Description

To improve your guitar playing, learn scales, chords, and the relationship between them. Stay in tune with the tuner and enhance your rhythm by practicing with the metronome.

Practice scale loops to master positions and develop muscle memory. Engage in scale exercises that will improve your finger dexterity and ability to improvise. Begin slowly and gradually increase your speed as you improve.

Play scales and chords by swiping across the strings. The direction of the swipe determines whether the playback is ascending or descending. Tap on a note to play it.

Scale positions correspond to the CAGED system, which consists of five patterns that cover the fretboard for each scale. The chord shape for each position is displayed to assist you in learning it in any key.

The tuner offers a chromatic mode or the option to select from various tunings.

The tuner and instruments use an adj. reference frequency, set to 410 Hz - 470 Hz (default A = 440 Hz).

The Circle of Fifths displays common chords for a key, aiding in composing music, learning key signatures, and transposing songs to different keys.

Metronome provides click and drum voices, beat subdivisions, and tap to set the BPM (10 - 400). Time signatures: 2/2, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, and 12/8.

Create PDF diagrams (color and black-and-white) of scale positions or all notes on a full fretboard, as well as diagrams of all chord notes on a full fretboard. These 8.5” x 11” PDFs are easy to print, save, and share.

Habbahaa ,

Really nice app!

Just bought this as an advanced beginner and I’m really happy I spent a fiver on it! It’s got the circle of fifths, play along scales and chords, you can select to see finger positioning, notes or numbers. The metronome has different options for sounds and fill ins. Great help toggle. Lovely little choices in the options menu like choosing the guitar sound and choosing auto lock screen. They’ve thought of all the little details here. Well done! The first app I’ve bought in a long that that seems to have thought of all the little details that are usually missing. They have been thinking steps ahead of the user, that’s unusual. Really worth the money!

For a leftie like me its just brilliant - for example, say u wanna be learming all patterns of the minor pentatonic in all keys, either by notes or interval name? Easy with this app and ALL the info is laid out perfectly for you - well done whoever developed this , pat yourselves on the back for a job well done !

Simple Magic

I purchased this App some time ago and suggested a few changes and I was promised that they would come and they did with a whole lot more. Thank you! It is a very Clear, Clean and Uncluttered App which IMO is a must for Teachers & Guitars alike. Well worth the small fee, 5*
