Strum Machine - Backing Tracks

Elevate your music practice with customizable backing tracks generated with audio from real instruments (guitar, mandolin, and standup bass).

Strum Machine can 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, fiddle tunes, and other such genres. (Although it works pretty good for some jazz/swing now, too!)

Why musicians of all levels love Strum Machine:

• Realistic Sound: Backing tracks are assembled in real time from studio-quality instrument recordings.
• Quick Adjustments: Instantly adjust the speed/tempo, change the key, loop part of a song, etc.
• Auto-Speedup: Gradually increase the BPM at the end of every repetition for training purposes.
• Chord Reference: Clean, beautiful chord charts, which can be displayed in letters or numbers (i.e. "1-4-5").
• Extensive Library: Over 1,300 songs (mostly from bluegrass and old-time) ready to go, with thousands more posted on the community forum.
• Simple Song Editor: Add your own songs (or edit existing ones) in minutes. Almost every chord you can play on a guitar is available for use.
• Customize the Band: Choose from a variety of built-in band styles, then optionally customize each instrument individually – adjust the strumming pattern, add automatic bass runs, and more.
• Organize & Share: Create song lists for practicing or even performing, and share them with your friends or on the community forum.
• Cross-Platform: Sync your custom songs, lists, and preferences with any device you use Strum Machine on: phone, tablet, or computer. (It works offline, too!)
• Responsive Support: If you run into any problems or have questions, write us an email or post a message on the forum and someone will get back to you within a few days!

Strum Machine is under active development and we're always working on ways to make the app even more useful to our users... while keeping it uncluttered and intuitive first and foremost.
