Cymbals overload

Love the app , just too much laying on the cymbals in every “ song “ exercise choice . Needs cymbals cut down like piano and other instruments . Then a 5 star for sure .

Standard-App für MusikerInnen, praktisch in vielerlei Hinsicht und jeden cent wert!

Fantastisch!

Ein großartiges Programm! Man kann wirklich alles damit machen! Ein kleiner Tipp von mir: wenn ein dominant Sept Akkord nach Dur geht, würde ich den C7 Akkord in C9 umbenennen. Geht ein G7, Akkord nach C Moll, würde ich den G7 Akkord in G7 b9 umbenennen. Dann gibt es noch die dominant Sept Akkorde die sich nicht eine Quinte nach unten auflösen. Diese würde ich gegen G 13 Akkorde austauschen. Ich hoffe das hilft. Tatsächlich klingt das alles dann zumindest für den Gebrauch von Jazz. Viel besser.
Ich hoffe, ich konnte helfen.

Fiddle learning skyrocketed

This is the best paid app ive ever used. I was learning traditional fiddle and bluegrass, and i was able to program the songs in and play along with to practice at all speeds. And i can hear when im out of tune. You can select styles like bluegrass and i have a basic banjo roll playong the chords
