Fender Riffstation?

[PaulKay]

Anyone else use the Fender Riffstation app? I use it to learn new cover songs.
Fender disabled it recently and sent a note to subscribers that it had an issue with royalty rights to rebroadcast videos already on the internet. Apparently the royalty powers that be find it unacceptable to rebroadcast youtube video along with the chords of the song. At least without paying. Something tells me Fender will be forced to require a subscription fee before it re-enables the app.so a pound of flesh can be extracted. Yet it seems to me that Youtube is already paying some fees already.

I've never used Riffstation. I do use other tools to accomplish that end but haven't tried the Fender tool.

And of course my record sales have never been high enough to make it worthwhile to record a cover of someone else's hit.

Check out iReal Pro, Paul. It’s a mobile tool that allows you to download or create lead sheets, and play them. Basic drum, guitar, bass arrangements.

That looks like band-in-box moved to app format.

Riffstation does the chord analysis automatically and streams the video with those chords underneath. Powerful and extremely simlple.

Don’t know if chordify.com is still working but it is basically the same thing.
