How To
Learn Songs with Chord Track
Generate synced chords and study songs with notation, transpose, and capo controls
Use Chord Track in Youka Online to study chord progressions while the song plays.
What You Can Do
With Chord Track, you can:
- Generate synced chords from your song
- View chords in Inline or Grid mode
- Switch notation style (Pop, Jazz, Nashville, Maj/Min)
- Adjust Transpose and Capo for easier practice
Open Chord Track
- Open your project in the Studio
- Click the Layout panel
- Set Layout Type to Chords
Generate Chords
- In the Chord Track card, click Generate Chords
- Wait for processing to finish
- Confirm the detected song key shown in the panel
Generation time depends on song length and queue load.
Configure Chord Display
After generation, tune the view for your practice style.
Display Mode
- Inline — Chords appear above lyrics timing
- Grid — Chords appear in a dedicated grid for easier scanning
Notation
Choose the chord naming style you prefer:
- Pop (Complex / Simple / Basic)
- Jazz (Complex / Simple / Basic)
- Nashville (Complex / Simple / Basic)
- Maj/Min
Transpose and Capo
- Transpose shifts chord shapes up or down semitones
- Capo applies capo position for guitar-oriented practice
Use both controls to find the easiest playable version of a song.
Suggested Practice Routine
- Run through the full song once to identify hard sections
- Repeat only those sections with slower playback
- Try 2-3 transpose values and pick your best key
- Rehearse from start to finish without stopping
This keeps sessions focused and fun while improving retention.
Tips
- Start with a simpler notation variant if chords feel too dense
- Use Grid mode for harmonic analysis and chart-style practice
- Use Inline mode when you want chord + lyric phrasing together
- Revisit generated chords after changing arrangement settings
