    I'm a guitar player in a duo with a singer, and want on-the-fly live bass and guitar accompaniment that follows my chords changes as I play. Can this software do that?

    I looked at OMB Guitars (https://ombguitars.com/) for this purpose but they don't have any US affiliates and didn't want to order a guitar all the way from Israel for logistical reasons.

    Yes, it does. I'm a solo keyboardist, and I use the program for live gigs. In fact, I'm the author of the program, and I've been using it for a decade of weekly gigs. It runs only on Linux. It started out as a Windows program, but later I switched to Linux. I may consider porting it back to Windows at some point. If you've ever played an "auto-arranger" product like a Yamaha PSR, Korg PA, Roland BK, etc, then you've got the idea how this program functions.

    If you want to control it while playing guitar, you need either a MIDI-capable guitar, or a set of bass pedals to play the root note of the chord.
