Appmuse

This app gives an aspiring jazz artist a big arsenal of common turnarounds/pieces to practice with to build up a good core to further branch out from. My only suggestion is to expand the app to feature some further other instruments as well (such as piano). Show more

This is a fantastic tool for any intermediate to advanced guitarists to get to that next level of a practical understanding of improvising

i’m only five minutes into using it and I feel a little scammed which is surprising because I really like Tom Quayle and his stuff. It might just be my microphone on my iphone 10 is bad but i just openned up the scales exercises doing A dorian, i play A twice and the app counts it as the first AND 2nd note in the scale….like is this a joke….the whole point is for the app to track your notes accurately and individually and it wont even let me practice a basic scale without accidentally picking up notes im not playing. AND when it does work, it wont recognize the notes if i play faster than about 100 bpm up and down the scale….very disappointed ? Show more

This is for guitar players that already have the entire fretboard memorized and know each note and each scale and chord configuration up and down the neck. It will show you the next chord or note to play but no tabs or any indication of where that note or chord falls on the fretboard. How simple would it be to show a quick diagram of the notes on the fret board or the chords for each change? I seriously want a refund but I suppose those don’t happen so I can only suggest an update that shows the tablature for each suggested note or chord. Add tabs please!!! Show more

I don’t think this app is good for beginners. If you’re a beginner, you don’t even know what intervals are yet. Not only that, even if you do know what they are, there’s no way you have the intervals memorized for the various scales. When the app tells you an interval value (1,4,b7) it’s going to take a while to figure out where they are. I also don’t see how this is reinforcing anything nor is it really teaching you much as far as I can tell. Perhaps because I leaned scales as “patterns” my brain is not used to this but this is not helpful for me. Show more

I bought an iPad for this app. I was waiting for Android version to drop. It’s ironic that it came out today. Now I’ll have on both my droid phone and iPad. Thanks for this tool! Show more

I learned about this app by listening to “The Guitar Hour” podcast. Such an amazing tool to aid in fretboard visualization! Simply brilliant. The flexibility of this app allows one to drill all sorts of important fretboard visualization approaches in creative ways. Triads. Seven chords. Scales. Jazz standard progressions. There is a lot here! Show more

Amazing!! Such a powerful practice tool.

A versatile and powerful tool to learn the fretboard and get fluent on your chord tone vocabulary. I use it for warm up every day and as an exercise workout on other occasions. Highly recommend. Show more

Wish I had this a long time ago. I’ve been follow Tom and buying his courses for a while now and I’ve always liked his style of teaching. As soon as I heard he developed an app, I was all over it. It’s very intuitive and there’s absolutely no fluff! The only thing I wish it had was a function that randomized the next scale after each time you complete the previous one. Show more

Super great app. The only thing I want added is the ability to choose the chords I want to work on. So my only option isn’t just the songs that come with the app. Show more

For me it reduces nebulousness of all possible guitar neck exercises to a sequence of specific, bite-size activities which I can focus on day to day without feeling bored or overwhelmed. Show more

This is a great app, I love the purpose behind it. I feel with time it will greatly help me to become a better guitar player. However, I would caution saying this app could be suited for beginners. Personally in my experience most beginners have zero theory knowledge. And even for those beginners who are learning theory, I feel this app could be a bit advanced and maybe even a little discouraging for them. Beginning players usually benefit from song audio references, scale and chord diagrams and what not, and I feel this app has a different focus in mind. I would suggest aiming this app at the intermediate to advanced player in terms of theory, not playability. Some people may get the wrong idea if they don’t read all of the literature from the website. Other than that, keep up the great work! Show more

I have learned a lot about my lack of fretboard knowledge through this app. It’s too early to know if this actually improves my playing or improvising. One feature I would like is to ask for is generating a single random note to improve fretboard knowledge. The scale exercises aren’t truly random. Unless you leave the session it will use the same “random” pattern. I would also like the scale exercises to repeat automatically like the chord exercises. Oh and the developers do not respond to questions. Show more

Works great, very efficient for learning the freatboard.

Tom and David have developed a practice tool that can help a beginner as well as an advanced player. I have had it since it went live and have barely scratched the surface of what the app can do. Solo is a part of my daily practice routine. Thanks guys!! Show more

This is a good tool but could become FANTASTIC with the following additions; The ability to play a synth chord pad underneath each chord so you can really hear the intervals against the chord. This would be HUGE. I noticed Tom Quayle had exactly that going while demonstrating the app on his YouTube video. Please? Consider adding a metronome to be able to challenge yourself to keep up to a certain tempo, also it’s musical (especially with the synth playing the chord in the background). This would also help if the app is having trouble hearing the guitar so you can just move on without having to hit a note a few times in a row just so the app can recognize that you hit the correct note. The ability to add your own chord progressions would be nice. Show more

Excellent improvisational tool. Start here with note detection and mastering the fretboard before venturing off into target note practice, intervallic pattern practice, linear playing, pentatonic scales, modal practice, altered scale soloing or practicing licks. This app will be added to my bibliography and cited in my dissertation! Thank you! Show more

A great practice tool for guitarists looking to take their game to the next level by playing through the changes. Well worth the money. Might feel pricey for an app but cheaper than an instructional book and better designed than most scale books. This app always has me working at my limits. It is frustrating in the best possible way because I know I am learning something new. Show more

The SOLO app teamed up with my iPad Pro, EVO 4 interface, and Headphones allow me to have a small footprint practice form near my bedside to learn and practice at anytime with ease. A wonderful tool and well worth the $15 US dollars. Bravo - Tom, David, and others involved! Show more
