Appmuse

I’m using this app now to learn the first 5 frets one string at a time. Illuminates small sections of the bass clef.

The functionality on this app is extremely limited. Should be .99 max. Definitely not worth the current price. There are free apps that do what this app does plus much more. Avoid. Show more

This app works great even for my unusual six-string bass with odd tuning. Well thought out so it is extremely handy to use. I've used it for months now, whenever I get a few minutes. The more I use it, the faster I improve. I really enjoy using this app. Very conscientious developer re improvements. Very highly recommended for both learning the fingerboard and sight reading practice. Show more

This app is great for advanced or beginners. It's the perfect app to fill 30sec while waiting because it makes you a better player. I first used it because I was primarily a 4 string bass player and wanted to learn the 5 string. It allowed me to learn the fifth string incredibly fast and the knowledge surprisingly transferred to an actual 5 string bass very easily. For those more advanced I advise putting the timing to fastest speed and using the app. It's great for learning areas of the bass that you are weak at, even if you don't touch the exact note every time it still trains your brain where all the different note options are which is the whole point anyway.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!! I have had an iPhone since 2008, and this is the first review I've ever written; I like this App that much... I am very interested in learning to play Bass, and I'm confident this software will help me learn! The different learning modes are very useful. I'm in the process of learning the staff notes, and then I'll switch the mode and learn where those notes actually are! I highly recommend this App. Show more

This is perfect for learning or simply brushing-up on improving reading and note/sound correlation capabilities. One feature to add is to sound the note after it is correctly chosen (in test mode). (implement as a user option) This would assist in reinforcing the letter/position/ear training lesson. Also, slightly decrease the side of the test letter and box – slightly distracting. It would be cool for the string to slightly vibrate after tapping a note. (user option) Show more

Super basic but does what it says. Designed to only teach you one note at a time rather than chord tones/scales and musical sequences, maybe this can be added. Useful to the absolute beginner, for anyone else Music Theory Pro is more useful and less expensive. Would be 5 stars if it cost less. Show more

Very nice. Defiantly what I was looking for.

I had been playing bass for years having poor notation reading skills and slowly counting frets. This app trains you on bass clef notation, learning the notes on the fingerboard (up to the 12th fret), and drilling you in different training modes to identify, locate and match up notes and frets quickly. It tracks your progress in different fret groups. Recommended. Show more

This app is awesome! I'm learning the translation between my eye/brain/hand from sheet music to pressing the right fret. As soon as you press a fret, you see the note on the bass clef, which really helps the eye/hand coordination training. When you get really good at playing a musical instrument, you don't think A-D-G-D whatever, you see a note in a certain place and you put your hand on a fret (or a key). It's a reflex and an emotion rather than a mechanical thought process. At least for me, anyway. Thoughts for improvement: When I tap a note on the bass clef, it would be nice to see the fret(s) that correspond to that note. This is the reverse of what it is now (press a fret and see the note on the bass clef). Here's a cool idea… probably a totally separate app, but read in a power tab and show which frets are being played. Anyway, I've got about 3 other apps that are supposed to be similar in nature. This one is "the one". Show more

I've been wanting to learn how to read bass clef for a long time. This app was the perfect thing. Shows the staff as I play notes and has a test mode which is really nice. The test mode is "like" guitar hero and it makes the learning / practicing really fun and exciting. Buy it! Show more
