Best guitar app

Complete practice tool for guitar

Best of its kind!

I have had this app on an Ipad2 for several years, and have never had ANY problems with it! I've seen other reviews that state they have issues with it loading, crashing, etc... That is sad because EVERY guitar player needs this whether beginner or pro alike... One of the BEST, if not THE best apps out there of its kind! I go to it nearly every practice session to help refresh my memory about....whatever! After 40+ years of guitar playing, this app keeps proving to me that I have just scratched the surface!!! If only this was available to me 40 years ago...there are thousands of chord shapes on a guitar neck, and there's nothing like the feeling of finding an interesting new chord shape that you will continually use from then on...they are ALL here!
I consider myself a somewhat advanced guitar player... And I don't know about any of you all, but I still need all the help I can get!
GET THIS APP!!!
USE IT!!!
It will become obvious in your playing...
On a post script:
The tuner, in my opinion, leaves something to be desired... Best one I have found is Guitar Tuna... and I think I have tried them all... unless of course, you have a Peterson Strobe in your kit...

Excellent in all areas

The app is easy to use, expands my view of scales and cord structure. Highly recommended!

Outstanding app

I have had many guitar apps this is the one I use most, in fact I have dumped my other apps
It will do left handed and perfect 4th tuning ( or any tuning) it's excellent for modes and scale learning, it will show a C major scale across the fretboard for example then I take a screen shot and print out the scale (after editing screenshot on iPad),there are many other features , also contacting the programmer was very helpful

An excellent app

I've always found the app to be very helpful in working out chords I've heard others play. It's also great at working out chords for myself.
