About Bard: Guitar Songwriting
Have a guitar and a voice? Ever written a song? With Bard, you can write your first song in your first session. Learn your own music, instead of only ever singing the songs of others. Write wherever and learn to play your own songs at home. BARD TAKES OVER THE GRUNT WORK Bard lets you focus on the expression and takes over the admin — transposing keys and sliding capos, finding chords in the key and shapes for all of them, organising your takes, lyrics, and chords. What's left is shaping your sound, whether you want to start from some chords, from a melody, or by tweaking a sketch that we generate using music theory (no AI). BARD ENABLES YOU Bard is not just for writing simple strumming songs — Bard was built precisely to help you find rich embellishments for your chords, by showing you how the chord sits in the key. BARD TEACHES YOU With Bard, you'll learn how you like to relate melodies to chords, where in your vocal range you feel most comfortable, what kind of patterns you tend towards — in a way that you can understand and deviate from intentionally. YOUR SONGS ARE YOURS Your songs and your recordings live on the device, and recorded audio or lyrics you wrote never leave it. FEATURES Guitar and ukulele · more than thirty strumming and picking patterns · auto-tune and reverb · chord extensions · PDF, text, and audio export · lyric ideas when you want them. BARD PRO Writing is free and unmetered: sing a melody and get chords, the neck and its shapes, every tuning, every pattern, your takes and their playback, and the lyrics you type. A free song runs to a verse and a chorus, ten songs are kept, and ten sketches a week are generated. Bard Pro is $19.99 a year: whole songs, as many of them as you want, unlimited sketches, and export. Payment is charged to your Apple Account, renews yearly until cancelled, and can be cancelled any time in Settings.
