How to generate chords from a YouTube link

Paste the link of the version you’re listening to. Choosing the right version helps you avoid practicing a different arrangement.

From recording to chord sheet in three steps

  1. Choose the version you want

    Use a video of the complete song. Medleys, piano tutorials and compilations can include sections unrelated to your version.

  2. Copy the link and open the generator

    Choose YouTube link on the home page, paste the address and start. If the video is restricted, try an accessible recording.

  3. Compare each section

    Check the intro, verses, choruses and ending. A live performance may change key or repeat sections.

The video is your reference for the arrangement

Versions can differ in lyrics, tempo and harmony. Check reused catalog lyrics against the chosen video. A video that plays can still have audio that the tool cannot analyze.

Check the title and artist on the video and listen to part of the chorus before generating.

SEE WHAT YOU GET

And make your own.

Check the lyrics and chords, adjust the key and organize songs for your next rehearsal.

  • Edit your version: fix words, chords and notes.

Questions about generating chord sheets

Can I use a live video?

Yes, if it is accessible. Noise, speech and improvisation can require corrections, and the key may differ from the studio version.

What if the link cannot be processed?

Check that the video plays, try another version, or upload a supported audio file.

Try it with a song you want to play

Open the generator, choose audio or YouTube, and review the result.
