BanjoChords app for iPhoneWe got a note yesterday from Charles Dumont, who develops music applications for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch devices.

We posted last fall when he released his MandoChords app, a visual chord speller for mandolin. Now, he notes the release of a new iPhone app, BanjoChords, which does the same for banjo players.

BanjoChords can display more than 700 chord shapes for banjo, showing left hand fingering, scale intervals, and multiple voicings. It will even play the chord for you through the iPhone’s speaker.

The app sells for $1.99 and will work with with iPhone and iPod touch (iPhone 2.2.1 software), and can be purchased in iTunes.
