Comprehensive Overview of African Music
I have been searching for something like this for a long time. This app demystifies the huge umbrella category of "African music" and breaks it down into different styles from specific countries. The sheet music is very helpful to follow along, and I like how you can mute specific instruments to really understand each part of the groove. Plus, with this app, you get to play with African guitar master Lionel Loueke whenever you want!Show lessOjuoba
Wow
I just got this app today and have been pouring over it. Absolutely fantastic app. Lionel Loueke is one of the greatest guitarists/musicians alive and his bassist, Massimo Bialcati, is a great app designer as well as a great bassist. I was at a club hearing them a few years ago and Lionel said, "Massimo has a new app you should check out." It was IRealBook which is one of the best apps ever and has evolved beautifully.
This app shows the same level of care. The tunes are gorgeous and span a vast range of African countries and styles. The ability to mute and solo whatever parts you want as well as loop and slow down any section makes learning much easier. What a fantastic treasure trove of tunes and styles there are here. I've never seen a better learning tool for African Guitar (though there is a cool book with midi files called African Guitar styles I think that's pretty great, too).
Having audiobus so you can record and rearrange the tunes any way you want is fantastic. So many possibilities. I'm looking forward to many happy hours and much learning with this app.Show lessNicknamepissesmeoff
A new page in the history of jazz !
To me this App is one of the most fascinating and illuminating Apps ever made. All of the musical examples are so stimulating. For musicians looking to expand their harmonic - rhythmic and melodic vocabulary, that's the real deal!detroit428
Fun times in Africa
I love this app! Learning to play guitar can be frustrating for me, so being able to play along with these funky tunes is a revelation. Not only am I learning all these African music styles that I didn't know about, it's also super fun. It doesn't feel like learning or practice. I'm totally playing with Lionel Loueke and a band...if I close my eyes. Woot!!Show lessStarfish::
Finally a great guitar app!!
This is truly an amazing achievement! Lionel is a master in both playing and demonstrating how to perform the vast and rich musical tradition of his continent.
The sound is impressive and the app is very clear on how to get these guitar techniques in your hands. The compositions are beautiful and inspiring. The notation is very clear and useful. All in all a great learning tool!!Show lessJuancho Herrera

Awesome Amazing African App
The songs are so beautiful! I'm having a blast playing along with them. Some of them are hard but I'm looking forward to learn something totally new on the guitar. There's so much material to discover and the option to slow down and repeat a section is very helpful.momonsterBass
