Learn Chords from your iPod with iRocker
March 18th, 2006
iRocker is a little program for your iPod that has a whole bunch of essential guitarist tools. The software package comes complete with a guitar tuner, chord dictionary, scales, metronome and riffs practice program. The chord directory has over 200 essential chords with correct fingering illustrations. It even lets you hear the chord. The tuner has settings for standard, drop D, half-step down, among others. Another cool feature is the riffs. It plays five different chord progressions that you can jam along with to help improve your soloing technique. Best of all, it runs for a cool $30.
MacNN reviewed the iRocker and said “The guitar tabs are easy to follow, but it made James wish that he could import his own tabs to practice on the go. Beginning guitarists will find it useful - especially the different tuning charts and the ability to tune by listening to the note on your iPod. The chords and tunings are displayed as well as played, so you have no one to blame if your guitar is flat! The sounds are crystal clear and the Riffs section is good for practicing with accompaniment without embarrassing yourself publicly. The metronome also offers ten different rhythms.”
You can purchase the iRocker at the Talking Panda website.
