Chords Extracting Website

[timtam]

On a related note, Fender's purchase of Riffstation as an apparent key element of its new guitar tuition focus went awry when the music industry objected to their web site providing ripped popular songs with auto-extracted chords. When that site went down, the Riffstation company elected to provide for free what had been a paid version of their nice desktop app for auto-chord extraction, speed adjustment, etc. But I see now that it is no longer available ...

.. although the last PC and Mac version (1.6.3) is still floating around on various download sites.
.. for which help is still available online and on youtube ...

You can upload any file into Riffstation and it will show the chords. That's obviously not all that useful for anyone but beginners, but I found the slow down (without pitch change), replay, filters to isolate bass / treble, etc very useful for working out more complicated stuff. Sometimes I just get by with VLC Player's ability to replay / slowdown any section, which requires fewer clicks, but Riffstation is more powerful.

Now if someone would come up with an app that auto-extracted / auto-tabbed the melody / solos from any song, that would be something. I'm still working out the 5 minute solo for Marquee Moon, using one dodgy tab and Riffstation.

Any other good apps that people use for learning the tunes ? ... other than youtube 'how to plays' ... which are admittedly my main go-to.
