Hi Andy, what are you using to show the features of ireal pro? Desktop/Laptop? I've got it on my phone and laptop but the version is clunky and doesn't look like the one you're using? Best wishes Andy
Hey Andy - when watching jazz guitar comping, I often see progressions where only one or two notes change with others ‘anchoring’ and this happens repeatedly throughout the chord progression. It’s a really nice sound instead of changing wholesale to the next chord. Could you cover this a little? Thanks. I am a subscriber so I don’t know if I’m asking in the right place.
Thanks for this, Andy. I’ve been using it for a couple of months and fully agree with all your + and -ves (especially the massively annoying “paying again if you want it on a laptop as well as a phone” thing). I have a dumb question which I’ve not been able to find an answer to and maybe you can help - if I edit a chord in a tune from a playlist does that edit change it for everyone who has that playlist or does it just change for me? And if I save it with a new name is that new version public or private?
I agree with you about the negative aspects of IReal Pro, but for beginner/intemediate and even advanced musicians, the #1 thing that outweighs any criticisms you can make ---- it's cheap! For about $25 you get a one-time download with thousands of tunes. Obviously it doesn't sound as good as serious professional backing tracks, or playing live with other musicians ---- but as a practice tool I think it is fantastic. And another great benefit you didn't mention, for anyone seriously wanting to learn to sight read from a chart and vastly improve your reading and rhythm skills ---- IReal Pro is superb.
iReal Pro was introduced to me by a professor at school to practice soloing at home. I find it very useful for just that. I agree with everything you've said about the app especially when it comes to editing/creating your own charts. It's such a learning curve to figure all that out, especially on a mobile device. I can't say much for the desktop version because I don't own a Mac to know if that is anymore more user-friendly there. I think the app serves its main purpose well enough just to mimic playing with a band for practice on your own time. I still like it for that reason at least even though it definitely could use some improvements.
I think It's really good - a bit like a simplified version of Band-In-A-Box. For the cost of another pedal that you don't really need, BIAB is well worth having.
Great advice how . But I will ask how to do a sequens ower and ower in a number ! I have my IReal pro on my phone, but I don"t know how make these sequenses inside the number ? Thanks from Denmark

I'd love to know your thoughts on this app. Plus leave any tips you have that others might find useful. Cheers- Andy.
Negative #5: kudos for the Spinal Tap reference.
I was hoping someone would notice 😂
It’s fantastic for learning walking jazz bass! Thanks for your video.
Never thought of using it for that!

Hey Andy, it's the desktop version. Best wishes, A 🎸

Yes, that's how I often like to do things (depending on the song and musical context). I'll that to my list of ideas for videos!
@@jazzguitarwithandy thanks

It will be your own version and only change it for yourself, unless you decide to share it in the forum.
@@jazzguitarwithandy thanks very much!

You're right, it is cheap for what you get.

It's great having the ability to create your own tracks or edit existing ones!
In fairness if you long press a chord diagram it opens the chord library and you can select better chords.
True
I’m tending to use Band In a Box now at home. But might still use IReal pro at a jam if I don’t know the progression.
Thank you
You're welcome
i would add it's a good tool for students to improve their intonation (on upright bass, wind instruments and vocals etc.)
Great thought
is there any place to add lyrics above the chords?
There's a way to add text, but I have a feeling it would be clunky to try and add lyrics in and get it looking good.

Yes - it is like a simplified version of BIAB.
Hi, so biab is better? Which one should I get?
Great advice how . But I will ask how to do a sequens ower and ower in a number ! I have my IReal pro on my phone, but I don"t know how make these sequenses inside the number ? Thanks from Denmark
To repeat just a small section of a song?
Hi can you print the charts you make?
Yes
you can loop sections
How?
no WIndows version?
I think there is
Is there an Android version or similar app is my question on this?
