Thank You iReal pro

[Rengy]

thanks to all for your advice. Am now able to submit charts for all to use. Our trio has just given up using paper charts and we're blown away by this App and the helpful forum members
Sincerely....Rengy

Thanks to everyone who shares new song charts here in the forums.
How fortunate we are to have this increasingly wonderful resource.

We all benefit through helping each other along our respective musical paths.

I agree, Bob. Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow musicians and the developers of iRP.

Today, the 4th of July, the USA is celebrating its Independence Day.

I continue to celebrate my *musical* independence.

Thanks to iReal pro, I'm liberated from:
--Carrying a heavy backpack full of fakebooks around
(and still not being able to find the right chart)
--struggling to transpose unfamiliar charts on the fly.
--having difficulty reading charts on a dark stage.
--boring practice routines.
--problems getting a quick chart for a listener-requested tune.
--even needing a *band* (well, sometimes)
(when there's not enough budget to fairly pay my players)

I can only imagine how different my life would be if this life-changing musical app had been around when I was in high school...

Thank You iReal Pro!

I fully agree. iRP has changed my musical life. I now have a drummer and bassist who will play with me any time I like, at my tempo, in my key, in my style. I use iRP on my solo gigs and sound like a trio. My listeners seem to really enjoy the Keith88 trio and I enjoy playing for them. I will echo Bob's quote

I can only imagine how different my life would be if this life-changing musical app had been around when I was in high school..

I suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Thanks a million folks��

iReal pro makes it easy to share charts. I see folks AirDrop or email charts across a jam circle all the time.
Vocalists use iReal pro to quickly determine their best performance key for songs.
The many player-styles make experimentation easy.
iReal pro had helped musicians all over the world improve their "chops", skills and knowledge.

I've been reflecting on how fortunate I am to be part of the music community. I am thankful for the wonderful musicians I have played with on my musical journey. The experience of making music with others is difficult to explain to "civillians" but we know when those special moments happen.

iReal pro makes it easier for musicians to play together.

Thank You iReal pro!

Following a change of email account, I no longer had access to the iPhone version of'iReal.
After explanation, iReal provided me with a link to reload it on my new account. I thought the gesture was very nice. Thanks to the whole team!

The Beat goes on!
Now more than 145,000 Forum members along with many more "guests" viewing and downloading iReal pro charts all the time.

iReal pro is all about chart sharing. I am thankful for all who share their charts in the forums. By comparing different versions of the same song I often get new (to me) musical ideas. The iRp player makes it easy.

I am thankful for the the music teachers, instructors and mentors who have incorporated iReal pro into their programs and practice. Using iReal pro chord charts focuses on "the changes", chord progressions that provide the necessary framework for musical notes/melodies. Reading a melody line note by note will play a song. A single chord progression will play many songs (eg. I, vi, IV, V). There are many helpful posts in the forums that help demystify the secret language musicians use.

I believe that most folks, most of the time are doing the best they can. I am thankful for our members whose posts are intended to help others in their musical journeys.

I remain thankful for iReal pro which continues to make my musical life better. I hope you feel the same
