What's New in WoodShed Music

1.10.0

August 27, 2026

A click that follows your song. You asked for a click you can actually practice to — not a metronome you line up by hand, but one that sits in the tune's own time. Switch it on and it counts through the track with you, from the first bar. Front of House. Every volume in one place: the original recording, each separated part, the click and the chord play-along, all on one desk. Slide the real track in against the stems to hear what a part is doing, solo anything, and mute whatever you want to play yourself. Three guitars. The playable neck now comes as nylon, steel-string and electric, each with its own voice — and each string sounds its own note, so a run up the neck is a run and not a chord. Pop or Jazz, chosen per song. Chord detection now asks what kind of tune it's about to read. A worship song was coming back full of sevenths nobody played; pick Pop and it reads the tune in front of it. This replaces the old Simplify setting — how a chart reads is decided when you detect it now, not afterwards. The music keeps playing. Leave WoodShed or lock the screen and the track keeps going, with play, pause and skip where you'd expect them. A song can be in more than one key. Tunes that modulate now read as more than one key, so the numbers stay right after the change. Songs you detected before this need one re-detect to see it. A new shelf for the tools. The metronome, tuner, guitar and Speed Trainer are four printed tickets now — pick one up and go. The small readouts and dials that sat on the old rack are gone; each tool has them inside. Smaller things: chord diagrams number your fingers instead of the intervals now (Settings switches it back), the Library's Add button moved up to the toolbar, markers delete the way they should, and dragging the playhead with Auto-Strum on no longer fires every chord it passes.

Everything I’ve been looking for!

I’ve been searching for an app that slows down songs in order to learn jazz guitar solos. This one not only does that perfectly but also has excellent isolation capabilities. Every time I use it I find another useful feature that I can use.
I’ve tried quite a few similar apps but this one is by far the best and easiest to use! Hats off to the developer!

Great for Musicians, Students and Teachers!

I’ve been a professional musician and educator for the last quarter of a century and just started using this app in the last couple of weeks and without exaggeration it has fundamentally changed the playing field! I grew up using a metronome, a very famous brand of book with CD, and have tried every practice tool under the sun including similar apps, but I’ve never been more excited to hit the Woodshed (clever name) as I am now. In a single app I can do the following.

1. Change tempo in increments of 1% manually without it getting distorted like on Youtube.
2. Change keys, so if I want to have a backing track for ANY tune playing in ANY key it can do it with just the click of a button. This makes shedding phrases or entire songs in 12 keys a breeze.
3. Detect full 7th chords (No other app does this for some reason)
4. Create editable charts from said chords if you want a lead sheet, and if for some reason the app detects it wrong or you didn’t like a reharm the pianist did you can always override it.
5. Loop, cut and paste the track. This could be helpful for composers, but for me it let’s me repeat a bridge on an AABA tune a few times for every chorus.
6. Use a "speed trainer" that can increase the tempo from a given percentage after a select numbers of repeats either in the song, a loop or in the built in metronome. I literally was transcribing a solo this week, set it to 60% tempo where I could hang after learning the whole thing and then just set it to loop and increase tempo 2% every three repeats. Gone are the days of having to use the forward and back arrows on my audio player and manually having to change tempos on YouTube in 5% increments! Did I mention, it seems not to distort at all?!?
7. Isolate each instrument into a separate track so you can hear only the one instrument you're trying to learn by ear OR remove a single instrument to play along with the rest of the band.
8. Record yourself with the backing track. This is going to be INCREDIBLY useful for getting my students’ All State and college audition materials. 9. It also has a built-in tuner, cool bonus!

The last thing I wanted to note is that I provided them some feedback about being able to save the changes I made to a track, specifically the key, and they already made that update happen!
I’d give this app 10/5 stars if I could!
