Capo

Capo helps you learn to play songs from music you own. You can work out chords, melodies, and rhythms by listening closely rather than relying on existing tabs or sheet music.

What you get

You can learn songs by slowing down and examining the parts you hear.

Capo gives you a way to work out songs from your own music collection, even when you don’t have tabs or sheet music. You get estimated chords, beats, and key as a starting point, then you can correct the chords as your ear picks out what’s actually being played.

You can slow a difficult passage, loop it while you practice, and scrub through individual notes. Instrument and vocal isolation tools help you hear parts buried in the mix. You can also change a song’s key, capture melodies and solos in the tabbing view, and consult chord diagrams for supported instruments.

With an active Pro subscription, you can save your edits, practice regions, and playback position, then revisit your projects through iCloud. Without a subscription, your project edits won’t be saved. You’ll need music you own: Capo cannot access tracks from streaming services such as Apple Music or Spotify.

  • Work out unfamiliar chords

    You get estimated chords and key to start from, then adjust the results as you listen.

  • Practice difficult passages

    You can slow down and repeat a short section while you learn its notes and rhythm.

  • Hear buried parts

    You can focus on specific instruments or vocals to make a hard-to-hear passage easier to work out.

  • Resume your practice

    With Pro, you can save your changes and playback position, then return to your projects through iCloud.

Best for

  • You learn songs by ear
  • You need to work out solos or melodies
  • You practice difficult sections of recordings you own

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you only want to learn from streaming tracks, which Capo cannot access.
