Wholenote.com’s Groove Builder – time to ditch your imaginary jamming buddy!

Joe — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 03:09:17 +0000

Don’t you hate it when you’re in the mood to jam but there’s no one around? Or when you just learned a new guitar scale but you have no way of applying it? Well this is an essential practicing tool I use all the time. It is called the Groove Builder and it’s on wholenote.com.

The Groove Builder allows you to set a backing track so you can jam over it. It has a lot of great settings and it is one of the better free groove building tools out there. It is a pretty easy interface to figure out. The only thing that I should point out is that to set the tempo and the amount of times the chord progression should loop, look to the very bottom of the screen.

So what are you still doing here? Start grooving with the Groove Builder now! (It is the 3rd menu item in from the left).
