Well, from the PoV of someone who tries to learn how to play the guitar I must say that all this AI frenzy managed to produce some useful tools ;-)

I checked https://lamucal.ai/ with some example MP3:

- lyrics are OK (although I've seen tools that managed to do better),

- chords recognition wasn't bad,

- the UI is a bit rough around the edges (and I managed to get some Unity-related errors),

- pitch-aware speed adjustments is always a great tool when someone tries to learn how to play the song,

- transposing can be useful as well (although the web application does not support it).

I'm using (and paid for) some other similar application, although I primarily use that for tracks separation. Later I import tracks into Ardour and then record my own guitar lines. I use just a miniscule percentage features of the DAW, so if someone could provide an application with all that AI goodies coupled with recording ability that would be wonderful.

That said in personally I've found that one way or another I need to listen a lot to the song I'm trying to learn, make notes, break down the song structure (sections, strumming patterns, chords etc.). And a good video on YouTube that starts with a simple version of the song and then adds more and more feature are often the best help to start with, at least at my current level.




Thank you for raising the issue. We are continuously optimizing our model, and we are also constantly gathering various UI and business-related bugs. We will continue to optimize and resolve them in the future.


I found the lyric alignment quite good for the rap song I tested. What tool has better lyrics alignment?
