How to teach your computer to play guitar
A program that can read guitar sheets and understands how to play them on a real guitar.
As a guitarist, I’ve always been fascinated by chords and their infinite variations. In this talk, we’ll see how we can build a program that reads a chord sheet, understands chords on a deeper level and finds ergonomic ways to play them on a real guitar. We will do this using a simple parser using Elm and show how much more powerful it is compared to a good old regular expression. Then, we’ll see what it takes to teach our program how to play the ukulele. By the end of the talk, you will have learned more of both music theory and functional programming!
