Guitar Interval Ear Trainer User Reviews

Love it!!

I use a lot of apps to supplement my regular practice time with my guitar. This is a great addition to the collection. I've gotten pretty good at identifying intervals by ear, but this app helps me to connect those intervals directly to the guitar. There's a ton of configurable settings which makes it great for players of all levels. The only thing missing for me is multiple note melodies. It would be great if it could play 4-5 note sequences that you have to play back. :)

Great Trainer

4 stars as I have not checked out everything in the app. What I have used is excellent. Lots of setting features to tailor for your needs. Good test results. I would pay for this app.

Love this app!

I love this app. Looks beautiful, easy to use, easy to learn from, and great for ear training. One of the best. The sounds are amazing too.

GREAT LEARNING APP

I've been playing guitar most of my life and just recently began taking lessons. My instructor is focusing on intervals and hearing notes before they are played. I found this app to help me along and I will say it has advanced my interval/ear training by leaps and bounds.
My guitar playing has jumped to a different level since I started the interval/sound training. It would have taken so much longer without this app. It is a very simple app that will take your musical abilities to levels you never knew where there. Anyone wanting to go to the next step should use this app. I could see this app helping with any instrument you play.

Unbelievably responsive developer!

I ask for a unique tuning, he makes it for me overnight. Now he even has customizable position markers so now I even have my weird position markers, too. I suppose next he'll come up with a fretless option with the note circles shifted a bit up to where the frets were. (I can't bring myself to ask for that much, though.) What fantastic apps these are: Bass Sight and Guitar Intervals!

One new test option would make this fantastic

As an ear trainer, it's useful. But the one thing that would make this really useful for me is a reverse test - tell me the interval WITHOUT showing me the root, and then ask me to play the right note. When reading jazz charts, this is always the trickiest thing for me - to immediately grab the 3rd of a B chord, or the 7th of a G chord. Seems like it would be an easy add, and make the app more versatile as a drilling tool.

Outstanding

Too bad there is a maximum of 5 stars for the rating. This app is just an outstanding drill tool. If I must suggest some improvements, it would be tritone consistency: it's treated as flat 5, except it'c an F# for C. Nothing is wrong with that, but I found a great way for students to practice by calling out the notes before they play them, and up to speed this can confuse even the best of us. Maybe an option like tritones are either aug 4th or flat 5th.. Anyway, this is the best (pathetic) critique I could come up with for the app..
Just get it!

Nicely done

Lots of helpful features. A good solid way to practice and recognize intervals. Plenty of help available to explain difficult concepts and the layout works well. I like the voice guided testing mode so you can practice without looking at the screen. Well worth the money. I highly recommend this for combining ear training with guitar training.

The BEST!

I've tried 3 different ear training apps and this one is BY FAR the BEST one! I've been using this everyday. The options and level of control that it gives you over your own learning experience is awesome!
For example, I was having trouble distinguishing the difference between 5ths, 6ths, and 7ths. This app lets me test myself on ONLY those intervals if I want. This lets you focus on your weak areas or start your training small (only learning one or two intervals) and building it up from there!
It covers all keys and scales/modes. There are YEARS worth of learning in this app! What a GREAT tool for the serious musician. I highly recommend this app!!

Good App

Have taken beginners theory and ear training. This app is just what I was looking for to practice and reenforce the things I want learn about guitar at this time. Thank you.
