  • Great app, but just a suggestion.

    This is a great app, I love the purpose behind it. I feel with time it will greatly help me to become a better guitar player. However, I would caution saying this app could be suited for beginners. Personally in my experience most beginners have zero theory knowledge. And even for those beginners who are learning theory, I feel this app could be a bit advanced and maybe even a little discouraging for them. Beginning players usually benefit from song audio references, scale and chord diagrams and what not, and I feel this app has a different focus in mind. I would suggest aiming this app at the intermediate to advanced player in terms of theory, not playability. Some people may get the wrong idea if they don’t read all of the literature from the website. Other than that, keep up the great work!

  • Good but could be better

    I have learned a lot about my lack of fretboard knowledge through this app. It’s too early to know if this actually improves my playing or improvising. One feature I would like is to ask for is generating a single random note to improve fretboard knowledge. The scale exercises aren’t truly random. Unless you leave the session it will use the same “random” pattern. I would also like the scale exercises to repeat automatically like the chord exercises. Oh and the developers do not respond to questions.

  • Fantastic practice tool.

    Tom and David have developed a practice tool that can help a beginner as well as an advanced player. I have had it since it went live and have barely scratched the surface of what the app can do. Solo is a part of my daily practice routine. Thanks guys!!
  • Start Here!

    Excellent improvisational tool. Start here with note detection and mastering the fretboard before venturing off into target note practice, intervallic pattern practice, linear playing, pentatonic scales, modal practice, altered scale soloing or practicing licks. This app will be added to my bibliography and cited in my dissertation! Thank you!

  • Jacob Singer

    A great practice tool for guitarists looking to take their game to the next level by playing through the changes. Well worth the money. Might feel pricey for an app but cheaper than an instructional book and better designed than most scale books. This app always has me working at my limits. It is frustrating in the best possible way because I know I am learning something new.

  • Perfect Practice Tool

    The SOLO app teamed up with my iPad Pro, EVO 4 interface, and Headphones allow me to have a small footprint practice form near my bedside to learn and practice at anytime with ease. A wonderful tool and well worth the $15 US dollars. Bravo - Tom, David, and others involved!
  • Actually fun

    Truly the first app ever where I’m actually having fun learning scales and intervals. Great job to all who built this.
  • Essential for serious guitarists

    Essential for interval visualization, can’t wait for what they’re gonna bring to this app in future updates.
  • Very efficient

    Over many years i have spent a lot of cash on music books, videos, cd’s, incompetent teaching methods, name it iv’e probably owned it. You could say that i am a well rounded guitar manipulator, as the saying goes “a player of many, a master of none”. This app is exactly what it says, it is a help- mate. Meaning, no matter what curriculum you choose it all comes down to putting your time in.
    This app will give you some very powerful platforms to work from, its up to you to perform those platforms. I would honestly and will, tell my friends about this app, because it has substance with only as much difficulty to challenge you to put your time in. For me, I have over the years been very fortunate to be in bands as a vocalist, not having to play guitar all the time. But really, within those bands I was left behind as far as guitar abilities. So, my point is, yes get this app, but don’t forget you must put in the time. You cannot avoid it, if you wish to fulfill your dreams, do your time.
    I wish you all of the fortune out there to get. Godbless
    And to those who created this app, job well done, i will use this app as a reference for work, and also when i practice. I practice no less than 3 hours a day, and sometimes up and to 8 hours. Goodluck
    Everyone

  • Nice app but one suggestion

    Seems like a great app and the tutorials included in the app are helpful to get the most out of the app. One suggestion would be to have the chords playing in the background so that I could hear say what the major 3rd sounds like in relation with the chord. That would make the app for me
