About

OneBeat Guitar Play is a fretboard trainer that listens. Jam the blues over a 12-bar band while licks scroll in as tab, or drill notes and scale shapes — the app hears every note you play and checks off the exact string and fret. BLUES A 12-bar minor blues band plays — real recorded guitar over a drum groove — while licks scroll toward a hit line as tab, and a fretboard below shows where each lick sits on the neck with the next note ringed. • Four keys: Am, Em, Gm and Cm. • Fifty licks across Easy, Medium and Hard — bends, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, double stops and fast runs, with a lick that resolves to the root every few. • Three tempos, 60, 70 and 80 BPM, to learn a lick slowly before playing it at speed. Medium and Hard mix in a few licks from the level below. • Every note is scored as you play it, with early and late feedback, and the app shows the note it hears, so a miss tells you whether it was the timing or the fret. • Repeat mode plays the same lick again until you hit 80% of it. • A ring around the play button tracks the 12 bars, and your last and best accuracy and streak are kept for every key, level and tempo. FIND NOTE Choose a note and find it everywhere, from the nut to the twelfth fret. The next position to play is ringed; play the right string and it checks off. Positions that are genuinely the same pitch on two strings are told apart by which string you last played. SCALES Major and minor in all twelve keys, as one classic movable five-fret box with the root highlighted. Switch to Pentatonic for all five positions of the minor and major pentatonic and both blues scales, with the blue note marked inside the box. TIMED, EVERY SESSION Set how many repetitions a session takes and the timer runs while you play. Each tab keeps its own last time and best time for each repetition count, so you have a number to beat that means something. Tap the dice to jump to a random key and keep it honest. PRACTICE HISTORY Every finished session is logged — which tab, which key or shape, and your time or, for Blues, your accuracy — with new personal bests flagged. Filter by tab, and see today, this week and all-time totals at the top. BUILT FOR PRACTICE • iPhone and iPad, in portrait or landscape, with the same two-card layout on every tab: your pickers at the top, the clock, scores and play button at the bottom. • Hear your own guitar through the app, with reverb and separate guitar and backing track volumes. • An optional count-in before the mic opens, and a fret-12 limit for beginners. • No account and no ads. Nothing leaves your device — the microphone is used only to detect pitch while you play, and audio is never recorded or sent anywhere. ONEBEAT PLAY PRO Find Note, the scale shapes, all five pentatonic and blues boxes, the timer, your best times and your history are free and always will be. Blues is free for 10 minutes every day. An optional Pro subscription makes Blues unlimited, unlocks the appearance settings — themes, accent colours, four fretboard styles and two inlay styles — and supports an independent, ad-free app. • Monthly — auto-renews every month • Yearly — auto-renews every year Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.

What's New in OneBeat Guitar Play

1.70

September 16, 2026

A cleaner practice screen. • Every tab now has the same two cards: pickers on one row at the top, and the clock, your last and best, and the play button at the bottom — nothing moves when you switch tabs. • iPhone now works in landscape. • Blues: your last and best show accuracy and streak, a ring around the play button follows the 12 bars, and in landscape a dice button picks a random key. • Blues: Medium and Hard now mix in some licks from the level below. • Settings: a Reverb slider for hearing your guitar through the app. • Smaller note markers on the fretboard, so busy boxes read more clearly.
