Great tool for starters and up

I have used this countless of times to work on compositions it’s beautifully made as a sidekick while learning as well!

Awesome practice tool and app support

I use this app for practicing individual chords, progressions, and as backing tracks for scale-based soloing and it’s awesome. The pre-loaded progressions are great and I also appreciate being able to create and save my own progressions.

I recently had an issue with the app not working on an older iPad and the developer fixed it straightaway. Awesome customer support- much appreciated!

This app is a regular part of my guitar practice routine. The only thing I’d like is some different guitar voicing as I’m more of a rock/metal guy and the current option is only acoustic.

Doesn’t work

It’s not possible to add lyrics with chords in and play the song. What’s the use to listen to some chords? Waste of time. I deleted it right away!!!
