Thought this might be worth a look.

Windows/macOS: Fender’s Riffstation can scan any audio file then help you learn how to play it on your guitar. Once a $35 purchase, it’s now free.

The app scans songs and show you the chords used throughout, complete with finger placement guides. You can even specify capo placement, or switch between open and power chords. It’s not perfect, but it’s a great way to start learning any song on your guitar.

And there’s a lot more to unpack here. You can break down songs into riffs, and play them in slow motion loops, giving you time to figure out exactly how to play them. You can even isolate the rhythm from the lead guitar, allowing you to only hear one or the other. https://pro.riffstation.com/

I heard about it and now that it is free, that sounds like a great deal.  I wonder why they went "free" though.

I've owned RiffStation for awhile now [I paid for it]. One thing I really like about it is that it recognizes the beats when selecting segments. So you can't really select a partial beat but always get the whole beat. This is very useful for making seamless loops.

Riff Station had a less feature rich, web based site that people could use to figure out the chords to a song. Now I guess that Fender has purchased the company. They are planning to take down the web based site and offering up the desktop software as a kindly alternative. So I have heard anyway.
