## What is ApproachNote?

Every tune has been played a hundred ways. ApproachNote helps you hear them. When you're learning a standard, the first question is always: how have players come at this before? ApproachNote puts every approach in one place — search a tune and pull up the releases that recorded it, with full track listings, artist credits, cover art, and direct links to stream many recordings, where available. Listen to how a dozen players phrased the same melody. Trace who played on what. Follow the thread from one interpretation to the next until you find the approach that's yours.
* Search a tune and find every release that recorded it
* Full track listings, credits, and cover art
* One-tap streaming links to hear each recording, where available
* Explore artists and the players behind them
* Built for the woodshed — fast, clean, no clutter

Before you decide how you'll play it, hear how it's been played. That's ApproachNote.

ApproachNote is free for the next 60 days–try it out!
