No more Metallica????

Without warning all the Metallica content disappeared. Will not renew my subscription.

6 string or bust.

Kind of a jumbled mess. My friend and I have both experienced the app and it is great for them as a 6 string guitar player as a bass player I have learned more from YouTube and a $5 book at my local music store.

They talk a big game about having the rights to so many songs. Yeah but you don’t have the lyrics you have extremely stripped down versions of songs. Again a quick google search and I can find tabs better than what they are selling with the option to edit the backing to my choice and at the speed I can comfortable play at until I master it.

This app crashes like it gets paid for each time you have to close and open it. Don’t even think about switching your screen to say check a text or even look up what they are talking about in a lesson your play-along with because it will simply stop working.

Here is an idea Fender how about for your play alongs with the instructor you actually have the tabs scroll as you play that way you can actively in real time see your mistakes and correct them by rewinding the video instead of jumping between two separate videos hoping the app doesn’t crash?

Also why as an electric instrument player are you teaching me how to turn on my amp on after 20+ lessons of playing? I don’t mean edit your treble, mid, and bass to create new interesting sounds I mean how to flip on the power switch. Kind of sounds a bit disjointed doesn’t it?

The over all lesson structure feels like it was made by a hung over college music intern slapping together videos with Ai support after being out partying all night and this was their final project before they switch majors.

Bottom line is that if you are a 6-string player you will have a great time and made to feel supported, anything else you are going to feel like the rejected middle child from an app you are paying for. You are better off spending your money on a different app instead of something this sloppy.

Didn’t know were many songs were

I just started playing bass and I was trying to search for basic songs like seven nation army but it was like it wasn’t on there

8.0 Feedback Mode Mess

Everything was working fine until the 8.0 release. Now previous scores are wiped, new 100% scores are shown as 1%, and some lessons cannot hear the notes at all, or claim that the wrong bass string(!) was played or the beat was off. There’s a lot of 0% scores from new lessons for me moving forward. I’m waiting for them to fix this mess which they do not openly acknowledge. Support explains the moving of Feedback
Mode, and advises to reinstall the app. What a crock!
