How Yalle Media writes, checks and corrects its chord sheets and articles, so you know what to expect from every page.
Who writes our chord sheets
Every chord sheet is published by a named member of the Yalle Media team, shown at the top of the song page with a link to their author page. You can see everyone who has worked on the site, and when, on our About page.
How a chord sheet is made
- From the recording. We work the chords out by ear from the original recording of the song and note the key it is recorded in.
- Chords over the words. Each chord sits over the word where it changes, in a fixed-width layout, so you can play straight from the page.
- Playing guide. Under each sheet we add the key, the main chord progression (as chord names, numbers and solfa), an easier capo position when there is one, and diagrams for every chord on guitar, ukulele and piano. These facts are worked out from the chords in the sheet itself.
- Checked before it goes live. A sheet is played through against the recording before it is published.
Accuracy and corrections
Many songs are played differently live, and there is often more than one good way to voice a chord. Our sheets aim to match the original recording. If you find a chord that is wrong, tell us through the contact page or leave a comment on the song. We check every correction against the recording, update the sheet, and the page then shows the date it was updated.
Duplicates and old pages
When a song is published twice, the older or better page is the main one and the other points to it. Pages that no longer belong on the site (for example old news posts) are removed.
Articles and tips
Our music tips are written by the team from our own experience of playing, recording and releasing music. We update older articles when the advice changes.
Songs and rights
The songs belong to their writers and publishers. Our chord sheets are for personal study and practice. If you own a song and want a page changed or removed, email contact@yallemedia.com and we will reply within two working days. See also our Terms of Use.
Advertising
Yalle Media is free to use and paid for by advertising. Ads never decide which songs we publish or what our sheets say, and they are always labelled.
