I'm pretty impressed with this - I purposely fed it a song I thought would kill it ("Fuzz Universe" By Paul Gilbert) - It did an impressive job of capturing many of the underlying chords, while ignoring the lead lines over the top. I notice that it is not really great at capturing very fast chord changes, an has some trouble with varying time signatures, but great first effort. It would be pretty cool if you could upload your own MP3 to it, and get a result back - that way you could generate the output off a recording of yourself to distribute to bandmates.
Edit: Later, that song did kill it, as the changes got faster/harder.
Also, it doesn't seem to have a complete set of possible chords - one song to check would be "A hard Day's Night" by the Beatles. It has a difficult and distinct first Chord which might be valuable to test against.
Ha! I'm impressed at its attempt at the early parts of Fuzz Universe. I think it can do really well when there's a clear bass note, and the bass is clear as a whistle on that album. When it has the bass note it seems to usually get the character of the chord (maj, min, dim, etc.).
Without a doubt for me as well. His brand new album is a little disappointing, but I don't really care for cover albums. Shredding to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is amusing though.
I wish I would be ble to do that. In the mean time I'm enrolled in his artistworks classes, which are excellent. It's taking quite a bit of re-learning to do things his way, but I'm willing to admit his way is better than mine was.
Yeah, he's my favorite guitar player ever also. Not sure anything tops Fuzz Universe in my mind. But most of his songs are great.
