Fixed the current chord's note spelling so it now shows root at the bottom instead of the top.
Walking Bass Trainer is a practice tool for double bassists designed to help them find chord tones across the entire fingerboard and improve their intonation. It provides real-time feedback on accuracy and timing.
The app presents a chord, keeps time, and listens via your microphone. When you play a chord tone, it lights up. It also indicates if your note is sharp or flat by a specific number of cents.
The app is designed for players who understand chords but want to automate the connection between chord symbols, sound, and fingerboard positions. It's less of a beginner's course and more for intermediate to advanced players looking to refine their skills.
No, the app deliberately does not provide walking bass lines to memorize. Its focus is on developing the player's ability to find chord tones independently.
Walking Bass Trainer is available for iPhone and iPad devices.
Walking Bass Trainer is a paid application priced at $2.99.
The latest version, 1.0.3, was released on September 4, 2026, indicating recent development and support.
Walking Bass Trainer has an age rating of 12+, making it suitable for a wide range of musicians.
