There are even chords available for songs that don’t have guitars in them Any videos you film are saved to your phone’s camera roll. You can even try to sing along with the lyrics if you’re feeling particularly confident. Once you’re feeling confident enough, the app then lets you record yourself playing a song using your phone’s front-facing camera while you read the song’s chords off the screen. Meanwhile, if you want to play along with the actual songs, then you’ll need to have an Apple Music subscription. By default, the app plays an auto-generated bass line and drum track as a backing track, but you can strip this back to just drums or a metronome if you prefer. You can then scroll through and learn its chords at your own pace, or press play to have the song show you the chords in real time. The app is organized a lot like a music streaming service, except that once you’ve found a song you want to play along with, you’ll also find its lyrics and chords. “People are interested in learning songs that are familiar to them, not what they find by searching Google,” Kaplan says. Look up your favorite single, and you’ll find that the app includes chords for the rest of the album for good measure. Fender’s aim is to have a library of chords that’s big enough so that you can reliably find a song that you’re already interested in, rather than picking based on which song has the best user-submitted chords on one of the free services available around the web. “This app’s really aimed at any guitar player who wants to learn how to play songs that they know,” Fender’s chief technology officer Ethan Kaplan told me in an interview. “People are interested in learning songs that are familiar to them, not what they find by searching Google”
