Backing Track Player
Load any track and see every chord and scale mapped onto a live fretboard or piano as it plays — not tabs, not guesswork, the actual shape under your fingers in real time.
See the music, not just hear it
Most backing-track tools give you audio and nothing else. Melody Monkey overlays what's actually happening musically — the chord, the scale that fits it, the beat — directly on an interactive fretboard or piano, synced to the track as it plays.
How it works
- Drop in a song or pick one from your library.
- Melody Monkey lines up the chord progression and scale against the timeline.
- Play along and watch the board update in real time — loop any section, slow the tempo down, or switch instruments without losing your place.
Built for real practice
- Works across guitar, bass, ukulele, and piano voicings.
- Tempo control so you can slow a fast passage down without changing pitch.
- Pairs with your Personal Music Teacher — ask it why a chord works and it'll show you on the same board.
