Chords in. Scales out.
Play the chords of any song. JamWise shows you which scales to solo over each one, on piano and guitar.
Demo, no sound: a loop through Am7, Dm7, G7 and Cmaj7. Each chord lights its notes on a piano, with the root in gold, and lists the scales that fit it. For Am7 those are A minor pentatonic, A Dorian and A Aeolian.
