This short video will give you an overview on the basics of using iReal Pro (using chord charts, exporting audio or pdf files, displaying chord diagrams in real time – super cool feature!):Įditing And Creating Chord Charts in iReal ProĪs I mention in the video above, iReal Pro does use jazz notation symbols for chords, so you will need to get used to those (but it’s not that big a deal and hey – learning is fun!). But I found the easiest way to look for a song was just to google “song name iReal Pro” and if there was one in the iReal Pro forums, my search results would give me a link that takes me right to the song so that works really well. One thing I did want to mention is that while you can browse the user forums and search for songs within that interface, I found it a bit clumsy to use (I may also just have been too lay to get familiar with it 😉 ).

Given that the songs are user contributed, you may need to edit the one you download to your liking (transpose it, modify chords etc) but that is simple to do. iReal Pro chord charts are user contributed, and there are THOUSANDS of users constantly contributing more – at the time of this review, look at how many songs in different genres are available: iReal Pro Songs Keep in mind that these are just some default playlists of popular songs to get you started – there are thousands more songs that you can download chord charts for. If you click the globe in the top left and then click “Main Playlists” you will see this screen where you can either browse these playlists and download songs one at a time or you can just grab the whole list (I downloaded the pop and blues playlists so I immediately had over 400 songs on my device): iReal Pro Default Playlists These are just pre-chosen chord charts of popular songs from various genres – they don’t take up alot of space, and this way you can search the songs on your device instead of having to search them online and download one at a time.

To get started, the best thing to do is download some default playlists that iReal Pro has assembled. And you can buy additional style packs such as Blues for around $5 if you like. So you get style categories like Jazz, Latin and Pop, each of which have many sub styles within so you can customize how you want your song to sound. When you buy iReal Pro and download it to your device (I paid around $21 CDN so about $16 US), you get access to all of the chord charts in the database, and you also get access to the default “styles” for playing back your song.

There are some things that are still present in the app including some “jazz-centric” notation that I’ll be talking about so let’s get into it. iReal Pro was originally developed as a tool for jazz soloists (guitarists, pianists, horn players, etc) that would play a jazz chord progression for them to practice their soloing over.
