  • Great app

    I’ve gotten a lot of use from this app. It has about everything you need to learn scales, chord and arpeggios. It’s a good solid reference for me.
  • Does a lot right, but has room for improvement.

    The chord and scale encyclopedias appear to be robust, however the UI could benefit from some flexibility.

    When viewing scales, I'd like the option of resizing the skeumorphic fretboard into some of the space above where I don't need so many lines of scales in written form. A sliding window seems doable.

    Also, I'd like to be able to open multiple scale diagrams--say, Aeolian and Pentatonic, simultaneously. Other items would be more useful were they not buried in the settings--which guitar tuning to use, for example.

  • Excellent guitar reference

    There are two versions of this app on the Mac app store, one is free (and wasn't able to load content, including the store) and this $7.99 Total ed edition. Anyway, $7.99 is a bargain. This is the most comprehensive guitar reference I've ever seen on the Mac - and I've been doing computers and music for a long time! My only wish is that it displayed keys in the circle of fifths or fourths along the top, and more clearly displayed which key is selected. Overall though, it's really great.

  • Best resource for scales and everything else

    This app makes it super easy to find and look up scales, arpeggios and much more. No more google-ing and waisting time to find what you’re looking for. This app made me much more efficient and helped focus on actually practicing!
  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    This app is awesome! I wish I’d know about it sooner, could’ve saved me from wasting time and/or money on almost every other chord/scale app I’ve tried. I haven’t tried the tuner yet but I will asap(rewiring my guitar atm) and I’ll review - I have high hopes for it though, already!

    Thanks guys!

  • Nice Program Just Beware of the Tuner

    Overall, it is a good program that puts a lot of resources (Chords, Scales, etc) at your fingertips. However, I was never able to get the tuner to work reliably.

    Thanks for your kind works. Just make sure to use your built-in microphone for the tuner.
  • Go-to App

    This is my go-to app whenever I'm practicing guitar. I love how easy it is to find alternate chord fingerings, and I very much like their immense scale library.
  • Very great app

    Love this app specially the arpeggios. The helper of helpers!
  • Good App. Room for (critical) Improvement

    Just downloaded and although there's a ton of theory info and useful information, there are two major items that need attention:

    1. Metronome Volume Adjustment (it's unuseable if trying to practice with, in my case UAD Console. Sure, I can turn down the volume but I also turn down the guitar deeming metronome useless..

    2. Playback BPM Adjustment. The playback of scales (for example) whizzes by so fast, it's hard to verify notes when playing with guitar.

    I paid for full version and on the fence of requesting refund. Stay tuned...

    Developer Response

    Hi.  Thanks for the feedback. As already answered by email, the app is designed to work with the default system audio interface. This is due to internal compatibility with IOS devices. If you wish to use a multi channel external interface, you can always adjust the volume of your guitar channel to compensate the overall mix. As for the BPM playback. The intention is just to demonstrate how the pattern scale you selected sounds, just like when you tap in a chord on the chord section. It is not intended to be used for you to follow playing at the same time but we took note of your suggestion. In any case, if you are not satisfied, please feel free to contact Apple customer service and request a refund. Best regards.
  • Holy Grail

    The scale [they] didn’t want us to see.
    Look up the 9 note blues scale and you’ll begin to see and hear all the songs that inspired you to play guitar to begin with.
    Screen mirror the app to your smart TV and start creating. This app is all you’ll ever need. It’s worth every dime.
