FourChords Guitar Karaoke has officially launched on Steam, iOS and Android! Play alongside renowned online guitar instructor Justin Sandercoe (a.k.a., JustinGuitar.com) using Musopia’s beginner-friendly teaching method, Instant Play. Don’t worry about tabs or sheet music: Most songs include tutorial videos and chord demos that make learning easy and often ridiculously fun. The Instant Play Method allows you to:

*   Adjust the tempo and transpose the key of any song *   Customize backing tracks *   Sing the lyrics of every song *   Learn new skills or chords with tutorials from JustinGuitar.com

FourChords Guitar Karaoke entered Steam Early Access in July and has been regularly updated with new music, gameplay enhancements, and bug fixes. The game now includes two advanced features, “Pro Chords” and “Strum Instructor.” Pro Chords goes beyond the root chord — adding and subtracting notes for more advanced playing techniques. Strum Instructor teaches you how to strum in time with songs and when to utilize up and down strokes all while tracking your stats.

Pricing: FourChords Guitar Karaoke is now available on Steam (Windows and Mac) at the introductory price of $14.99 — with 150+ hit songs included in the Starter Pack. The DLC is priced as follows:

3-song pack: $2.99 5-song pack: $4.99 10-song pack: $7.99

FourChords Karaoke on Steam Early Access

  As of the 19th July, Musopia have released a version of FourChords Guitar Karaoke onto Steam’s Early Access with a 34% discount until 25th July.

FourChords has been around for a few years now in the form of an app for iOS and Android but has now moved to PC in the form of Steam. It lets you learn songs in its library of over 100+ popular tracks with 11 chords. This is a great way for beginners or casual players to pick up a guitar and start playing well known songs.

Although the app has been free in the respective mobile stores, the Steam version of FourChords includes an extensive library from you to choose from straight away and with the purchase of the Early Access at only £7.25 or £10.99 after 25th July, this makes it more attractive than its mobile counterparts with in-app purchases.

FourChords boasts an easy-to-play, sleek interface that appeals to beginners as well as experienced guitarists with many features including, lessons, guitar instruction from Justin Sandercoe (a.k.a.JustinGuitar.com), backing tracks and lyrics for every song. It also has an innovative Instant Play Method, whereby you can “bypass” tabs or sheet music as every song includes tutorial videos and chord demos.

You may be thinking by now that, yes, we have had many other software/games that help with guitar tuition; Rocksmith, Guitar Hero or Rock Band, with the latter two, having a more “game” element. However with steep price tags and the addition of specialised hardware, FourChords are going about this completely differently, allowing the user to pick up their own guitar and just have fun.

The people at Musopia say this about the game, “Learning to play the guitar can be a very daunting task for new players. Thanks to our many years of experience working on music-related software, we knew that we could offer music fans a better way to learn guitar. With FourChords Guitar Karaoke, budding guitar players can effortlessly learn the basics while having a good time with their friends and family.”

Key features include:

100+ hit songs, with new songs added regularly.

Learn fast with the Instant Play Method: Simplified chords arranged by professional guitarists will have you playing in under an hour.

Sound like a pro with adjustable backing tracks and lyrics.

Sing along with Karaoke-style display and get the crowd going.

Enjoy top-notch tutorials from Justin Sandercoe (a.k.a. JustinGuitar)

The starter package that the Steam software includes ranges from Pop, Country and Rock to include a wide range of guitar songs from artists such as, Imagine Dragons, Adele, Fall Out Boy, Carrie Underwood to Pearl Jam and Taylor Swift.

If, like me, you have no real time to learn guitar professionally, then this might be for you, jamming away with friends or learning solo.
