How it works

From couch to encore in three steps.

No menus to fight, no setup wizard. Connect, load, play.

01 / 03
STEP 01

Connect your guitar

Plug in through an audio interface (recommended — cleanest signal and no feedback) or just use your computer's microphone. bandcraft listens to every note you play. No proprietary cable required. To hear yourself through a virtual amp, use headphones — speakers plus a mic will feed back.

02 / 03
STEP 02

Get a song from CustomsForge

Browse the CustomsForge Ignition catalog and download a Rocksmith .psarc you have the rights to — then load it, and bandcraft plays the real recording with the chart, synced lyrics and album art on top. No Rocksmith file? Drop in a Guitar Pro (.gp3, .gp4, .gp5, .gpx) and it synthesises the whole band instead.

03 / 03
STEP 03

Play for real

A count-in leads you in, then the notes scroll down a 3D fretboard in time with the song — synced lyrics and all. Hit them clean and watch your accuracy, streak and score climb.

Keep it free

Free, ad-light, and built by one guitarist.

No paywalls, no sign-up, nothing stored. If BandCraft helped you tune up or finally nail that riff, a coffee keeps the servers running and the features coming.
