Learn your favorite songs without tabs or sheet music.

Whether you play for the world or yourself, all musicians need a good ear for harmony, melody, and rhythm. Using the songs in your music collection, Capo guesses the beats, chords, and key of songs to help you break them down to their individual parts. Capo’s unique technology helps you to learn your favorites quickly as you improve your ear along the way.

Capo is simple and yet so, so good, even the professionals use it:

“Capo is AMAZING!!! Very clutch. Especially when parts are kinda tough in the mix that I can’t make out easily. With other apps you lose quality, this still sounds correct.”
- Omar Edwards: Keyboardist/Music Director for Jay-Z, Rihanna, Kanye West, Eminem, and more

“When I sat down and started using Capo for the first time, I was amazed at how big a punch this little app packs! Its intuitive, convenient, and high-quality.”
- Rebecca Lovell: Lead Vocals, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Mandolin, Piano for Larkin Poe

Pros and cons of Capo - Learn Music by Ear app for iPhone and iPad

Capo - Learn Music by Ear app good for

This is an amazing app the first time I used it I was amazed. It made me very happy. It has its limitations which will make you appreciate it more if you dont expect any of these things to happen. It is a great tool for figuring out beatles songs or other music that is similar in complexity rhythmically and tonally. Dont expect to figure out jazz chord melodies with this, or steely dan songs, or meshuggah. This is a limited app all it does is figure out chords in songs. Not notes or anything like that. It also doesnt figure out the voicing of the chord. Anything with a changing time signature will not work. Besides these limitations which are totally understandable the app is great. It is a little breakthrough but the limitations i listed are where the real breakthroughs need to happen all across the board.
Ive found this app to be the best of its kind so far. The variety of options it offers to learn a song are well thought out. The sound remains clean when the recording is slowed down, which is essential. The chord recognition feature often supplies too many chords, but you can figure out which ones are most important. Pretty easy to use, fairly intuitive. One thing I havent found is a button to return to the start of the song. Seems pretty basic - hopefully it will be included later.
The app is excellent! The audio quality is very good when slowed down, and the app is easy to use. I have one request though - could you make it possible to import voice memos/ make a record function for playback? Id love to record my practicing and slow it down with this app - please make it happen!
I bought this on a whim a week ago. Just opened it today and within a minute I was playing a 60 yr old Woody Guthrie tune on my guitar. Great app, cant wait to check out all its features. Bravo.
All musicians will understand. Thank you guys for your work. Saves so much time. Totally worth a praise. Keep working, maybe one day we can have all instruments separately figured and converted in midi
This app is pretty darn cool. If you know a bit about music, you can feed it a song and be playing it moments later. That’s cool. It can be a little difficult sometimes to understand the timing it is showing you, like when the chord changes fall, but if you know the song you can nail it pretty quickly. Very cool. One of those types of apps you use to show people how cool your iPad is and the cool kind of stuff it can do. Very happy with the purchase.

Some bad moments

Total disappointment! Wrong chord detections all along! If I could I would ask for my money back! Expensive app for nothing!
Tried on several songs but it didnt worked out. Even not with easy songs...
App crashes after the tutorial on iphone 4 (7.0.4). Please fix
You cannot play sound with an instrument hooked up to irig for example. Unlike some other apps
Terrible app, the chords did not match the song even the chord changes were off, i want my money back
On my iPhone (with a large iTunes library) the app crashes immediately. It runs fine on my iPad (with a smaller iTunes library), but it does a poor job of sorting out all but the most basic of songs. Great idea poorly executed at this point.
