Shazam like detection

Would it be useful to have something that detect our chord progressions and identifies existing songs on the web that sound like those chords? Then maybe even offer suggestions based on those results.

Good thinking, we have some thoughts on this too!

A relatively basic way to add something like this could be with the HookTheory API (or similar service) which has a massive database.

As it uses relative notation (scale degrees), it could also be possible to detect songs with the same chord progression regardless of what key it’s in.
