You SHOULD memorize standards, you SHOULD know how to transpose on the spot, you SHOULD learn melodies, which the app doesn't even provide you with. It's a great tool to use, but it's absolutely no replacement for knowing your stuff. You can imagine how helpful this app would be for me haha. Little bit of background, I'm a bass player. Here's my two cents on it, having hated the app before I tried it, and then gave it a fair shot. One thing I have been looking into is using a bicycle phone clamp on mic stand to hold the phone since i rarely get 'paper charts' on gigs anymore and it would be easier to transport to the gig.Īnything that makes you more efficient during practice is a Very Good Tool I am a bass player so I am kinda OK with the lack of melodies but since I switched to Android I haven't found anything to replace iGigBook.hopefully someday. I still use Aberersold tracks for about 10-20% of practice time but the play along feature is just perfect to get those heads up to speed and solo on changes endlessly. I don't always agree but This is the part I use a lot for practice and study. Another thing I like about access to the forum is that a lot of people put up their re-harmonization of tunes I already (think I) know. Yeah I can transpose in my head but this makes for just one less thing to think about in a loud bar. I've been playing a jam session where a lot of singers come in (so what else is new?) and the transpose function is great (um Girl From Ipanema in D? r u sure?). On my phone i can just log into the forum and with a quick search download the tune before it was counted off. The reason I switched is because I was on a gig and someone called an obscure tune that was not in the Jazz playlist. i was using it on a tablet (without data) but now just use my phone and so far it seems fine visually with the smaller size. I love it for both practicing and on the gig.
