How Indie Chord Lab Works

Upload your loop or verse → Get chord inspiration → Finish your song

The Ear

Powered by the same tech Spotify uses. We hear every individual note in your complex riffs — fingerpicking, jazz chords, layered harmonies. If you can play it, we analyze it.

The Brain

Not random chord suggestions. Our AI acts like a seasoned session musician — using voice leading, tension, and release to lift your song exactly where it needs it.

The Voice

Lyrics that don't suck. Use our Vibe Slider to go from "Raw & Human" (imperfect rhymes, storytelling) to "Polished Producer" (pop hooks, anthemic themes). You're the editor.

🎸 Your AI Bandmate Is Ready

The session musician, lyricist, and producer you've always wanted in your band.
Works for pennies. Never misses rehearsal. Zero ego.

I was testing the app out on a flight from Dallas to Seattle and used inflight WiFi to use Indie Chord Lab. I had the intro loop already but wanted some interesting changes in the song. I found the chorus recommendation and bridge that fit the direction I wanted to go with the song perfectly. I'll definitely be using this for future projects!
