While there's been a plethora of homebrew guitar sims out on various platforms lately, some of you may want apps that cater to the more novice guitar player.

It's a good thing developer Michael Ventimiglia was able to whip up a small application which should help newbies practice their guitar playing skills sans the actual guitar.

Entitled "GuitarChords", this program for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch serves as an easy guide for users who want a quick reference for any of the standard guitar chords. In addition, it also features alternative chord positions which can be managed and customized to the user's liking.

Couple this with your favorite guitar sim application, then you've got the makings of a veritable rock god (theoretically speaking, of course). In any case, you can download GuitarChords 0.8 through iSpazio's repository at repo.ispazio.net. You can find GuitarChords by browsing through the Multimedia category of your Installer.app after adding the said repository into it. Enjoy!
