2.0.0

January 25, 2024

We're super excited to bring you Solo v2! For this new version we've re-imagined what the experience of Solo should be, offering a much more complete learning and practice tool for players at ALL levels. To achieve this new vision we've included: - ‣An updated, intuitive design with two powerful new trainers, making Solo MUCH more accessible and useful for beginner and intermediate players. ‣The Note Trainer allows you to work on finding notes names and basic root notes with practice suggestions to guide your workouts. Solo challenges you to find randomised root notes on the neck and confirms when the chosen note has been played. ‣The Interval Trainer allows you to work on finding Intervallic Function shapes, the key to unlocking true freedom on the fretboard. Select a single interval to work with or create any combination of intervals to find against either a fixed or randomised root note on the neck. ‣Both new trainers feature optional onscreen interactive fretboards that react to what you play, enhancing the learning experience during your workouts. Solo includes fretboards for 6 and 7 string guitars, 4 and 5 string bass and even supports Tom Quayle's own 4ths tuning. ‣Other new features include: Duration based workouts, allowing you to set timers for your practice sessions in the Note, Interval and Scale trainers. ‣The Changes Trainer now offers truly random transposition upon repeat. For example, select one of the common chord progressions (such as a Major II-V-I) or single chord types and Solo can now randomly choose a new key (or root note for single chord types) every time you complete the progession. ‣We’ve included 50 new jazz standards, new changes trainer levels plus new exercise progressions. ‣Solo also now remembers the last thing you were doing in each trainer, so you can continue practicing right where you left off.

Description of Solo

Solo is the ultimate practice App for mastering fretboard visualization, designed by world renowned guitarists Tom Quayle and David Beebee. Four powerful fretboard trainers allow you to work intuitively on each aspect of the visualization process; learning note names, memorising interval shapes, outlining chord changes, and practicing scales. Solo asks you to find intervallic functions against one root note, chord symbol or scale at a time, listens to the notes you play, and doesn’t move on until you’ve correctly found each note by its intervallic function in the specified order. Practice with Solo and finally learn your note names, master interval shapes, confidently play through chord changes and break out of scale boxes with intervallic functions. Start transforming your playing and confidence on the fretboard today! NOTE TRAINER The Note Trainer is perfect for beginner and intermediate players getting to grips with note names on the neck - the foundation of solid fretboard knowledge. ‣ Solo shows you random root notes to find and listens, waiting for you to get it correct. ‣ Slide on the interactive fretboards for helpful diagrams and to study alternative options. Choose from 6 string guitar (standard and 4ths tuning), 7 string guitar, 4 string bass & 5 string bass. ‣ Optional practice suggestions offer challenging ways to limit and test yourself. ‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session. INTERVAL TRAINER The Interval Trainer will help players at all levels work on interval shapes with intervallic functions - the key to unlocking true freedom on the fretboard. ‣ Choose any combination of intervallic functions to practice. ‣ Create custom interval groups or choose the intervals for ANY chord type or scale. ‣ The Interval Trainer will randomise your chosen intervals and ask you to find them against either a fixed or random root note. ‣ Slide on the interactive fretboards for helpful diagrams, showing you where all of the interval shapes are across the neck, and to study alternative options. Choose from 6 string guitar (standard and 4ths tuning), 7 string guitar, 4 string bass & 5 string bass. ‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session. CHANGES TRAINER In the Changes Trainer you find intervallic functions, using single notes to outline different chord types or sets of chord changes, a key skill for learning to improvise through chord changes. ‣ Practice outlining intervallic functions through over 100 common chord progressions and single chord exercises. ‣ 50 intervallic function levels. Go from simple chord tones to complex melodic structures and scales. ‣ Solo intelligently maps out the correct intervals over each chord and listens for you to play each intervallic function in the specified order. ‣ Powerful workout options provide almost limitless ways to challenge yourself. ‣ Transpose the key of any progression or exercise. ‣ Choose to randomly transpose the progression (or single chord exercise) each time it repeats. ‣ Work on voice leading chord tones through single note lines. SCALE TRAINER The Scale Trainer contains a vast array of scales and powerful workout options, allowing you to finally break out of the box and develop a much deeper understanding of how scales are constructed on the fretboard. ‣ Practice finding scales on the fretboard using intervallic functions. ‣ Over 50+ Scales and modes. ‣ Powerful workout options provide almost limitless ways to challenge yourself. ‣ Melodic sequence options let you focus on starting from any chord tone within the scale. ‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session.

  • Really great! But…

    Love this app. But as someone who bought it just to learn the note names on the fretboard I can’t believe there isn’t an option to choose just the natural notes or perhaps a key.
    It seems like a small thing but having to practice with all the note names: natural, sharp, flat and enharmonic is too many when starting out.
    Something as simple as a “natural notes only” option would be huge.

  • This is the approach I ended up with after 45 years of playing.

    Wow, where I would have gone if I started from here. I followed everything I just never had a place to start. I feel inspired to hit the woodshed again.

    For physical limitations I had to go from acoustic guitar to electric, then to ukulele and now baritone ukulele. The loss of the 6th and 5th string really forced me to learn the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd strings that I only kind of knew. I can see where Solo where really assist me. ANY CHANCE FOR A BARITONE UKULELE PROFILE (d g b e)? :)

  • Abandoned by Developers - Decent App as it Sits

    Good app for what it does, but don’t expect a ton of development or bug fixes / innovation from the developers. This was a fairly expensive application that has since been largely abandoned by David and Tom. I’ve had a few email exchanges with David about it and they always seem to have something in the works, but nothing ever comes of it.

    So, for what this app does today, it works well, but when you purchase an app for $10, I’d expect a little bit more in terms of future updates and innovation. Personally it kind of feels like a money grab if I’m being honest.
