Excellent app for musicians of all skill levels. Interactive informative lessons allow you to hear and play notes as you learn and/or refresh your musical knowledge. Musical concepts seem easier to understand and remember because you can hear and easily interact with notes, scales, chords on your screen. I believe this is one of the best music apps out there. Give it a try! Great app, Antoine! I've been playing music for over 50 vears and I just love using your app. Thank you!

EXCELLENT APP FOR GUITARISTS!! But even I have to admit that the subscription is pricey, I do understand the dev's reasoning behind it. buut it would be nice if the remaining lessons could be available behind an ad-wall,, it might lead to the dev starving though . . . . awesome app regardless :DDDD

Thanks for the review! Sorry but I really hate ads so I won’t put any in my app, there is also a lifetime purchase which is roughly the cost of a one hour guitar lesson with a teacher (at least where I live) if you don’t want to pay the subscription which I think is pretty fair considering the current app market.

I have been using this app for a few weeks now, I have to say this is by far the best educational guitar app out there. I play with it quietly at night and then pick-up my guitar in the morning to practice what I learned, I wish this existed years ago! Fantastic work Antoine, you are the man
