## What is Guitar Genius?

Guitar Genius is everything you need to become the guitarist you want to be. Build a practice habit that sticks, finally understand the fretboard, learn and perfect the songs you love, master your solos, and keep every tool you need in one beautiful app.

Practice can feel like a chore, or it can be the best part of your day. Guitar Genius makes it the second: clear, guided, and built to move you forward, whether you picked up a guitar last week or years ago.

SEE THE WHOLE FRETBOARD
The Scale Visualizer shows any scale in any key, anywhere on the neck. Toggle notes, intervals, or degrees, hear it played, and finally see how it all connects. Explore keys, modes, and the circle of fifths to understand the music you play.

EVERY CHORD, EVERYWHERE
Browse a huge chord library with every shape in all five CAGED positions, plus arpeggios and richer voicings. Forgot a shape? Chord ID names any chord from the frets you are holding.

PRACTICE THAT STICKS
Guided scale and chord drills on a fretboard that always shows the whole neck and slides between positions, so you never lose the context. A bright beacon shows the exact note to play next, and a preview tells you where you are heading before you get there.

TRAIN YOUR EAR AND YOUR THEORY
Sharpen your ear with interval and chord recognition, test your knowledge with a quick theory quiz, and master every note on the neck with the fretboard trainer.

LEARN YOUR FAVORITE SONGS
Loop any tricky section, slow it down without changing the pitch, and keep your own notes, tabs, and chords right beside the player. Works with your music and with YouTube.

JAM AND SOLO
When you want to just play, loop a chord progression and solo over a backing band with the scales that fit lit up on the neck.

THE ESSENTIALS, DONE RIGHT
A fast, accurate tuner with alternate tunings, a rock solid metronome, and a Speed Trainer that ramps the tempo to push your limits.

BUILT TO KEEP YOU GOING
Track your practice streak, follow guided paths, and get a daily nudge, so a little practice every day adds up to real progress.

Beautiful, fast, and made by a small team who play guitar too. Download Guitar Genius and make practice the best part of your day.

Some advanced features are available with Guitar Genius Pro.

### 1/5 — Another subscription app

*2024-09-02*

I just found this app and I use it to keep track of songs im learning. I love that you can select a section of the song, loop over it and slow it down. It’s pretty cool. The exercises are great but I think many more should be added.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.2 — 2026-08-11

LOOPS THAT SAVE
Adding a loop from a song's screen now takes you into the player, where you can set the start and end points while the music plays. The old editor had no way to capture those times, so loops could not be saved from that screen. Sorry to everyone who tried.

REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE ON TIME
A nudge on your first and second day, using the daily practice time you chose when you started, instead of waiting a week.

Plus smaller fixes throughout. Thank you for playing, and tell us what you think.
