Note Blaster
Learn Guitar Notes — Hears You
$9.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 2.4: pick Accurate or Noisy Room mic mode, and a wrong note now lights up the right one on the neck. Learn guitar notes by playing your own guitar.
Learn the notes of the guitar by playing them. Note Blaster hears you play.
Point your phone at your guitar, pluck the note on screen, and it fires — detected from the real sound of your guitar, not a button tap. Can't get to your instrument? Tap the fretboard instead — both ways always work.
You have three lives and must destroy 30 notes per level. Miss too many and it's game over.
Note Blaster teaches the notes of the guitar one string at a time, starting with the 1st string (E, F, G) and working across the fretboard until you know it all — while blowing up notes to a bluesy backing track.
WHAT'S NEW IN 2.4:
• Two mic modes: Accurate (a wrong note costs a life — best for practising every note correctly) and Noisy Room (only right notes count — best when the room is loud)
• More reliable wrong-note detection on acoustic guitars
• Play a wrong note and the right one lights up on the guitar neck
• Search for a student in the Session Scoreboard
FEATURES:
• HOW TO READ guide: tap any fret and see where that note sits on the staff, with the Every Good Banana Drives Ferraris and FACE memory aids (sight reading made simple)
• MIDI mode: plug in a USB MIDI keyboard or MIDI guitar and play the notes directly
• Mic mode: play real notes on a real guitar, the app hears you
• Acoustic guitar setting for quiet, unplugged guitars
• Learn guitar notes step by step, one string at a time — fretboard trainer and ear training in one game
• Practice area to study notes before you play
• Three difficulty modes: Easy, Intermediate, and Hard
• Session Mode — a teacher picks the notes, a student plays a mini-game, results save automatically (built for guitar teachers and their students)
• Note Movement — choose Step, Step & Leap, or free Random note order for interval training within a session
• Session Scoreboard — every student's practice history at a glance, including which note-movement mode was used
• Local high score leaderboard
Whether you're teaching yourself or teaching a room full of students, Note Blaster turns learning the fretboard into something you actually want to play.
