Soloist vs ExploreModes

Learn guitar with real tabs, full-band play-alongs, and feedback honest enough to say when it could not hear you clearly. No ads, ever. HONEST FEEDBACK — LIVE AND AFTER Start with a guided mic check, input meter, room-noise calibration, and latency adjustment. As you play, only confidently heard hits light a positive trail; uncertain or different notes stay neutral; when the signal is unclear, Soloist asks you to try again instead of inventing a wrong note. During grading the target melody stays silent, so the app can never grade its own speaker, and your final score comes from a careful offline read. FOLLOW MY PLAYING Charts scroll to your actual playing. Soloist listens through the microphone and holds your place as you strum, hands-free, then eases back to a steady beat if it loses you. TEACH ME MY SONG — ON DEVICE Import a short audio file, play into the microphone, or hum an idea. Soloist turns it into chords and playable guitar tab, then opens the result in the same graded practice stage as a lesson. Captured audio is processed on your device and is never uploaded. The free tier includes three imports each month. A LIBRARY BUILT TO LAST Explore 259 graded song lessons + 430 play-along charts, including chord-progression packs — 76 of them free. Graded lessons teach a melody note by note; play-along charts are original chord charts without melodies, so you carry the tune. Nine playstyles turn each compatible arrangement into real musical practice. The public-domain and original repertoire is bundled with the app, not rented from a label, and is designed to stay available — your songs never disappear. START AT THE RIGHT LEVEL New players finish onboarding by actually playing a first song with a full band behind them. Returning players can take a short placement test and skip past what they already know.

ExploreModes — App Store Description Discover what makes each musical mode sound unique — and learn how to use that sound on guitar. ExploreModes is a practical guide to the seven modes, combining ear training, music theory, harmony and fretboard practice to help you move beyond simply memorising scale patterns. Rather than treating modes as abstract formulas, ExploreModes helps you hear the differences that give each mode its character. EXPLORE ALL SEVEN MODES Learn the sound and structure of: • Ionian • Dorian • Phrygian • Lydian • Mixolydian • Aeolian • Locrian Each lesson focuses on the notes and harmonic ideas that make that mode distinctive. HEAR THE DIFFERENCE Compare modes with familiar major and minor sounds and listen for the characteristic intervals that change their mood. Short audio examples help connect the theory on screen with what you actually hear. UNDERSTAND THE HARMONY Hear modal chord progressions and discover how characteristic chords help establish each mode. Use repeating vamps as a backing for your own guitar improvisation. PUT IT ON THE GUITAR Interactive fretboard diagrams show where the important notes sit under your fingers. Use the included playing suggestions to experiment with each modal sound rather than simply running up and down a scale.
