Here’s a link to Sonoma Wireworks software Riffworks T4. I’ve played with this & it looks to be very good but I really haven’t put a lot of time into it. Here’s the link: http://www.sonomawireworks.com/T4/
I think there may be a demo on Youtube that explains it better.

The free version looks nice, but I kind of think the paid version is a bit high cost these days. But thanks for posting.
The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete
It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete

I got a thing called riff station off the internet, its not the same thing but its cool also. you put your favorite song in it and it can figure out the chords of the song. you can also slow it down without changing the pitch,you can hear just the guitar or what ever. you can also pick out different parts of the song and put them together to make your owm jam track,so you can jam with your favorite band. they have a 30 day trial on line, to buy it is $50 I got it on sale for $32 just recently. the only thing ive done with it so far is the chord thing
the web site is just riff station.com -
Thanks Butch,
That’s a great tip. Any software that will slow down the song without altering the pitch is a useful tool in figuring out song riffs & melody lines. Remember the old days when we had to slow down the record player but the pitch altered too? I remember doing it to Sunshine of your love by Cream. We are pretty lucky with today’s technology. It’s changing the way we do things & making learning the guitar fun & a little easier to share the experience with others & I think that is where you really learn, playing & sharing with others. I have also found some great Android apps for helping me too. I have a tuner, metronome & chord charts. I’m sure iOS has even more for the iPhone.

I just installed Riffstation & the first thing you need to do is load a song. I chose the Rolling Stone song, “Miss You” performed by Etta James…great version by the way. Once it loaded, the first thing I noticed is it had analyzed the song & put the chords in….even the changes !!!! so right there, useful for figuring out chords. I suggest trying to do it yourself first as it’s a vital skill in learning guitar.. but if one chord is proving elusive, this could help. Next, as the song played, the chord being played was highlighted by the edge around it being “lit up” for it’s duration before the next change. I can’t wait to find out what more this program offers but just in the first 5 minutes, I think it’s a winner.
Cheers & thanks again Butch for making me aware of it. -
This is some good info here, thanks.
There is yet another program that I found while searching for David Gilmore backing tracks, the track I found was Comfortably Numb, and the program is the Amazing Slowdowner. Pretty sure it was YouTube, and the program seems to slow down the video as well. The guy plays the lead at normal speed, then slows it down so you can follow him on the fretboard. -
