Hello Rusty,

There are several options:
* Guitarix gxtuner LV2 plugin which does audio to MIDI
* Rakarrack can do audio to MIDI
* There are Puredata patches that can accomplish this too

These alternatives don't determine what chords you play though, at best 
they can determine separate notes.

Regards,

Jeremy
