What a stem splitter is and why it's so useful for learning from real recordings. You'll see how to use AI tools like Moises to isolate or mute individual parts — guitar, vocals, bass, drums — so you can study a solo or play along with the track minus the lead.
What follows is this lesson’s section of the Course Guide — you can read it here or in the full guide →
When learning to improvise over a new song, it is often helpful to be able to create your own backing track or isolate the guitar part. Both of these can be accomplished with stem splitter software. A stem splitter analyzes a fully mixed audio track (e.g., from a CD) and extracts isolated instrument parts.
Most stem splitter software can isolate drums, bass, guitar, and vocals, and the most up-to-date versions can even separate lead guitar from rhythm guitar.
At the time of writing, I currently use and recommend Moises.ai; however, there are plenty of other good options out available. You will not need a stem splitter to complete this course, but you’ll want one when you finish it!
