breakdowns.

Learn heavy riffs the way they're played: locked to a band. Plug in, mute your part, take the riff, and a timing coach tells you exactly how tight you are, note by note.

The real app: guitar muted, the band playing, every pick graded against the drums.
01 · The band

Practice with a band,
not a click.

Every part, played

Drums, synth walls, a 7-string guitar and a 5-string bass, all written from the same tab you're reading.

Mute your part

Hear the riff first, then switch it off and play it yourself. The band keeps going. Turn off the drums, synths or bass the same way.

Three real tempos

70, 85 and 100%, each one re-rendered at that tempo. No warbly time-stretch: the same tone and tuning at every speed.

Plug straight in

A built-in amp with four voices, from tight djent to doom, and a bass amp. Or play through your own rig and the app just listens.

02 · The path

A path,
not a pile.

50 riffs in six stages, from chug control to blast-beat tremolo. Each riff has three steps, and the timing coach signs each one off.

1

Chug control

Tight palm mutes that land exactly with the kick drum.

8 riffs · 3-3-2 chugs, zero-fret syncopation, two-step, 3/4 doom
2

Picking hand

Gallops, down-picking and 16th-note endurance without tensing up.

8 riffs · gallops, 12/8 triplets, thrash at 180 and 200 BPM
3

Groove & syncopation

Off-beat chugs and rests that feel heavy, not late.

9 riffs · off-beat kicks, breakdowns, slam, sludge, stoner
4

Odd time & polyrhythm

Counting 5, 7, 9 and 15 without losing the downbeat.

9 riffs · 5/4, 7/8, 9/8, 15/16, polymeter, mathcore
5

Speed & extremes

Tremolo picking over blast beats, clean at full tempo.

9 riffs · blasts, black metal, tech death, deathcore
6

Texture & dynamics

Ringing chords, octaves, leads and building a wall of sound.

7 riffs · post-hardcore, melodic metalcore, post-metal
03 · The coach

Rushing?
Dragging?

Plug into your interface and the coach listens to every pick. Each note on the tab turns green, yellow or red, and you see your average offset in milliseconds. "Pretty tight" becomes a number you can beat.

±25 ms tight ±60 ms close loose or missed
Ad frame: Locked in, with the timing coach showing 96% on time Ad frame: Clear it, level up, with the three practice steps

Bassists
too.

Flip to bass and everything follows: 5-string tab in GCGCF, a bass tuner, the coach and your own progress through the path. Mute the bass, lock in with the kick, hold down the low end.

Straight answers.

What do I need?

A guitar or bass in the tuning below, an audio interface, and Chrome on a Mac or PC. The built-in amp gives you a heavy tone with nothing else installed, or you can play through your own amp or amp sim.

What tuning is it in?

Every riff is written for a 7-string in GCGCFAD and a 5-string bass in GCGCF. Other tunings and string counts are planned as expansion packs.

Will I hear a delay?

The amp itself adds about a quarter of a millisecond. What you hear depends on your interface's buffer size and your computer. On a Mac with a small buffer it feels immediate; on Windows, browsers add more, so playing through your own rig with direct monitoring is the tightest option.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, from Billing in the app. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for. Cancel during the 7-day trial and you're never charged.
