Get Guitar Chords For Any Song
Finding guitar chord tabs for your favourite songs can be a real pain. We wanted to make it as simple as choosing a song from your own music collection. Load any mp3 and Riffstation figures out the chords for you!

Chord Diagrams Synced With Your Music
Riffstation even shows you how and when to play each guitar chord synced with the original music. It's guitar hero for real guitar players! Our chord recognition technology will automatically calculate the chord accompaniment for any song in your music collection. It can detect Major, Minor and 7th chords with a high degree of accuracy. The accuracy is approximately 85% for basic rock and pop.

Change Key and Practice at Your Own Speed
Have you ever tried to learn or practice a song only to find it's in a key you don't know? Perhaps you like to sing too and you'd prefer to learn the song in a different key than the original recording. Wouldn't it be great to listen and learn a song from your music collection in a key that suits you? You can! With the pitch tool you can transpose by up to 12 semi-tones up or down in semi-tone increments. Perhaps you're a beginner and still strunggling to keep up with your favourite song? Our slow down tool works with the chord viewer tool so you can hear the music at a slower speed and the chords remain in sync!

Slow Down Guitar Riffs or Solos
Have you ever tried to learn a guitar solo or a riff that was just too fast to hear? Or maybe you want to build your speed or improve your technique and you'd like to practice scales and exercises at different speeds? Perhaps you're a beginner and still strunggling to keep up with your favourite song? Wouldn't it be great to have an app that lets you slow down your MP3s? Riffstation is the solution. Our amazing slow down tool lets you slow down or speed up any song in your music collection without affecting the pitch. You can slow down as much as half speed, or speed up to double speed and everywhere in between. Our high quality time stretching algorithm ensures that the pitch and quality of the sound remain unaffected. Now you can learn and practice at your own speed.

Isolate the Guitar and Learn From the Masters
Have you ever listened to a cool riff or solo and thought, I wish I could hear the guitar on it's own? With the Isolate tool in Riffstation, now you can! This awesome tool lets you find the guitar in the mix, and extract it right out so you can hear it in isolation.

Mute the Guitar and Play With Your Favorite Bands
If you want to be the guitar hero, you can mute the guitar in the mix and take the spotlight! You're probably thinking - is this even possible? Our patented guitar isolation technology makes it possible. It doesn't work on every song but when it does it's awesome.


Have you ever sat down to learn or practice a song only to find it's tuned a half step down? Perhaps you like to sing too and you'd prefer to learn the song in a different key than the original recording. Guess what? We've got a tool for that too. With the pitch tool you can transpose by up to 12 semi-tones up or down in semi-tone increments without affecting tempo

Retune the Song - Not Your Guitar
For the out of tune recordings, you can fine tune in cents! Now you can retune the song instead of the guitar. As usual, you can use or pitch tool with all the other Riffstation tools too. The pitch tool even syncs with the chord display!


Loop Riffs With Perfect Timing
The tools above are all really useful for any guitar player and you'll probably use them regularly but one of the most useful tools in Riffstation is the loop tool. Almost all audio software has a loop tool but not like this. We use automatic beat tracking to ensure that you can select any number of beats and the loop will lock perfectly and seamlessly to these beats. There's also a metronome tool which is especially useful if you are slowing down music but it doesn't end here. Wait until you see the chord viewer tool!

Transcribe Guitar Parts Easily
It’s pretty easy to see how useful it can be to isolate and slow down guitar solos for learning and practice but it’s also very useful software for transcribing guitar parts and other instruments too. Maybe you need to transcribe a guitar part for your own band? Perhaps you’re a guitar teacher preparing transcriptions for lessons? Riffstation speeds up the transcription process... by slowing it down.

Build new Riffs or Make Practice Loops
This tool gives you the power to create brand new riffs from the original audio from your favourite songs for you to jam with. Any track you load is automatically indexed into individual beats. You can place any beat from the song into any beat of your new jam sequence in any order, allowing you to make brand new riffs with exactly the same sound as the track you loaded. You can finally have AC/DC as your backing band! Riffstation will seamlessly and automatically blend the various beats together to create your new riff in real-time. You can change the pitch of any beat to create completely different melodies and riffs. Now you can have your favourite bands playing riffs of your own creation!

I am on my cell where cannot listen, but it looks like a guitar chord extractor from any music audio. Rather cheap too, so wanted to add a quick comment here to check it out later. There are a lot of YouTube vids for it, just never heard of it before. Thanks for the heads up Rimshot.

For $23.32 (half price), this is rather cool. Probably an impending update, but still rather neat. Already found a handful of bugs, but the main features are nice.
 
As I began stress testing this out, I started opening up songs with non-conventional chord voicings and got to "Bad to the Bone"... the song opens, "calculating chords..." and then gives the program a fatal heart attack each time for me. It gave me a chuckle just because of the song title... can anyone open this song in it? (As the program defaults to either open chord or power chord, this may simply be a limitation of the algorithm.)

It can be quite useful for finding chords and isolating leads...
 
To me, at this price, it's a no-brainer....

This is a stellar example of why it's valuable to visit the forum!

Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

I'm more inclined to just Google the song title + "chords"
 
But that's me, a committed cheapskate.

It will change keys, control tempo, and even let you reduce the center frequency so you can jam out a solo to the track. It supports different audio file formats and has looping function.  Really cool!

@Rimshot
 
Mr.Saad, I'm writing a book on the cult B-movies of the eighties. I'd be happy to interview you on Vicious Lips. I have a detailed and more in depth message of presentation for you, but I can't send PM yet here (I have just created my account on Cakewalk). Thank you.
