## What is RiffReady?

You know the song. You've known it for years. You just can't play it.

RiffReady turns a song into a practice pack — the chords, in time, right above the lyrics. No tab sites. No guessing. No wading through five wrong versions to find the one that sounds like the record.

Upload any song, and in seconds you're playing it.


HOW IT WORKS

Bring a song in from your music library, your files, a voice memo, or a video on your phone. We listen to it and work out the chords, the tempo, the key, and where the sections change.

You get the chords laid over the lyrics, moving in time as the song plays. A chord card shows the shape you're on and the one that's coming. Set a capo, slow it down, and play along until it sticks.


WHAT'S IN A PRACTICE PACK

- Chords over lyrics, synced to the recording
- Chord diagrams — the shape for your hands, not just a letter
- A chord strip that shows what's coming next
- Capo dial, detected automatically and adjustable to suit you
- Tempo control slider
- A printable cheat sheet
- Separated tracks: mute the guitar and play the part yourself


A TUNER, FREE

Chromatic tuner with reference tones and preset tunings — standard, drop D, half-step down, open G and more. Free for everyone.


WHAT TO PLAY NEXT

Finish a song and we'll suggest three more you can already mostly play. Same chords, same feel, one new shape to learn. The second song is the one that keeps you playing.


WORKS FOR ANYTHING

There's no catalogue to search here, and that's the point. Album tracks, live versions, obscure B-sides, your own recordings, songs nobody has ever written a tab for — if you can play us the audio, we can give you the chords.

You'll need the audio on your device, and it should be music you have the right to use.


PRICING

Free — three songs, everything included.
RiffReady Pro — A$8.99/month or A$69/year: 20 songs a month.


HONESTLY

Chord detection is very good. It isn't perfect. If we get one wrong, hold down the chord and tell us — and we'll fix it.

Made in Australia by a guitar teacher who wanted this to exist when he was a kid, learning to play his guitar.
