If you want to explore chord progressions and scale modes, this is the app for you. You can create your own custom progressions by plugging in any chord you want, as well as any voicing of that chord. That’s something you can’t do with any other app.The only thing I wish it had was a way to save my custom progressions. But it’s easily the best guitar app I’ve come across on the App Store. And it’s FREE. I’d give it 10 stars if I could.

Amazing practice app

An app I never knew I needed until now. It takes all the thinking away of what to practice and provides great sounding chord progressions. The playback is great as a reference and the groove/tempo for working on my timing
Really great way to practice
