  So if, like me, you get frustrated when a song comes on YouTube that you just Have to play along with, and you don’t know how to play it...then this app is for you !  No having to pause the song / having to listen to it twice whilst you find a good chord sheet for it...now just hit a button and the chords instantly pop up !  Be it the song you are currently listening to - or a whole play list of hundreds of songs !
