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.
