Comments:
This app is actually great for memorizing notes on a guitar. Many options and modes. Ads are minimal and only across the top. I didn't experience any pop ups like other games. I liked it so much I paid the 99 cents to do the ad free mode after a while of practice. I recommend starting with the 6th string only, do all the different modes until it is 2nd nature to find the notes, then move to the 5th string only and so. Then you can work your way into incorporating multiple strings.
`One of two apps I use daily on my breaks at work. I feel it's helped me a lot, though still only a "helper" to practicing on a real instrument. The following quibbles are to be taken as suggestions for improvement, not complaints about the app as it stands. I'd really, Really, REALLY like to have sound available when the selected instrument isn't guitar (specifically, for me, mandolin). No need to imitate the actual sound of the instrument--the "guitar" sounds aren't all that good, either--as long as the PITCH is there to hear. I'd also like to see a 5-string mandolin option. I'll also echo two suggestions I've seen in other reviews: an option to hide fret numbers, and a "random within the key of:" pattern.`,Like everyone says, just what one needs, and very well implemented for what it does. But please, please put in an option to remove the fret numbers, or just get rid of them. I want to find the notes on my guitar, which, like every other guitar, does not have numbers on the fretboard. It makes it too easy to totally ignore the fretboard and just paint-by-number. Then to find the note on my actual guitar I have to do something you haven't trained me for. PLEASE! I wish I could show you a photo of the rubber band I use to block out the fret numbers.
Love the tweakability in the app. Can set which strings/frets to focus on. I'm using identify mode. It plays a tone & highlights on the fretboard. At bottom of screen, musical alphabet laid out chromatically. Click the note you think it is, see if you're right. Can also select number of notes per game & receive a score of correct (say 8/10) and average time to hit the answer. Short & shallow learning curve to figure out the game. Can't find anything to complain about. Really nice app 10/5 stars
Great little app. Finally after 20+ years of playing I'm learning all of the notes all over the neck. Been about a month and I only have 1 string to go. The app is very versatile in that you can tailor your learning - want to quiz yourself on the whole fretboard for just a short burst? No worries. Want to spend a long session focussing just on the B string between frets 1-3? You can do that too. I also love that the app generates the tone of the note so that your ears are being trained!"
