The shed for serious players. No tabs. Trust your ear. If you've been playing for a few years and hit a wall, running the same licks, stuck in the same positions, playing it safe, FretShed is built for you. Solo generator, recorder, ear tuner, metronome. The everyday-carry practice app for guitarists who mean it. HOW IT WORKS Choose your genre. Hit generate. A fresh solo plays over a backing track. Your job is to listen, absorb, and figure it out by ear. No tab to follow. No video to pause. No notation to read. Just you, your guitar, and material you've never heard before. WHY IT WORKS Most guitarists plateau because they've learned shapes, not sound. They can execute what they see but can't hear what they want to play. FretShed flips that. Every session builds the connection between your ears and your hands. The more unfamiliar material you absorb, the bigger your musical vocabulary gets. That's how plateaus break. BUILT FOR SERIOUS PLAYERS FretShed is 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 GENERATOR - 5 genres: rock, blues, jazz, metal, funk - 30 second solos with full backing tracks - A-B looping to isolate and repeat any section - Speed control with pitch preservation. Slow it down without changing pitch - A new solo every time. Every session different THE TOOLKIT - Recorder. Capture a phrase you want to work out, or a take of your own playing. Loop it, slow it down, shed it the same way you would a generated solo. - Ear tuner. Digital reference tones for standard, flat standard, drop D, DADGAD and more. No needle, no meter. Tune by ear. - Metronome. Set the tempo and lock in. YOUR LIBRARY TRAVELS Every solo you generate and every take you record syncs through iCloud. Start something on your iPhone and work it on your iPad. Stars, names, and loop points come with it. The recorder, ear tuner, and metronome are free. A subscription unlocks the solo generator and iCloud library sync. The shed is always open.

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.

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.
