Learn every single aspect of guitar play for a bargain price

This application is unusual in that it can be just as useful for skilled musicians and those that are learning to play the guitar for the first time. The main interface is neatly laid out and clean enough to offer a logical overview for all users, and the database is large, with over 3,000 chord voicings included alongside over 500 scales and arpeggios, all relevant to guitar setup and play. The number of extra features is impressive and everything from custom tuning to triads is built in.

New users may struggle at first to understand the sheer volume of information included, but you can just pick up and use the parts you need and use more of the app asyou become more skilled.

It isn't the most exciting app in the world, but it is a complete and a highly useful tool for any guitar player.
