    A cornerstone to my improvement
    I’ve found that when I want to learn a new lick or song my hands are already ready for it, dexterity-wise, which makes picking up new songs go much faster. I’ve been using it regularly for about four years. Unexpectedly, it greatly improved my tab reading. I usually use this as warm up to practice. I’ll do five various, two-minute exercises, it’s something I don’t have think much about and can just jump in and knock out a workout and then do whatever’s next. Show more

    A great app to help practice
    This is a great free app to help give you things to actually practice rather than boring scales over and over. Highly recommend!

    Best little practice tool I have on my phone.
    I love this app, it helps round out basic practice skills with explanations and a wide variety of different drills. I use it as prescribed and I have more discipline for daily practice. Structured plans help me a lot and adding a metronome to the skill drills has greatly improved my overall speed. I have have also seen noticeable improvement in both learning new songs or improvising. Get it now!!! Show more

    Great Practice App BUT...
    Please please please for the love of user interface design add a + or - button to the tempo adjuster. It’s so frustrating trying to get the blasted slider to be at a specific tempo. Also, add a spot where I can take notes for each exercise and fix the whack rhythm displayed for the C303 exercise. Other than these I live this app. Thanks for making it. Show more

    Great addition to daily practice routine.
    This app is a great addition to your daily guitar practice routine no matter what level of guitarist you are. I like the way each exercise is broken down to explain the theory involved. Show more

    Really useful
    One of the few guitar apps I regularly use. Helps discipline my practicing and keeps me on track. Nothing fancy, just a useful tool.

  • Govols46, 24.04.2016
    Excellent app for improving technique
    I have used this app for nearly two years - I use the exercises as a warm up at the beginning of most of my practice sessions. They have helped me improve my speed, dexterity of both hands, rhythm, and my ear for various notes and scales. Show more

    Love it
    Perfect app for helping somebody with very clumsy fingers like myself. Have made a ton of improvement over the six months I've been using it

    Comprehensive warm-up and practice routine
    Practicing guitar can be daunting (and boring) without some sense of direction. This app provides a comprehensive practice routine touching on the most essential guitar skills. The 5-section practice progression (warm-up, coordination, ear training, stamina, and rhythm) is an excellent approach to daily practice. This app not only builds the motor skills and dexterity necessary for solid guitar playing, but it also builds your ear for common progressions and improves your familiarity with the neck of the guitar. With all of this said, I do have one bit of criticism. On many of the exercises, the recommended picking pattern is only provides for the first couple of notes. I would be very pleased if the developer would include the entire picking pattern for each exercise (this would be particularly helpful for the exercises containing arpeggios). This would be a quick and easy fix, and it would ensure that users get the most of each exercise without wondering if they're picking is correct. Despite this minor flaw, I am highly satisfied with this app, as it allows me to sit down with my guitar and practice with a sense of direction. This app is an e great way to warm up your fingers and become more fluid in your playing. Show more

    Spelled Practice Wrong
    Not high hopes when the first introduction is to go and "practise" Will update when I've used the app more
  • StilLearningGuitar, 26.03.2014
    Great app for the purpose
    I used David’s book “The Ten Minute Guitar Workout” and really liked it, so this was a no-brainer. Does just what it promises: provides loads of two minute workouts to get your fingers moving. Has really improved my speed and dexterity on the guitar. Show more

    Experienced or beginner this ones great
    After looking for a good workout just to keep my fingers loose, I found it in Guitar Gym. I have been playing for over 40 years and tried load of other teaching apps, some really good ones. But this was the one I needed. I even dropped my ego and started at the beginning and was amazed at just how much my playing has improved. I did cheat a bit at first and went straight for the harder exercises, true. But to get the best forget how good you are and find out you can still learn lot. Really it's about getting your hand loose again, maybe stretching a little. Excellent and worth the low price Show more
