Double Bass iPhone Real Book?!?

[PaperbackRyder]

I found a cool app for my iPod Touch;
iRealBook on the Apple App store. They do not include the melody lines for copyright evasion purposes. BUT you get hundreds of standards right on your device, transposable with two taps, editable cause they're never right.....very cool, check it out.
I am not associated, endorsee or anything else....

A nice app. For those dates where someone calls a tune you don't know it is great in a pinch. I'd prefer to have the melody line though.

The transpose function is nice too.

 

[Michael Eisenman]

The developer has updated it a few times since I've had it; it's up to 625 songs now. Now has a playlist feature, and you can enter your own changes as new songs, but I don't know how easy that is.

I've used mine quite a bit. Much faster finding tunes than rifling through even Pocket Changes much less a Real Book. The only drawback is sometimes other folks' amplifiers pick up that characteristic iphone interference. There's one pianist I play with occasionally that I can't use the phone with. His amp just screams whenever I pull the phone out. Another guitarist's amp makes noise but not quite as loud. My amp doesn't have this problem nor do the amps of a lot of the other guys I play with. It is a seriously cool toy.

Another reason to get the iPhoneless (Ipod Touch).

 

[Mike Arnopol]

I wish they made it for the Android phone. I love mine but feel severly inadequate when the I Phoners brag about their apps. Although I do like my Mr.T sounds app.

 

[Marc Piane]

iPity. They have it for the iPhone too.

 

[Michael Eisenman]

Ha! I work for a company that makes antivirus software, and we used to joke, "I pity the fool who has to remove that Trojan."

We now return to our regularly scheduled program . . .

I have it, it's a great app.

It feels odd quoting myself…

If anyone else in Australia reads this, could you try searching for the iRealBook app and let me know if you can find it? I have only searched from my phone (not from iTunes on the computer) for the moment but have not found the app.

I am wondering if the Australian incarnation of the App store differs at all from the US one. I know that applicable local apps show up higher in searches than foreign ones, so it may be different here.

Hopefully we can get this app down here!

I'm glad I don't own an iPhone. For lots of reasons. But with this app, so little people don't know the easiest tunes by heart anymore. This will only make it worse. Remember that jazz was, and still should be, a style of music and making music learned by ear, without sheet music.

iRealbook success story. This past weekend I played a wedding job and at one point a tipsy (and very cute) sister of the bride had a song she wanted to sing (I think her drinking buddies put her up to it). It was a tune that none of us knew and she didn't know all the lyrics to. The singer and I both have iPhones. We found the chart in iRealbook and the lyrics online. She had no choice. Despite her apprehension and intoxication she brought the house down. Always great when you can help out a pretty girl.
