if you could do chords or double stops this app would be perfect, it only quizzes you on one note but its worth the price and very fun to use.

Very great app! Already learning and it's only been 30 minutes. A plus. Very good. Must buy for guitarists.

This app is very easy to use and adaptable to my progress. I am just learning to play guitar and have no experience in reading music but have improved quickly from using it. I've not had any problem making the jump from the flat fret UI to the 3D real thing. It's fun, like a game. Show more

This is a great way to work on my sight reading scales when I'm away from my guitar. Good number of options.

I downloaded version 1.0 and this has come a long way. You've shown that you are improving! Love it! I still agree with a "game type" version, and still am hoping for a way to plug my guitar in or use the mic to play the note on my guitar with this. I have high hopes!! Thank you! Show more

Solid app Only cripe would be that you can only test yourself in treble clef, if you could switch to bass clef that would be handy

This will certainly help me learn the notes on the guitar, but it could be a lot better. Areas I would like to see improved: 1) Needs better UI. Looks pretty low budget right now. 2) Needs better guitar sound(s). 3) Really needs to add more of a game like element to keep users interested. Show more

What I was looking for. I know how to play the piano. Received 5 yrs of class . Trying now the guitar and I am having a real hard time with the location of the notes in the fretboard along with the staff. This is what I was looking for. Plus it has the sound. High five Show more

Guitar player never looks at the fret board the way it is presented in this app. unless the guitar is hanging on the wall or lying on guitarist knees as a horizontal slide guitar. That is why visually the perception of the fret board is confusing and essentially not helping to develop the right skill. Other apps have more realistic presentation of the fret board in "perspective". Please make an option to change the fret board presentation. In new version I like tapered guitar better, I would advice developer to keep working on the fret board presentation. Fret grouping is a little awkward. Should be 0-5, 5-7, 7-10, 10-12. Four stars for now. Show more

I'm in the process of going back and cleaning up some neglected skills. About a month with this $3.00 app, and I'll be closer to where I'm trying to go.I figure that"s quite a bargain for $.10 a day. I even spent 2 years going to Berkleemusic online; I know my fretboard in every way, know my scales, can hold my own in any mix, yet I managed to get behind in my reading ability thanks to the crutches that are better known as tabs. Enough!!! Schools out. Great app. Lots of room for growth for the beginner to the person just looking to sharpen their skills. Incorporate chords next please. The basic ones are easy to figure out in notation; need help with the tensions. Lol. Show more

I cant live without it

Does exactly what it says it will. For beginning guitarists (like me) it's a great tool for learning your way around the fret board. Even for seasoned guitarists it can serve as a good refresher course. Totally worth it if you really want to learn note positions on the guitar. Show more

The app does what it is supposed to do and quite well. I'm a little astonished actually. My guitar sight reading has improved 150% in less than 24hrs! I went from 30% accuracy to 75% in less than a day. In all fairness, I was warmed up with an app called NoteBrainer though. Like that app, this app could use a game and scoring option. So you can at least compete against yourself for a predefined set of time. Check out Notebainer to see what I'm talking about. Other improvements: better sound quality and is there an option to learn scales? Other than that i cant believe I'm site reading guitar! Fantastic job. Keep up the good work. Show more

This app is great for learning and all you need instead of a ten dollar guitar book! Great app but should include chords too

Worth it. Now add bass guitar and it would be perfect!

I used this app for 5 seconds, and have seen quick improvement already. Keep working on this! Features maybe like a melody trainer would make this perfect. Also, please make it easier to touch the open string options; it can be a pain at the moment. Show more

I love this app. Been trying to learn guitar for years. I know the value of being able t sightread music and this app ties it together. The app is a bit of a no-frills app, as there is not much customizing you can do. For example I would like an option to leave the sharps and flats off. Also if it had a "review" type lesson that would show you the notes on certain strings. Practice mode is close but you just pick what note you want to see. Still if you want to learn music and the notes on the guitar I reccomend this. If you can't sightread at all you might check out another app to learn that first. I suggest iReadMusic app it rocks. But then get this app too. Show more

I have played guitar for many years, and always used TABS and chords to figure them out. Now I am ready to advance to sight reading and wish I had done this when I first began. This little tool is very handy for drilling the notes on the fret board. In a few minutes, I had improved my knowledge noticeably. It's easy to understand, and, given the constraints on my iPod (small screen and big clumsy fingers), is well designed. Only dificulty is that when designating a note, you must touch the close to the fret rather than area behind the fret where my finger would actually land when playing the note. The point where the app decides which fret you are designating seems to be halfway between frets and when I touch where my finger would really land, it could select the fret above or below. This isn't too dificult to get the hang of . . . . and not a deal killer for me deciding to buy this. It's not loaded down with fancy features and does what it's supposed to do. It's a great application to hone skills while waiting at the dentist, airport, or on a break at the office. Others my argue that it might not be worth the 2.99 that I paid, but for me, it is a bargain. Heck, I would have thrown in another penny to make it an even $3.00. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is just a tool and I don't want to mislead others into thinking this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Show more
