Trad Buddy
Learn Irish session tunes
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Trad Buddy is the playful way to learn Irish traditional music. Browse reels, jigs, hornpipes, polkas and more — each with staff notation, GDAE tablature for banjo and fiddle, and built-in playback so you can hear how it goes.
Build your personal tunebook, mark what you know and what's gone rusty, and level up through 100 ranks as your repertoire grows. When it's time to play, the Set Maker puts together session sets from the tunes you know.
Made by a musician, for musicians — big, clear, and uncluttered. Works offline, and optional sign-in keeps your tunes in sync across your devices.
