Not only that but I think it's possible to argue that the way it comps just might rub off on you (in a bad way). They will feed me things that will help me develop my solos. Real compers will play the call-and-response game with me. They will also help me develop the climax of my solo that I'm trying to achieve. A real comper will listen to what I'm playing and respond accordingly. Good compers will create points and contrasts to my solo that highlights what I'm trying to get across. Regardless, this is unrealistic when playing with a skilled live being. I've used iReal Pro recently and it's stil buggy - plays weird sounding chords sometimes. It plays according to a set of static changes with very minor alterations (if any). Why do it when the 'puter does it for you?ġ) Computer generated comping does not propel my solos forward. This results in several problems:ġ) Too much generated comping = boring solos.Ģ) Too much generated comping = nebulous chord changes that aren't directly related to the tune.ģ) Too much generated comping = weak time feel, weak ability to hear harmony while learning/playing tunes. It does not respond to the notes I play, nor does it respond or create forward motion that reflects the song I'm playing. From what I see now the biggest problem is this: I'l reiterate Ed's post in the list I provided. I'll also refer you to DEADPUKESPRAY's response in this thread about the merits of play-along software.Īnd to add, it's been a couple years since I've dropped the play-along stuff. If you want to find detailed discussions on the matter, look it up yourself. Zojo: I won't bother with the merits of memorizing tunes and working with the 'nome. CD: I'm ignoring your post because you fail at reading comprehension.
