Fun app

Super fun to play along with my new les Paul.

Orientation

One really bad thing about this app is you can’t choose the way the orientation is aka in other words the usbc always has to be on left and id rather it be on right… really bothers me tbh

Outstanding!

5 star all the way - highly recommended

From novice to professional

The goal is for me to be a professional guitarist one day and I learnt playing guitar and understanding tips around guitar using this app. It’s a great beginner friendly app without any need for a tutor or instructor.

Fundamentally Sound - my goal

I am very pleased with this application. It is afforded me the opportunity to learn all about playing the guitar at my own pace. The competition in the levels encourage you to stick with it and it’s amazing how much I’ve learned just in the two months I’ve been working with the app! I have bought two other online guitar programs which I haven’t touched yet, because I’m just getting so much fundamental benefit from the Gibson app. I will utilize those later on, once I get through this program which may take a few more months.
