Solo is the ultimate practice App for mastering fretboard visualization, designed by world renowned guitarists Tom Quayle and David Beebee.
Four powerful fretboard trainers allow you to work intuitively on each aspect of the visualization process; learning note names, memorising interval shapes, outlining chord changes, and practicing scales.
Solo asks you to find intervallic functions against one root note, chord symbol or scale at a time, listens to the notes you play, and doesn’t move on until you’ve correctly found each note by its intervallic function in the specified order.
Practice with Solo and finally learn your note names, master interval shapes, confidently play through chord changes and break out of scale boxes with intervallic functions. Start transforming your playing and confidence on the fretboard today!
NOTE TRAINER
The Note Trainer is perfect for beginner and intermediate players getting to grips with note names on the neck - the foundation of solid fretboard knowledge.
‣ Solo shows you random root notes to find and listens, waiting for you to get it correct.
‣ Slide on the interactive fretboards for helpful diagrams and to study alternative options. Choose from 6 string guitar (standard and 4ths tuning), 7 string guitar, 4 string bass & 5 string bass.
‣ Optional practice suggestions offer challenging ways to limit and test yourself.
‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session.
INTERVAL TRAINER
The Interval Trainer will help players at all levels work on interval shapes with intervallic functions - the key to unlocking true freedom on the fretboard.
‣ Choose any combination of intervallic functions to practice.
‣ Create custom interval groups or choose the intervals for ANY chord type or scale.
‣ The Interval Trainer will randomise your chosen intervals and ask you to find them against either a fixed or random root note.
‣ Slide on the interactive fretboards for helpful diagrams, showing you where all of the interval shapes are across the neck, and to study alternative options. Choose from 6 string guitar (standard and 4ths tuning), 7 string guitar, 4 string bass & 5 string bass.
‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session.
CHANGES TRAINER
In the Changes Trainer you find intervallic functions, using single notes to outline different chord types or sets of chord changes, a key skill for learning to improvise through chord changes.
‣ Practice outlining intervallic functions through over 100 common chord progressions and single chord exercises.
‣ 50 intervallic function levels. Go from simple chord tones to complex melodic structures and scales.
‣ Solo intelligently maps out the correct intervals over each chord and listens for you to play each intervallic function in the specified order.

‣ Powerful workout options provide almost limitless ways to challenge yourself.
‣ Melodic sequence options let you focus on starting from any chord tone within the scale.

I love your Solo creation, been using it since the inception love the Solo 2 upgrade as well. I was hoping to see intervalic movement pertaining to triads, either that or I just missed it, anyway brilliant app. Thankyou for developing it for us unworthy guitar players lol…Kenny.
Sadly It Doesnt Work
satrianirocks
This app is a great idea however it doesnt pick up the audio and therefore doesnt work. I have to crank my amp for it to pick up notes and even then it really has no clue half the time. It sucks all the enjoyment from practicing and I gave up on it in the first 3 days. Save your money and just pay attention to the shapes youre playing.
Developer Response
Sorry you're having a tough time with Solo. Make sure you've gone through the calibration as that makes a huge difference in how well the app can pick up notes. You definitely should not be having this issue. If it continues please contact support so we can get you more detailed suggestions.
Awesome job!

Great App updates! I liked them so much that I even bit the bullet and joined the associated course. Would love to be able to see assignable colours in conjunction with the interval. For visual learning this adds another level of depth.I look forward to seeing more of this project!Geoff
Great tool to learn intervals

Helps in learning intervals and their relative positions to the root. Tutorials are also helpful
