- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?

- Can I slow "You And I" down to learn the words and chords?
- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
