Your virtual guitar teacher
Whether you’re an aspiring guitarist or the best you can do is air guitar, these apps can help you on the way to becoming the next Hendrix. Or at least minimise complaints from your neighbours when you’re practising.
Tune your instrument
GuitarTuna can help you calibrate your guitar’s sound with clear visual feedback. It’s simple – play a chord and watch to see whether or not the note is too sharp or flat. GuitarTuna can also tell you how much you need to tighten or loosen each string.
Beat it
Pro Metronome is, of course, a metronome, but it also offers basic rhythm tips and the ability to customise the accents of each beat in a song. You can even visualise the beat to see how the rhythm changes.
Play your favourite song
Guitar Pro’s best feature shows you the sheet music for your favourite tune, plus the corresponding notes on the virtual strings. You can slow it all down to get complex parts right and then play it back sped up, turning difficult notes and bar lines into melodies.
In addition, the Notepad feature lets users record their own melodies. This might be the start of your chart-conquering album! Or at least the genesis of a new pub band.
