Intructions

Use the tab bar at the bottom of the screen to navigate through the app.

The “Play” tab is where most of the action takes place. From here you can select a song, create a new song, edit the chords in the song, set tempo and key for the song, and control audio playback.

To select a song, tap the “Select Song” button at the bottom of the screen. The Song Selector (above) gives you a list of songs to choose from. When you create new songs, they will appear in this list.

To create a new song, tap on the “Create Song” button at the bottom of the screen. Enter the new song title, and the number of measures you would like. Make sure the new song title is not blank, and that there is not already a song by the same name.

Your new song will show up on the screen after you tap the “Enter” button. At first, your song is given default chord changes that you must edit. To edit each chord, just double-tap on it, and enter the new chord information in the Chord Selector.

The Chord Selector allows you to edit the Root note of the chord, the type of chord, and a tension note. Tap the “Save” button at the top of the screen to save changes, or tap “Exit” to cancel.

Before starting up the band, select a musical style from the “Styles” screen, by tapping on the “Styles” tab at the bottom of the screen. Then return to the “Play” tab, select tempo and key from the sliders at the top of the screen, and press play (bottom-right) to start the music. Press stop to stop playing.

Tap on the “Tuner” tab to bring up the tuner. The tuner is to tune your instrument to the app.

Additional help is available by tapping the “Info” tab.
