The account creation doesn't ask for a user name. But the log in does? I created an account but I don't know my user name.
Username means email address. Actually there is a generated username that you can change from your user profile page that also works, but you should be able to log in using your email address (and password).
Hi everyone. I'd like to introduce you to a side project I've been working on for a little while now. FATpick ( https://www.fatpick.com/ ) is a practice tool for guitar (and bass) that helps you learn to play new songs, improve your skills and stay motivated to keep playing. It's an auto-scrolling tablature viewer, synchronized with backing tracks, that listens as you play along with any guitar, providing immediate f…

That's great feedback, thanks. To clarify: it is totally free to download and use right now and will continue to be for at least several months. Eventually payment will be required, probably in the form of a subscription plan.
> subscription plan Please reconsider this. If this is a local app, then I see no reason for adopting a subscription plan. I am interested, but right now guitar is a hobby I can afford only a couple of times a week. Paying a subscription would have a different impact on, who like me, is an occasional player. Otherwise I can stick with Guitar Pro for eternity.

Guitar Pro's list price is more than the likely cost of an annual subscription to FATpick.
Okay, I'm probably your exact target demographic - I have about 1,300 hours in Rocksmith and I'm obsessed with it, but often find myself wanting more "pro" features like Guitar Pro has. So hopefully you'll find my feedback useful... On the tab interface: - Seeing a blob of 6 numbers come isn't intuitive enough. The strings REALLY need to be colored. You should be able to get away with using the same colors as Rocksmi…
I've been thinking along the same lines as many of your suggestions, just haven't gotten around to them yet.
The color-coding of strings comment is interesting. It's obviously not hard to do, but it never occurred to me that this would be particularly valuable. (To be fair most of your suggestions are interesting, but this is one that surprised me.)
I guess this is academic from your perspective, but as it happens FATpick does support sync'ing with original audio recordings in addition to the synthesized per-track audio that it generates. But that feature is not exposed right now due to some challenges with the auto-synchronization logic. Maybe I should add the recorded audio to some of the existing tracks just to demonstrate the feature. That's definitely a more compelling experience.
Thanks for keeping FATpick in mind.

Personally I switched from Rocksmith to goPlayAlong, mostly because it syncs audio to tabs. It does not do note recognition, but I had more trouble in rocksmith than its worth. Notes that do not get recognized for some reason. My low e string has trouble getting recognized even though its in tune. I've also realized that its not a good idea psychologically. You basically remove the "did I play it correctly and did it…

You talk about "community"is there likely to be any messaging between users? This would be great for my nephew (12) but his parents obviously aren't keen on him getting any internet messaging.
Obviously there are some "social" features that are planned. Messaging might be one of them, but it's certainly not at the top of the list.
When the time comes it might make sense to allow users (account holders) to disable that feature, maybe as part of a family plan, but for now I don't want to encourage minors to sign up. In fact it violates the ToS. Not that I have any particular issues with it nor that I expect any problems with inappropriate content, but for liability reasons regardless.

None of the bands in your "small sample of songs" were really what I wanted to play, so I didn't bother downloading this. It seemed like it would probably be a lot of work to download, install, get past the security errors on macOS Mojave, presumably create a login, and then find out what songs you have.
However, maybe the library of songs isn't what your main target audience cares about.
I would recommend making your entire database of songs available from the web page. Is there any technical reason preventing this?
