Now there's no need to use your ears or base any playing around the melody anymore! :))

I don't have this, but it saved a friend on a gig.

He gets a call for a gig with an established group. He plays bass. The first tune they call is one he's never heard of. Sure enough, it's on his iphone and a minute later he's playing it correctly. He thought it was waaay cool.

Outrageous ... just the other day I downloaded a iPod/iTouch "Guitar Chord" dictionary of over 2,000 chords for $1.95.

Yes YANKEES!

I said in SIX!

[j_alapeno]

Works on iPod Touch too. Great for transposing last minuite for the singer who's not brought sheets for the band !

Chords only, no heads, but it's great ! Does the same job a Vol 1 & 2 of the Pocket Changes.

On a Tablet with a bigger screen it would be superb.

"Moon River"

I couldn't tell if John was impressed with this app or dissing it. (?)

I just got an iPhone a week ago and have seen that app and wondered if
it was any good. Any one else have any opinions on it? I find real
books helpful since I like to have the head written out (I have found
I made mistakes in playing what I thought was the melody without doing
a transcription, reading a real book, etc). This app doesn't have
notation so I wonder how useful it is. But on the other hand, after go
through a piece a couple times I might want to change it to a
different key and then only go by the chord changes, and I guess this
app would be useful for that. I recently worked on a solo version of
St. Thomas and transposed it into a different key. Being too lazy to
leave the room to get a piece of paper, I just wrote the chord changes
in roman numerals on the back of a receipt and found that was all the
info I needed to go on.

"Mick, I too am eagerly awaiting the mythical tablet!"

I'm pretty sure he was referring to a "tablet" PC which is a very real thing.  It is essentially a computer that only encompasses the size of a monitor (all different sizes), which is normally the size of an 8x11 US standard piece of paper, and has a touchscreen.

In other words, he'd rather see it as an app for a "tablet" so, I assume, it would be easier to read on the bandstand, albeit less portable.

Turner Classic is showing a Johnny Mercer special, made by Clint Eastwood. It was on last night, but is sure to repeat. Lots of great music.
It ends with Moon River.

No, I meant the next gen oversized iPod Touch (or is it a downsized MacBook ?) iTablet or whatever Jobsian vision is being created for us.

This would work great on the soon-te-be-released Plastic Logic's Que
device, an 81/2 X 11 Kindle-esque unit which will be sold by
Barnes&Noble...

This looks really well done, however what if it was or could switch to
"roman numeral notation" (terminology?) like the charts at
