Most ear-training apps drill you on the same fixed bank of exercises forever. Guess The Chords does something different: Premium members can submit their own songs, and those real progressions join the pool that every player — worldwide — trains and battles on.
How it works
Submit a track from the app (Premium members only — the Free plan doesn't include this one), and its chord progression gets folded into the shared training and PvP pool alongside every built-in progression. From that point on, other musicians around the world can run into your song mid-match without ever knowing whose it was — until they see the credit.
The moment it pays off
When a submitted progression comes up in a match, the app shows an attribution card right there on the screen: the song title, the artist, who submitted it, and buttons to listen on Spotify and YouTube. That's real, unpaid discovery in front of an audience that's about as engaged as it gets — these aren't passive listeners scrolling past, they're musicians who stopped what they were doing to actually work out your chords by ear.
Why it matters for training, too
It's not just nice for the submitter — it's better training for everyone else. A fixed textbook bank of progressions gets memorized fast. A pool that keeps absorbing real songs across jazz, bossa nova, pop, folklore, rock and classical stays alive: there's always something new to actually hear, not just recall.
If you're Premium, look for Submit Your Music in the app. If you're not sure yet, it's one of the clearest reasons musicians upgrade — free exposure to a room full of people who care exactly about the thing you wrote.
