About this app

40 great tools for learning, composing and playing for students or professional musicians. Everything works equally well for guitar, ukulele, bass or many other stringed instruments. Expect THE reference for chords, scales and picking patterns for any tuning. Or THE songbook with access to the world's largest catalogs of lyrics, chords and TABs.

Only the best should be good enough. Expect a best-integrated set of tools. Basics like tuner, metronome or circle of fifths. But just better. The tuner has e.g. an extra string change mode or the metronome a speed trainer.

The ultimate chord library knows every chord and fingering for every instrument and tuning. Without exception! Conversely, there is a chord name for any fingering.

A songbook that is second to none. It finds every song imaginable with chords for any tuning and instrument. Without registration and account. It converts songs for guitar independently for ukulele, bass or banjo. Or vice versa from ukulele to guitar, etc. Of course with the corresponding chords and favorite fingerings. Incredibly functional: Intelligent line break, auto scroll, zoom, audio and video player, drum machine, YouTube integration, pedal support, online editor and viewer, and much more.

Scales galore. Play the scales with all kinds of patterns. Like the pros. And also sometimes different from what you are used to. Provides the diatonic chords for every scale and vice versa.

Expect extraordinary tools like a fingerpicking trainer, a transposer or a tone generator. Or a drum machine for songbook accompaniment or as a rhythm trainer. Or the innovative scale circle. It applies the principle of the circle of fifths to hundreds of scales and modes.

Well, I just this very second installed from the Play Store; so I will be going thru most of the goodies this app has to offer, and then I will leave some in-depth feedback & for surely a 5-star rating. Quick introduction: I've been an *Emotionally Eclectic 6-string Shredder* for about 40 years now, with some forced time away (locked up) and I couldn't physically play; that's when I studied music theory as it corresponds directly to the guitar. It was a worthwhile trade off for sure !

In looking for an easy to navigate tuner app that supported guitar, bass, and mandolin options, I found this fantastic and overwhelmingly thorough, all-encompassing "everything you need for anything w/strings" app instead. I'm slowly working through the free features offered, and will no doubt end up buying one of the very fairly priced add-ons. Or their all-time access to everything is only 25 bucks! Ultimate gratitude to the Devs, just a gorgeous app all around. Cheers!

This is the guitar (and general music) app that all other music apps want to be when they grow up. Does everything that I can think of, and I keep stumbling on new features that I hadn't. Very useful, easy to use. Better, when I turned in a couple bug reports and feature requests the dev(s) responded, in person, with bug fix and feature implementation responses. Dang. Just like I've always wanted a software company to be like. Now if I can get them to implement non-Western scales...hmm...
