Description
Now with new guitar features such as automatic bass runs and new options for customizing the feel of each strumming pattern!
Practice all your songs with customizable backing tracks generated with audio from real instruments: guitar, mandolin, and standup bass.
Strum Machine is a subscription-based app that will play any chord progression, in any key, at any speed. It's the only backing-track app built specifically for players of bluegrass, old-time, and fiddle tunes.
• Hear rhythm backup generated in real time from real instrument audio.
• Instantly change the speed, or have the speed automatically increase.
• View chord charts as letters or numbers (i.e. "1-4-5") and change the key with two taps.
• Over 1,400 songs (mostly from bluegrass and old-time) ready to go.
• Add your own songs (or edit existing ones) with our simple song editor.
• Make lists of songs to practice from, or share with your friends.
• Syncs your custom songs, lists, and preferences with any device you use Strum Machine on: phone, tablet, or computer.

Ratings and Reviews
An excellent app
A very useful and easy to use app.
An excellent practice tool that provides very realistic backing tracks.
It is also well supported by the developer.
Solo Learners - do yourself a favour
I have now started learning the banjo in an almost banjo-free environment (not counting YouTube), and find that using this great little app speeds up the learning process a lot. Well worth the sub.
Great app… but..
This is a great app, it’s really well designed and does what it says.. but it’s subscription based why?
Remember when you could just pay for software once and then use it?
Subscriptions are just greedy.
I’d happily pay a once off price that gives most full song writing features and then pay for songs I want.. then I’d give this as many stars as possible..
but as is I just can’t give it a good review.
It’s just not worth $9 a month.
Developer Response ,
For what it's worth: Strum Machine has taken thousands upon thousands of hours of work to get to where it is today, and I plan to keep improving it for years to come. At the same time, it is "niche" software with a relatively small number of users. Without the subscription model, I simply would not be able to afford to spend the amount of time on building and improving the product as I can now. It's not greed; I built this app for the music community that I love, not to get rich. Having an ongoing subscription means I get to focus almost all of my energy on supporting my users and improving the product, versus continually trying to find new users so that I can put food on the table. 🙂
