When you're in the Play & Practice area, you’ll first want to Add Backing so you have some accompaniment for the tune you’re working on. Tap the purple ✨ Add Backing box in the control panel.

Then pick a style: Vamp or Push & flow on piano, Strum or Fingerpicking on guitar or bouzouki, and Strum or Crosspicking on mandolin.
Try it now and watch as the chords are scribbled down onto the sheet music!✍️

The most popular arrangement goes in straight away. To try someone else’s, tap Choose from … arrangements under the control panel.

Once the chords have been added, you can make use of all 3 toggle buttons depending on how and what you’d like to practise.
Click here for an example practice routine using the toggle buttons, for both melody players and accompanists.

Use the balance slider to set how loud the melody is against the backing. Turn the melody down and play it yourself over the backing, or turn the backing down and play the backing part.

Try adding backing now with Hundred Pipers.

All the best,
Adam
