A solo when you need one. A better player after. Pick the genre, the key and the tempo. FretShed generates a fresh solo over a backing track. You work it out by ear and make it yours. No tabs. No notation. If you can see it, you're reading it, not hearing it. Work it out by ear and it stays in your hands. THE GIG IS FRIDAY The song needs a solo. You don't have one yet. Set the key and tempo, generate a solo and use it as your starting point. Learn it, change the feel, extend the ending. Make it fit. STUCK ON THE SAME LICKS Your ear needs unfamiliar material to grow. Every solo is generated fresh. Every one you work out adds to your vocabulary. BUILT FOR THE SHED - Rock, blues, jazz, metal and funk - Loop any phrase and sit with it until your ear locks in - Slow it down to 50% without changing the pitch - Recorder, metronome and ear tuner, free - Your solos and recordings on iPhone, iPad and Mac WHERE THE SOLOS COME FROM FretShed uses AI to generate solos. That is where its job ends. Working it out, getting it under your fingers and making it fit your playing is on you. NOT FOR BEGINNERS There are no lessons, no gamification, no badges. If you know what shedding means, you already know what this app is about. The shed is always open. SUBSCRIPTION The recorder, metronome and ear tuner are free.

The loop keeps playing. NEW ICON FretShed has a new icon. THE LOOP KEEPS PLAYING Turn the loop back on while the playhead is past the right handle and playback jumps to the left handle and carries on. Before, it could go silent while the button still showed playing. WHERE THE SOLOS COME FROM The About screen now says where the solos come from: FretShed uses AI to generate them, and the rest is on you. Error messages are clearer too. The shed is always open. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-09-24 Move the handle. The loop follows. THE LOOP KEEPS UP Pause, move the right loop handle, play. The loop now turns around at the new point, not the old one. Same when you drag the handle further out while a solo is playing. The shed is always open. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-16 Snap to the bar. Snap to the phrase. LOOP WHAT THE MUSIC IS DOING FretShed now hears where the bars and phrases fall in every solo. Flip the loop switch and a Snap row appears under the scrubber. Choose Bar and the loop handles land on bar lines. Choose Phrase and they land where a phrase starts and ends. Tick marks on the scrubber show you where the boundaries are. Bracket a phrase in one drag. No more nudging a handle back and forth to find the downbeat. Off keeps the loop free, exactly as before. Each solo remembers the setting you picked. Snap needs iOS 27. On earlier versions the loop stays free. KEEP YOUR PLACE Flip the loop switch while a solo plays and playback holds its position instead of jumping. Plus fixes for resized windows on iPhone Mirroring and iPad. The shed is always open. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-17 The shed travels with you. EVERY SOLO, EVERY TAKE, ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Generate a solo on your iPhone and pick it up on your iPad. Your library syncs through iCloud, audio and all. Nothing to export, nothing to move by hand. Stars, names, and loop points travel with each solo. Bracket a phrase on one device and the loop is set on the other. Pull down on the library to sync on demand. A solo from another device appears in the list while its audio is still on the way, and plays the moment it lands. iCloud library sync comes with the subscription. THE METRONOME TRAVELS TOO Tempo, time signature, subdivision, and accents follow you from device to device. SORT IT YOUR WAY Sort the library by key, genre, or duration, on top of date, title, tempo, and kind. Plus reliability fixes and polish across the app. The shed is always open. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-08 Less setup, more shedding. FIND IT, STAR IT, SHED IT Take charge of the solos and recordings you've stacked up. Star the ones you're working through so your current work is always close. Rename a take to whatever you'll remember. Search by name, filter by genre, key, or tempo, and sort the list however you think. Your stars, filters, and sort hold across launches. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Close FretShed and open it again to find it the way you left it. The tab you were on, the solo in the now-playing bar, and the open player all come back. HANDS-FREE Drive FretShed with Siri or a long-press on the home-screen icon. - "Tune guitar with FretShed" - "Start the metronome in FretShed" - "Record with FretShed" - "Play my last solo in FretShed" - "Play my last recording in FretShed" THE METRONOME REMEMBERS Tempo, time signature, subdivision, and accents are right where you left them. Plus reliability fixes and polish across the app. The shed is always open. ## Apps similar to FretShed | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Chord Invaders](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chord-invaders/id6771198820) | — | Free | Music | | [Hark: Ear Training](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hark-ear-training/id6809023239) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Music | | [GalileoTuner](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/galileotuner/id1048631075) | — | Free | Music | | [LoFi Jazz Generator](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lofi-jazz-generator/id6763470071) | — | Free | Music | | [43 Electro Swing: Jazz Band](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/43-electro-swing-jazz-band/id6812345283) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Music | | [Instant Backing Track](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/instant-backing-track/id6758922036) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Music | ## More apps by Decibel Technologies Limited - [Truuu: General Knowledge Quiz](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/truuu-general-knowledge-quiz/id6450432523) - [SongSnap: Guess the Song Game](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/songsnap-guess-the-song-game/id6479874343) All apps by Decibel Technologies Limited: https://appshunter.io/developer/1693279333 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
