GuitarLayers is a professional macOS guitar education software used by students, schools, teachers and pro guitarists. It allows students and teachers to visualize and manage, scales, chords and arpeggios shapes through a fully parametric control interface. GuitarLayers automatically generates Scales Modes, Chords or Arpeggios Inversions, Drop Voicings according to the modern guitar theories and it allows you to create Vertical shapes, custom Notes-Per-String shapes, CAGED shapes, Shapes on String Sets, for any common or custom scale, chord or arpeggio. It enables you to visualize harmonic concepts by overlapping shapes automatically on the guitar fretboard, generating chord-scale and arpeggio-scale diagrams and it lets you to harmonize automatically any scale. You can easily create multi-fretboard visualizations in real-time and export, print, organize and archive all your diagrams.

    Lacks tunings
    The program offers a lot but lacks so many 6-string guitar tunings.

    Brilliant app! Serveral frustrating points.
    I really hope this app is still in active development. I wrote to the developers a few weeks ago and haven't received a reply yet. I love so much about this app and wish that I could have used this 35 years ago. I would dearly love for the developers to consider a few minor changes though. The tunings that I've been experimenting lately aren't available in the default options in the app, and I can't add my own tunings. I think I have an idea which may solve several constraints at once. It's also not possible to clone a project and also change the tuning on the cloned project. I don't understand the reasoning behind binding the tuning at the project level, and then immediately. preventing changes to the tuning. GuitarLayers is such a powerful learning tool. Separating tunings from projects would allow for a whole new level of study and experimentation for guitarists that want to compare chord shapes, scales, and arpeggios across different tunings. Request: Please separate the tunings from the project settings. Several possible suggestions to approach this: Add 'tuning pegs' on each string of each fretboard. Then users could simply adjust the open fret-zero string note on each individual string on a fretboard within a project (up/down by half steps)? This would helpful, (especially for classical guitar players with guitars that play better when tuned down), would be an option to tune up or down by half steps. And it would have the immediate affect of ensuring that every possible tuning would be possible, and that tunings could mannualy be changed at the fretboard level, which would alieviate my point about adding a feature to allow changing the tunings on a cloned project. - If the above suggestion is too complicated, perhaps just allow changing the project-level tuning when cloning a project. Cheers, and thanks very much for your time and consideration. Show more

    Upadates are Fantastic
    A must have for serious guitarists.

    Scales, chords and every option lesson content
    This a well thought out and well designed application with all the features, a storage file for all personally created scales and a well designed web page with some good learning material. I am pleasently suprised. I have had 20 guitar apps in three weeks looking for the right one. I consider myself an IT professional since its my career. When I first logged in I did have to get accustomed the interface and the design. When you log in you create your own folder and start storing content there. I was unsure at first but the logic kicked in. I have been looking for an App that has all material required but an app that also me to build the learning scales/content I need and modify as I go. I was also pleased when I was able to adjust the layout of the UI. Everything can be printed and the print layout is a one pager and obviously well thought of. But then I wanted learning material/content to support my study of the guitar and all the voicings. I navigated over the webpage and found a good mix of quality videos, a forum and additional resources. I'm very happy with the App. As an IT professional I have seen people put together an app in 2 days. This is not the case. This is a well configured, developed and functional application for my MacBook. Show more

    sound would be totally awesome
    I love this app. Great conception, great learning and teaching tool. Great way to create new ways to practice. I too think it would be so awesome to hear sounds, although I know the developer didn't intend to do this. still, would make an awesome app even more awesome. Show more

    Very poor first impression
    First time I opened the software it asked me to rate it, then it crashed. Careful for what you ask for. Running Mojave 10.14.2 on 2018 MacBook Pro. No other apps acting up. The UI is obtuse at best. Very odd selection of prominent customizable items like the fade and positioning of the note name, yet the fretboard nut is poorly represented and always faded, making it difficult to read. There is an over abundance of "<" and ">" forward/back icons sprinkled around in the UI with no labels or context help to clarify what they do. Five sets of "<" ">" on the main interface, all doing something different. Was hoping to find a chord namer function, nope. This software category has promise, maybe from a more experienced developer. moreOrLess is trying to tackle a difficult concept, hope they get some UI help and make this a great product. Save your $40 until they address reliability and fix the catastrophic interface. Show more

    Great, but some improvements would be highly appreciated
    This app is very useful and very ergonomic but some suggestions : - You cannot delete one individual note from a shape. Fortunately, most of the time you can find a suitable shape, but it’s a wasting time reviewing all differents shapes before findind the good one. And sometimes I was unable to find a good shape,for fingering purposes, so I have some note positions I cannot remove . The note removal is global where it should be individual. - In addition to the global zoom, a vertical zoom should be implemented to adjust the fretboard heigth, and to display several fretboards , i.e. for rehearsal . - No sound all all ( notes cannot be played ). For training or mobile situations, or without instrument, it can be useful to hear the notes. The final goal is playing music ;-) - May we have a user defined default color set instead of the default white color ? Now, I have to create a default shape with default colors then clone it. Other ideas for future versions: Add MIDI Clock or ReWire sync to automatically switch between groups or scrolling while using a DAW , and playing a song... Show more

    Love this app
    I use this constantly. It requires a bit of learning, but it's absolutley incredible if you need to make charts of chords, scales or arpeggios.

    Crashing
    It was going well for a few days now I cannot open the app. I have uninstalled the app multiple time and nothing is changing. Please help!
