About this app

40 great tools for learning, composing and playing for students or professional musicians. Everything works equally well for guitar, ukulele, bass or many other stringed instruments. Expect THE reference for chords, scales and picking patterns for any tuning. Or THE songbook with access to the world's largest catalogs of lyrics, chords and TABs.

Only the best should be good enough. Expect a best-integrated set of tools. Basics like tuner, metronome or circle of fifths. But just better. The tuner has e.g. an extra string change mode or the metronome a speed trainer.

The ultimate chord library knows every chord and fingering for every instrument and tuning. Without exception! Conversely, there is a chord name for any fingering.

A songbook that is second to none. It finds every song imaginable with chords for any tuning and instrument. Without registration and account. It converts songs for guitar independently for ukulele, bass or banjo. Or vice versa from ukulele to guitar, etc. Of course with the corresponding chords and favorite fingerings. Incredibly functional: Intelligent line break, auto scroll, zoom, audio and video player, drum machine, YouTube integration, pedal support, online editor and viewer, and much more.

Scales galore. Play the scales with all kinds of patterns. Like the pros. And also sometimes different from what you are used to. Provides the diatonic chords for every scale and vice versa.

Expect extraordinary tools like a fingerpicking trainer, a transposer or a tone generator. Or a drum machine for songbook accompaniment or as a rhythm trainer. Or the innovative scale circle. It applies the principle of the circle of fifths to hundreds of scales and modes.

Comprehensive, sophisticated, feature-rich, easy to use and the basic (free) version is usable, and ad free, for a beginner on the guitar (me), without the continual distraction of cross-selling. I'll upgrade in due course because of this positive experience. Recommended. UPDATE I've upgraded to Unlimited and continue to enjoy using this app on an almost daily basis. My only slightly negative comment is that I can't (yet) install and use this on my iOS tablet. Still recommended. :+)

I bloody well love this app, I must do, I have paid for unlimited 3 times. Warning don't get locked out of and not able to recover account that you used when you paid for the subscription. If that happens you loose your subscription and you can't get it redeemed. This is the one app that I really want unlimited but I'm not paying $40 Au for 4 th time. 👍🧑‍🎤🎸🤘⚡ I recommend highly to all musos this app is a must have wether you are a beginner just about to play there first note to the Clapton'

Hands down the only app you would ever need for guitar. I highly highly recommend just buying the one-time payment unlock everything forever in-app purchase. I'm just an honest person giving it honest review and this app by far has to be the most comprehensive apps for guitar but it's not limited to only guitar neither. If they offer a free trial you will see very quick the magnitude of this app. 5 out of 5, is not still not a high enough rating 10 out of 5. There is a free version but limited.
