Barre None help

Guitar chord tools: help center

Find chords that work together, make a song easier to play, and take a prepared set to rehearsal. These illustrated guides explain every Barre None feature with practical steps and examples you can try on your guitar.

Start with something you want to play

Use Key to explore chords, Songs to work on a chord sheet, Practice to rehearse, and Perform to prepare a set. Open More for the full tool list. Setup holds your instrument tuning, capo, handedness, and diagram preferences.

  1. Match Setup to your guitar before interpreting a fingering or capo recommendation.
  2. Try a sample song, or build a C–Am–F–G progression.
  3. Press Play, start at a comfortable tempo, and practice the changes.

Tool pages have a “How to use” panel. Question-mark buttons explain a nearby musical term or control, and link to a full guide when you need more detail.

Find a feature guide

Each guide includes setup steps, a screenshot, a worked example, and answers to common problems.

Quick answers

Install and use offline

Open Barre None online first and use Install or Add to Home Screen if your browser offers it. Core tools become available after the app finishes caching. Open the specific guide, song, or pack you need and test it offline before relying on it; installing the app does not download every guide or recording.

Audio and microphone permissions

Press a play control to start sound. If it is disabled, turn Sound off back on in the header. Check your device volume and output. The tuner and microphone exercises listen only after you start them; they analyze audio on your device. If access is blocked, allow the microphone in browser site settings and reload.

Saved data, backups and moving devices

Saved work starts in this browser. In Account → Your data, export a backup before clearing site data or moving devices. Restoring a backup replaces the supported saved library after confirmation. Optional sync and the preview-first Import workflow are separate tools with different effects.

Printing and export

Use the print or export control in your progression, song, worksheet, or set list. Print views remove app controls. To make a PDF, choose Save as PDF in the browser’s print dialog when available. Check the preview for clipped lyrics or diagrams before printing.

Band workspaces

A Pro owner publishes a deliberate copy of a rehearsal set. Invited viewers can read the shared copy without access to the owner’s private library. Pin the current revision while online for rehearsal and recheck it when the band publishes an update.

Teacher Studio and assignments

Teachers use aliases to publish assignments. Students review their results before choosing Submit to teacher; local practice is not automatically sent. The teacher and student guides explain the two sides of the handoff.

Performance control and pedals

Build your running order in Set lists, then use Prepare show & Perform. Review offline readiness, tonight’s keys, and capo changes before going on stage. Test keyboard-style pedals and device controls in advance, and keep a paper or standby copy.

Stage remote preview

Stage remote is a gated preview, not a generally available production feature. The local Stage Mode and keyboard-style pedal controls are the supported starting points. The set-list guide explains preparation and recovery without requiring a remote connection.

Practice programs and offline packs

Start with the complete free sample. Follow each lesson’s activity links, then record completion and notes. Eligible Pro packs have explicit downloads; finish and verify a pack while online before practicing without a connection.

Import and private rehearsal assets

Preview supported files, review duplicates and conflicts, download the rollback backup, and confirm permission before committing. PDF and image attachments remain references; importing them does not automatically transcribe their chords. Private cloud uploads require a separate explicit action.

Living charts and synchronized rehearsal

Play the original free sample to try a timed chart. Pro authoring lets you attach authorized audio, confirm section starts, refine line markers, and save loops. Playback starts only when you press Play; uncertain markers are identified for review.

Gigs and rehearsal events

Plan an event, collect availability, and freeze the reviewed set revision. Prepare show downloads that exact event and set. Changes to your working set do not silently change a published event, so prepare again when you accept a new revision.

Pro activation and recovery

Open Account to see the access and billing options available on this build. Free tools and samples remain available without Pro. If you already have access but a feature is locked, check the signed-in account and connection; export your local backup before clearing any browser data.
