GuitarPT

Practice your next favorite song at half speed, bar by bar. GuitarPT turns any track into your personal practice room.

Load an MP3, M4A or video file, and GuitarPT automatically detects BPM and chords — entirely on-device, no server, no internet required. Set markers, define loop sections, drop the tempo to 50%, transpose without pitch artifacts. Once the part sits, kick the speed back up. No setup, no fuss.

Need a chord chart? Build a leadsheet in the built-in editor using a gesture-driven circle-of-fifths key picker, a smart chord palette and a clean section layout. Play it back with piano, bass and drums across 8 styles — rock, jazz swing, bossa nova, funk and more. Or snap a photo of a handwritten chart and have it digitised via OCR.

On stage? Performance mode shows large chord displays with live highlighting of the current chord.

Multiple devices? With iCloud sync your songs, markers, leadsheets and setlists are everywhere — iPhone, iPad, all in sync.
