Leave a Review Solo
Contains a bunch of nice exercises
This app gives an aspiring jazz artist a big arsenal of common turnarounds/pieces to practice with to build up a good core to further branch out from. My only suggestion is to expand the app to feature some further other instruments as well (such as piano).nOoMeLoDy
Best app for truly learning something of importance on the guitar
This is a fantastic tool for any intermediate to advanced guitarists to get to that next level of a practical understanding of improvisingshitrick
cool but….
i’m only five minutes into using it and I feel a little scammed which is surprising because I really like Tom Quayle and his stuff. It might just be my microphone on my iphone 10 is bad but i just openned up the scales exercises doing A dorian, i play A twice and the app counts it as the first AND 2nd note in the scale….like is this a joke….the whole point is for the app to track your notes accurately and individually and it wont even let me practice a basic scale without accidentally picking up notes im not playing. AND when it does work, it wont recognize the notes if i play faster than about 100 bpm up and down the scale….very disappointed 😞Show lessmax1z2j6h

I'm sorry this isn't working well for you so far. Calibration is very important, especially when using the built in microphone. Please check out this video that Tom made about getting the best out of calibration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soSVX2G-ROQ. If you're still having issues please contact us at support@solotrainer.app and we'll do our best to get you fully working.Not what I wanted
This is for guitar players that already have the entire fretboard memorized and know each note and each scale and chord configuration up and down the neck. It will show you the next chord or note to play but no tabs or any indication of where that note or chord falls on the fretboard. How simple would it be to show a quick diagram of the notes on the fret board or the chords for each change? I seriously want a refund but I suppose those don’t happen so I can only suggest an update that shows the tablature for each suggested note or chord.
Add tabs please!!!Show lessroryfp

I'm really sorry that solo didn't work out for you. There are ways to use solo to gain the knowledge you're seeking. Please contact us at support@solotrainer.app and we'd be happy to show you some ways or point you in a good direction.Don’t understand the benefit
I don’t think this app is good for beginners. If you’re a beginner, you don’t even know what intervals are yet. Not only that, even if you do know what they are, there’s no way you have the intervals memorized for the various scales.
When the app tells you an interval value (1,4,b7) it’s going to take a while to figure out where they are. I also don’t see how this is reinforcing anything nor is it really teaching you much as far as I can tell.
Perhaps because I leaned scales as “patterns” my brain is not used to this but this is not helpful for me.Show lessChris Berry 2

Hi Chris, I'm sorry you're not getting what you wanted from Solo. We'd love to help you get more from the app and understand how to use it, please contact us at support@solotrainer.app and we'll do what we can to help you. That being said Solo is a practice tool more than a tuition app. It is meant to help you practice the things you're learning and give you feedback about when you're hitting the correct notes for your practice so that you can remove that portion of the load from yourself while practicing. There are videos that suggest ways to use Solo and also more videos available on our YouTube channel. Some dealing with more beginner oriented topics. Please contact us though as its the easiest way to help you.Must have tool for fretboard visualization
I learned about this app by listening to “The Guitar Hour” podcast.
Such an amazing tool to aid in fretboard visualization! Simply brilliant. The flexibility of this app allows one to drill all sorts of important fretboard visualization approaches in creative ways. Triads. Seven chords. Scales. Jazz standard progressions. There is a lot here!Show lessBBraun
Love this tool
A versatile and powerful tool to learn the fretboard and get fluent on your chord tone vocabulary. I use it for warm up every day and as an exercise workout on other occasions. Highly recommend.paul.findurmas
Best Guitar Training App Out There
Wish I had this a long time ago. I’ve been follow Tom and buying his courses for a while now and I’ve always liked his style of teaching. As soon as I heard he developed an app, I was all over it. It’s very intuitive and there’s absolutely no fluff! The only thing I wish it had was a function that randomized the next scale after each time you complete the previous one.Show lessPersistence Properties
Good practice tool... but
Super great app. The only thing I want added is the ability to choose the chords I want to work on. So my only option isn’t just the songs that come with the app.mcjesse69
Missing link of guitar training apps
For me it reduces nebulousness of all possible guitar neck exercises to a sequence of specific, bite-size activities which I can focus on day to day without feeling bored or overwhelmed.Happychocobo
