TAB vs. standard notation
The default view is TAB, as most guitarists are familiar with it.
You can switch to notation only or enable both TAB & notation via Settings.
Backing tracks for performance pieces
Some songs and performance pieces feature a backing track synced to the interactive notation.
Use the dropdown menu to switch to a recording of the guitar without your guitar part — select "No guitar".
If the performance features a live band, the backing track will appear as a video.
If the song uses a produced track, it will play as audio-only.
Advanced settings
The settings menu provides additional customization to fit your preferences. Explore the options and adjust them as needed.
