Introducing our new outstanding «Guitar Driller» app! This app is developed especially to help guitarists to organize their training exercises in many ways. It allows you to create various playlists from your favorite exercises by integrating different content from the other Fonexsis apps, installed on your device, as well as to learn and to explore new innovative guitar material from optionally purchased Guitar Driller packs. Guitar Driller supports all the features of the other guitar apps, released by Fonexsis, plus: ◦ Create and edit your own playlists of exercises for your guitar training; ◦ Import exercises from the other Fonexsis apps that support Guitar Driller integration; ◦ Add drums to exercises instead of metronome sounds; ◦ You can store different tempo values for every exercise in your playlist, as well as modify other settings like Metrotone beat, bar size, harmony timbre, drum sets and more! GUITAR DRILLER INTEGRATION There are two ways you can use your Fonexsis guitar apps with Guitar Driller. First, you can access them from Guitar Driller's "My Content" list to pick up exercises for creating your playlists. Second, you can add your favorite exercises directly to Guitar Driller's playlists from the other apps themselves by tapping a star button under the fretboard and selecting "Copy to Driller..." menu from within the app. To make your previously purchased Fonexsis guitar apps accessible from Guitar Driller's "My Content" list, please update these apps to their latest versions, and ensure they support Guitar Driller Integration. Then just launch each of these apps at least one time, and they will become available in Guitar Driller. We will be gradually adding Guitar Driller Integration support to most of our guitar apps. You can find out if the app already supports it in its description on the App Store. Here's the list of apps, that currently support Guitar Driller Integration: ◦ Guitar Modes Symmetry School ◦ Economy Picking Guitar School ◦ Swybrid Picking Guitar School ◦ International Guitar Chords 1, 2 and LE ◦ Bluesman Guitar Scales 1 and 2 ◦ Guitar Modal Pentatonic Scales ◦ Sweep Picking Guitar Arpeggios ◦ Two Handed Touch Guitar Arpeggios For more information please visit http://www.fonexsis.com
