What apps do you find helpful for playing or practice
Me
1. Strum Machine – plays background to bluegrass songs that you can play along to. Very simple to use and has tons of songs. Allows you to change key, tempo, and allows Auto-speedup. Great practice tool I use almost every day.
2. TuneFox – teaches you bluegrass tunes by advancing you from a simple version of the tune at low-speed to the full tune using both Tab and backing tracks. To me, this is a fun way to learn new tunes and make practicing more fun
3. Amazing Slow Downer/AnyTune Pro – Both of these allow you to slow a song while maintaining the same pitch. Which helps you learn songs by ear. I use ASD on my PC and it works OK, but recently started using Anytune Pro on my iPad and it is cheaper and has more features. For example, it provides a graphical representation of the music which makes it easier to create loops. It also can play direct from an iTunes library.
