On the play along songs in the beginners lessons. It would be a lot easier to play along if you would show the music at the bottom of the video of the song being played.
Showing the music on the play along songs
This is great feedback! We will take your suggestion into consideration. Please feel free to share any ideas in the future as we want to create the best experience possible for all of our users.
Any progress with this suggestion ? It would be of great help and don't have to worry changing pages mid way through the song.
Today I got to the point of throwing in the towel because of this. It's frustrating to have to do 4 things at once: change chords, watch the strings so you pick the bass note correctly, watch the video and try to scroll down the tab. It's obvious you guys haven't thought this through and judging by the date of the first post, I can tell it's still of no interest whatsoever to add this simple yet very effective feature (display tab at the bottom of the video as you play along). Guessing I had high hopes for this much-applauded beginner's course and I'm totally disappointed.
I agree but you can get round this by opening 2 browser windows and resizing them to suit, one with video and one with notation. I do this with the Jam track and the notation
I tried that, but still you need another person (or a 3rd hand) to scroll down as you play. So that's not very helpful.
I totally agree. i got kinda frustrated trying to scroll back on the video, then clicking to look at the music all while trying to play..
Ive decided to print out the music have that on hand and play the video.. then play along this way.. Its not ideal but seems to work for me.
After a couple of times. i then play the Jam track and read off the music print out and play along that way.. its an effective way for me to pactice.
The lesson view and lay out can implove alot.
There is one more thing that annoys me. When im not around my computer and i wanna practice, i use the guitar tricks app on my phone. The Music notation view here is horrible. its way too small and you cant zoom in .. kinda frustrating.
hope this can improve.
If you play in the beta view it auto scrolls.
I think an inlay at the bottom of the screen would be better. Bonus points for chord names (or diagrams) and arrows denoting the strumming pattern.
