Leave a Review URBAN Guitar
Terrible app for new players
The instruction and speed is way too fast. I have been learning with Mel Bay and Hal Leonard for nine months and know how to sight read from first position, know all major , minor and 7th chord shapes and this is way too advanced. First song with a D minor? Not the easiest chord to hit as a beginner. Four finger G major chord before mastering three finger method? Introducing varied strum patterns in song #2? Trying to sip from a fire hose with this one. Guitar is a decent starter, but forget trying to learn with this app.Show lessDoyle Hargreaves
Rhythm “tutorial”
During the rhythm lessons, the drum is playing a different tempo than what you supposed to be strumming. You’re better off skipping those or playing them on mute.This/Is/Mine?
App gets “stuck”
Now that I am into the “songs” part of the lessons, I can’t seem to go back and review previous lessons.
I deleted the app and am going to attempt to get back to the desired lesson(s).
Was really hoping for more with Keith Urban involved. I like the lady he has teaching, but Keith is not really involved. Shame, cause he is awesome!

Hi Steve, sorry for this! Please send us your support question to support@uberchord.com while we are trying to fix the other email address. Thanks SimonWhy only one guitar?
I like the app, it has amazing resources and it has people who really know what they are doing. But it is a bit aggravating that it won’t let you use any other Yamaha guitar and it requires you to use a specific guitar. I don’t want to spend $250 on a guitar to use an app when I could just use the guitar I already have. If it could please be possible to make it so it lets you use any Yamaha guitar that would be awesome.Show lessOnly one guitar
App keeps crashing
I’ve been working on practicing the rhythms of some of the songs and half way through the exercises the app crashes and closes, losing all the progress put it. It causes me to start from the beginning of the exercise and and not allowing me to work on the cords that need practice. This is the only issue I’ve came across so far; but other than that I’ve enjoyed the app and the walkthroughs. I would like it they thought you how you’re properly suppose to strum; or how to better use your right hand.Show lessVolTage Dubstep

Hi Voltage, thank you for your review. We are aware of these crashes and are working hard to fix them. We will be releasing an app update soon that will prevent some of them. If you are willing to help us get behind this problem, it would be great if you could write to us directly at support@uberchord.com and tell us your username and the steps that lead to a crash. This would be very helpful!It’s alright
I’m kinda aggravating just spent a lot of time making so much progress just for it to be thrown away because it didn’t save and now I have to start the lesson over and lost all my exp but you know it’s funkshdkn

Hi Des, sorry to hear that you have problems registering your guitar. Please contact us at support@uberchord.com and we will solve this. Thanks SimonCan’t register my guitar
The app won’t let me register my guitar. It’s a Ibanez acoustic/Electric. I really wanted to do this app and it just won’t let me use my guitar to continue lessons. Which I would get a Keith Urban guitar but I would like to use mine. I see no point in spending money for a guitar when I already have a really good one.Show lessBecky0023

Hi Becky, I understand that this must be frustrating for you. But you have to understand that the development and maintenance of the URBAN Guitar app cost a lot of money and the business model is to bundle it with a specific guitar. We are currently discussing other ways of monetizing the app. So keep a look out. In the future there might be a subscription available for owners of other guitars. In the meantime, I can recommend our other app "Uberchord". It does not feature Keith, though... With best regards Simon (Uberchord co-founder)
