Using the app to relearn
Played guitar for 30 years then took an 8 year hiatus. I’m using the app to clear the cobwebs and maybe learn some stuff I didn’t know in the first 30 years. It’s really great for working on your timing, finger strength, muscle memory and coordination between your right and left hands. I’m working on lessons below my ability but I am enjoying slowly easing back in. Doing a deep dive on the minor pentatonic scales right now. I never knew all the scale shapes, extended shapes and how to find them easily from each end of the neck and in between. I’m learning all of that as I tune up my playing ability. The ai analysis is really good too. Gives you detailed information on your playing. Worth every bit of the subscription price. Can see this being a good tool for beginners as well. Lots and lots of different sessions available to cover an extreme amount of topics! Highly recommend!

Restart
I love this app its very easy but when i go back and try tohit resume spmetimes i hit the restart button and it restarts all my progress and ita very annoying, please make more space beyween the resume and restart button
Get this app
I took a chance about a year and a half ago. After years of lessons and tutorials I was still missing something and started the Gibson app and can’t say enough about how good it is and how it’s helped me progress in my home on my time and sooo many things you can do that keeps you focused and having fun 🤘🏼 .

Great App, Veterans Discount
After a free trial I was hooked! They have a generous veterans discount and the staff and support team is very helpful.
Where are the 10K Songs and Lessons?
The song list is a barren wasteland. I thought, “surely, with ten thousand songs and lessons I will be able to practice some reels and jigs.” The ad is misleading.
Dear Gibson
I bought this app because simply guitar sucks and I have an Epiphone SG Tribute I would get a standard but I spent all my money on this guitar anyways whoever is reading this have a good day!
What am I missing?
I see all these reviews about how much people like the app, but I don’t get it. Couldn’t get past the tuning page without killing the app and skipping it. I am not even 30 mins, and fully blocked by the “7-day trial”. What is the point of a 7-day trial when I can get past a few mins/few lessons. Why are you forcing screen rotation? Not allowing it to rotate as I need is severely hampering (the headphone cord goes the wrong direction and gets tangled with my guitar.
I’ve been playing guitar for many years, so I selected “intermediate”. First lesson? Here’s how to make your first note: pluck the thinnest string at the first fret! Why ask if you are going to ignore it.
I am all for these kinds of apps and I would gladly pay for it, but not with these basic UI/UX problems and certainly not when I am given a 7-day trial that blocks after 30 mins.

Update messed everything up
I tried every way with my Positive Grid Riff to get the digital amp version of Gibson to work and it did absolutely nothing. All I do now is practice with a dry, clean sound from Bias FX, because I won’t hop back and forth between apps to get the right sound every time I practice or play something different. That’s annoying.

Gibson
I have installed this app on multiple devices and it is a great way to play guitar. I have been learning guitar for about 4 years and it is a good way to practice and play guitar with Gibson. I would like to see a platform where you can write songs and publish it among artists
Response from developer
Hi there, thanks for the review. Please do reach out to us at app.support@gibson.com with any ideas or suggestions you have for future updates and we'll gladly look into what can be done. Best regards, Matthew
REALLY THINKING ABOUT THE SUB PLAN
I have been trying for weeks to play whatever so I want from basic and melody so I can get better but the app won’t let me even though I have finished the lessons to be where I am. I do not want to move forward until I’m comfortable but it will not let me tap the song to play like it did my first week.

Buggy
For some reason, the game still gives me points for hitting the note right without even playing a note. I’ve had to restart restart my phone close the app twice and it’s still the same.
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.

Great tool
Great app or all levels
Excellent app and customer service
My wife and I recently retired and have both decided to learn to play guitar. The Gibson app has been wonderful, both in its content and the way in which it presents the material and assesses one’s progress. I had a question regarding the app and sent a note to customer support on a Saturday evening. On Monday morning a response from the support team was waiting for me in my inbox. The email was very helpful and thorough - somebody took time to write that email. That impressed me a lot. It’s an excellent app supported by an obviously excellent team.

God send
I’m learning faster with this app.
Timing off
The latency is still really bad I use my own eye don’t pay attention to the red green miss versus hit. Works a lot better. Can’t get an update either my phone don’t automatically update.
