Keep in tune with the tuner and play with the metronome to improve your rhythm when practicing chords and scales. Practice scale loops to master the position and build muscle memory.

    THE BEST GUITAR APP AVAILABLE
    I have been studying and playing guitar for many years. I play blues and other styles and I use many alternate tunings. I have been looking for something like this and am grateful I found it. This app is outstanding for understanding music theory, scales and chords, in any tuning. It allows the user to print out in color all possible scales and chords for any tuning. Even if you only use standard tuning this is a wonderful learning app. I think the developer is a genius for taking such complex data and making it so usable. And the app is free with no additional charges - very unusual. I recommend this for any guitar player no matter the experience level. Thank you Thomas Gunther! Wolfie Show more

    Great utility
    Used this app for many years, both iPhone and iPad, one stop, easy access, don’t need much else.

    Best tool ever
    Could be 5 if full functions in all tunings. The first easy layout, visual learning aid that simplifies guitar.

    This is great
    I had no idea what to do with this when I first started playing. Now that I’ve learned a little bit about guitar I use this all the time.

    Well Designed, Very Useful App
    I’ve had this app for a few years now. It’s one of a few apps I use every day. It was useful to me as an absolute beginner, and has become more useful as an early intermediate. I’m using this on an iPad Pro 12.9. It is a ‘horizontal’ only app on iPad, but works in both horizontal positions, so is OK for us left-handers. Would be nice if it worked in all orientations like the iPhone version. Their privacy policy is decent. I’ve been deleting a lot of apps now that Apple requires them to disclose their spyware policies. This app is staying on my device, but I would prefer they gathered no data at all. I have forgotten how much I paid for the app, but whatever it was, I’ve gotten my money’s worth. I’m really glad this is a paid app, and not a subscription, as I never subscribe to any apps.

    Just what I was looking for
    This is exactly the app I was looking for. I’d been creating scales with software, but it was time consuming. Now I can print my scales easily with the PDF feature in the app. Show more

    Great app
    This app completely unlocked the mode shapes for me, thus unlocking the entire fretboard. Only improvement I wish they had was a complete matching of the available chords for a given scale. It offers a few suggestions but its not exhaustive or complete. Still, this is a fantastic tool for guitarists! Customer support was excellent and Tom responded to my inquiry within an hour! Definitely recommend this. Show more
