Could you build this?
Partial Scales, tabs, and the UI are standard native macOS work, but the amp and effects modeling needs DSP expertise, and BackTrack depends on proprietary recordings by real musicians that no AI tool can supply.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app in Swift/SwiftUI with AVAudioEngine and a DSP core in C++ or Swift for amp, cabinet, and effect models. Amp and cab modeling requires measured or hand-tuned circuit emulation, and the BackTrack feature needs licensed or commissioned multitrack recordings, so it needs audio engineers and musicians as well as DSP expertise.
