The fretboard gets easier when you can see the small chord shapes inside it. Guitar triads is a practice app for learning triads, 6th chords, and 7th chords across the neck. Not as diagrams to stare at. As shapes you actually drill, hear, and move through in time. If you already know open chords and barre chords, this is the next layer: smaller voicings, cleaner movement, and more options when you comp, write, improvise, or learn songs by ear. Practice one chord everywhere Choose a root, chord quality, and string set. Guitar triads shows you the inversions of that chord across the neck, then cycles through them at your tempo. Use it to stop learning one grip at a time. See where the same chord lives on different string sets and in different positions. Practice chords inside a key Pick a key and work with the chords that belong together. Run the diatonic chords in order, or drill common progressions like I-IV-V, ii-V-I, I-V-vi-IV, and minor-key movements. Stay in one fret range, or move through the neck as you play. Go beyond basic triads Triads are the foundation, but the app does not stop there. Pro includes 6th chords and 7th chords, so you can practice richer voicings and start hearing how those colors fit into real progressions. Guided lessons Use short lessons to understand what you are practicing, not just where to put your fingers. Learn how triad shapes connect, how inversions work, and why the same chord can feel completely different depending on where you play it. Features • Major, minor, diminished, and augmented triads • 6th and 7th chord practice with Pro • Guided lessons — Major & Minor free, all chords with Pro • All 12 keys with Pro • Four three-string sets: 321, 432, 543, 654 • Fret-range presets from open position up to the 15th fret • Common progressions inside each key • Custom progressions with Pro • Note names or Roman numerals • Pentatonic scale overlay • Hint dots for the next shape • Full-neck chord reference • Chord playback and metronome • Adjustable BPM from 40 to 200 • Optional count-in and beat haptics Built for intermediate guitarists This is for players who are tired of the neck feeling like a set of disconnected boxes. Triads help you see the chord tones. 6th and 7th chords give you more harmonic color. Progression drills make the shapes feel musical instead of random. Practice a little every day and the neck starts to open up. Chords become nearby choices, not shapes you have to search for. Free and Pro Start free in the key of C, including guided lessons for Major and Minor triads. Guitar triads Pro includes all 12 keys, 6th chords, 7th chords, guided lessons, custom progressions, fret-range cycling, and the full Key Mode practice system. Available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Privacy Policy: https://triads.app/ios-privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://triads.app/ios-terms-of-service
PracticeSession

PracticeSession is a complete music practice toolkit, made for the phone. Slow a song down, loop the two bars you keep missing, change the key, and isolate the part you are learning. Import your own audio and work on it offline, with no account, no ads and nothing to sign up for. What the free app does Independent speed and pitch, so tempo and key move separately. A waveform you can zoom into, with regions and markers placed where the music needs them. Looping that starts where you tap, on a passage as short as you like. Stems: play a song as separate parts, mute the guitar, solo the bass. Bring your own, or separate a song in the cloud with credits you buy in the app. A chromatic tuner, so you can tune without leaving the app. Song notes: what to fix, a checklist, tuning, capo, and files you attach to the song. Background playback, with controls on the lock screen. What Pro adds Loop Manager: chain regions into a sequence, and let Speed Training and Key Acrobat raise the tempo and move the key as you loop. Practice Manager: plan a timed session across songs, run it with a cue when time is up, and note what to work on next. Lyrics: words that follow the song, timed by tapping along, with sections, versions and chords over the lines. Chords: a chord chart for the song, read as symbols, degrees or Nashville numbers, in any key. Setlists: build running orders, keep a key and a note per song, and run a set on stage with the words in front of you. A 14-day trial opens all of it, with no account and nothing to cancel. When the trial ends, everything you wrote in Lyrics and Chords stays readable. With the desktop app PracticeSession also runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. Sign in with the same email and your library follows you: the songs, the regions and sequences you built, your notes and your setlists.
