Sadly It Doesnt Work

This app is a great idea however it doesnt pick up the audio and therefore doesnt work. I have to crank my amp for it to pick up notes and even then it really has no clue half the time. It sucks all the enjoyment from practicing and I gave up on it in the first 3 days. Save your money and just pay attention to the shapes youre playing.

Response from developer

Sorry you're having a tough time with Solo. Make sure you've gone through the calibration as that makes a huge difference in how well the app can pick up notes. You definitely should not be having this issue. If it continues please contact support so we can get you more detailed suggestions.

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)? :)

Triads

I love your Solo creation, been using it since the inception love the Solo 2 upgrade as well. I was hoping to see intervalic movement pertaining to triads, either that or I just missed it, anyway brilliant app. Thankyou for developing it for us unworthy guitar players lol…

Note naming

I’ve been playing for years and never gotten round to learning the fretboard fully. Although not optimising it’s full capabilities I do feel I’ve improved my knowledge of the second and third strings in particular. I’m now looking forward to further exploration of what the app can teach to fill in the gaps I have ignored in the past.

Very useful tool

Does exactly what it describes and is an invaluable tool for learning intervallic functions and fretboard visualisation. The UI and note detector could be improved upon though.

Great way to learn the fretboard intimately

Great app - could use a tuner though

Awesome job!

Great App updates! I liked them so much that I even bit the bullet and joined the associated course.

Would love to be able to see assignable colours in conjunction with the interval. For visual learning this adds another level of depth.

I look forward to seeing more of this project!

Loved the update

New update is great and easy to work with, nice interface. Loved it

Now Even Better!

I’ve been using Solo since it launched (sometime around lockdown). I have always waxed lyrical about this app to all of my students.

Fast forward to Version 2.0 and Solo is even better. With so
Many options to chose from and so much functionality, Tom and David have given guitarists the best fretboard visualisation app money can buy.

Thanks, guys!
