two things: it's a work in progress, and updates are expected rather than a finished, frozen product.
How it fits into the rest of the site
WarlockGuitar's main offering is free guitar lessons delivered as written articles with hand-crafted diagrams, guitar tabs, and downloadable PDF ebooks — the site deliberately avoids video lessons. The chords and scales dictionary sits alongside that lesson content as a lookup and practice companion rather than a standalone course.
That distinction matters for how you use it:
| If you want to… | Use… |
|---|---|
| Learn a concept step by step | The written lessons |
| Look up a specific chord or scale | The dictionary app |
| Hear how a chord sounds | The dictionary app (audio playback) |
| Practice away from a screen | The downloadable PDF ebooks |
How to use it
- Open it on a desktop computer. The site states it's best used on desktop, so start there rather than on a phone.
- Pick the chord or scale you want to look up. The app is organized as a dictionary, so you're looking up specific entries rather than following a linear lesson.
- Read the visual reference. Use the on-screen diagram to see where your fingers go.
- Play the audio. Listen to the chord to check your ear against what you're playing.
- Cross-reference with the lessons. If a chord or scale shows up in a lesson article, the dictionary is the place to get the isolated reference for it.
Things to keep in mind
- It's beta. The site labels it as beta, so some entries, features, or audio may be incomplete or change without notice.
- Desktop first. Mobile use isn't described as supported or optimized — the site's own guidance points you to desktop.
- No pricing information is given. The site describes its lessons as free, but the page evidence doesn't state terms for the dictionary app specifically, so don't assume anything beyond what's stated.
- It's a reference, not a curriculum. The dictionary helps you look things up; the lesson articles are where the structured learning happens.
If your goal is to learn songs and technique from scratch, start with the written lessons and keep the dictionary open in another tab for chord and scale lookups as they come up. If your goal is simply to check how a chord is fingered or how it sounds, the dictionary is the more direct tool.
