Learn to play guitar by loading your favorite songs in MP3, MP4, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WAV, and AIFF formats and viewing the chords and rhythms to play. Choose the speed to practice at by slowing the songs down or speeding them up, create loops, and use the metronome tool.

From the developer:
Riffstation helps guitarists and musicians practice and learn songs from their music collection. Load any song and Riffstation processes the music and displays the chords and rhythm to play.
Help yourself learn: Slow down the music without affecting the pitch or change the pitch without affecting tempo. Transpose the song into any key you like. Isolate the guitar track so you can hear it in greater detail.
You may want to check out more software for Mac, such as Live, OSCulator or TapeDeck, which might be similar to Riffstation.
