A cornerstone to my improvement
I’ve found that when I want to learn a new lick or song my hands are already ready for it, dexterity-wise, which makes picking up new songs go much faster. I’ve been using it regularly for about four years. Unexpectedly, it greatly improved my tab reading.
I usually use this as warm up to practice. I’ll do five various, two-minute exercises, it’s something I don’t have think much about and can just jump in and knock out a workout and then do whatever’s next.

Great workout for flying fingers
The exercises are variously technical and you are basically doing “reps” to increase muscle strength, dexterity and memory. This is just what I need to enable me to play more interesting, creative stuff.
It may seem dull and repetitive but once you get into a routine of a few minutes a day your playing abilities will advance rapidly, possibly even exponentially.

Goat status
I use this before I do any other practice . So simple yet executed so well in the app. You can really focus and hone down on your skill
A great app to help practice
This is a great free app to help give you things to actually practice rather than boring scales over and over. Highly recommend!
Best little practice tool I have on my phone.
I love this app, it helps round out basic practice skills with explanations and a wide variety of different drills. I use it as prescribed and I have more discipline for daily practice. Structured plans help me a lot and adding a metronome to the skill drills has greatly improved my overall speed. I have have also seen noticeable improvement in both learning new songs or improvising. Get it now!!!

Very useful to any guitarist's skill level
Having studied degree in music and worked as a music teacher and head of music department for over a decade - I had taken a long break in playing. This app really helped to improve my skills and stamina whilst reminding me about good technique- a little buggy by perfectly functional!
Some of the scale shapes seem a little unusual but you can substitute them yourself- some lovely arrpeggios up the neck in the newer versions too- definitely worth it!

Very handy app
This app is brilliant for brushing up your technique whilst syncing with the inbuilt Metronome click ... keeps you honest about your rhythm whilst brushing up your technique.
I have the pocket book of this but this app is way better and way more useful to me - I use it for my daily warmups and can’t recommend this app enough- it’s well worth a download. Top marks ⭐️

Great Practice App BUT...
Please please please for the love of user interface design add a + or - button to the tempo adjuster. It’s so frustrating trying to get the blasted slider to be at a specific tempo.
Also, add a spot where I can take notes for each exercise and fix the whack rhythm displayed for the C303 exercise.
Other than these I live this app. Thanks for making it.

Response from developer
We've just released an update (v2.32) with added buttons and a fix for C303. It should also support landscape orientation properly on all the latest devices. Let us know if you have any more ideas or feedback for the app and keep practicing!
Just a little more
The App works as advertised but there are elements that could use just a tiny bit more instruction to be useful (for me). The partial use of upstroke and downstroke symbols and other notations are not explained. I get the sense I am not doing the exercises correctly, thus do not wish to continue. Perhaps these are common notations. I requested the info through the in App contact but so far no reply.

Good app but lots of room for improvement
Love the structure and simplicity of this app, and when it only takes ten minutes to do some useful guitar practice I really have no excuse to not do it every day!
All of my quibbles with the app are on the technical side - it doesn’t display well in landscape mode on iPhone for instance, and it can sometimes be fiddly to connect to Bluetooth devices. It would also be nice if it made more use of modern iPhone features like notifications, 3D Touch etc., for a smoother experience. Finally I’d really like to see new exercises released periodically.
So overall, love the idea behind the app but would like to see more done to keep it up to date.

Very useful
I love the fact you can speed up or slow down the examples.A great app for improving your guitar technique.
Great addition to daily practice routine.
This app is a great addition to your daily guitar practice routine no matter what level of guitarist you are. I like the way each exercise is broken down to explain the theory involved.
This works
This is the best guitar app I have seen so far.
Excellent!! But....
Could use some fine tuning but excellent idea and works well.
If you play guitar get this
I've David Meads Guitar Gym for years now but it's been updated and it's now better than ever. 16 minutes a day can really improve your picking skills and fretboard knowledge, it coves ear training, alternate picking, arpeggios, modes and lots more. It's probably going to b the most useful tool in your armoury and for the price it's a steal just get it you won't be disappointed.

Guitar Gym
Good app, worth the time and effort.
Excellent Training Aid
I am a relative beginner and find this app brilliant! It is easy to use and develops your skills in a simple and progressive way. It allows you to choose your own pace both in the level of exercise and the tempo at which you learn and practice. I would recommnd this aid and David Mead's books to any aspiring guitarist!
