#7thchordgen A small C program to help you learn jazz chords.

##Instructions

1. Run the program and press enter.
2. You will be told to play a random chord (e.g. a Cmin7 with the bass on the 5th string).
3. Press enter after you play the chord and the program will output a solution (a chord diagram) in ASCII.

##The chords The chords you are required to play have three variables:

• the base (tonique) (all twelve notes from A to G with semi-tones)
• the string in which the bass (tonique) has to be played (3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th string)
• and the chord itself, the choices are the following:
  • Maj7
  • 7
  • m7 (-7)
  • m7b5
  • diminished/diminué (°)

##The Diagrams The diagrams will be displayed as an ASCII output, such as this one :

  ||||||
  ||*-*|
10+||*||
  ||||||
  ||||||

This is a Dm7b5. the fret where the chord should be placed always appears in the center, on the same fret as the "+" token which is the char used to represent the base (tonique) of the chord. If there is a "-" between two " * ", it means you have to perform a bar with one finger between the two star.
