PRACTICE TIPS:
Learn the chord progression for each track, and then jump over to practicing scales. Guess what? There are only 5 'shapes' to the scales to memorize! Once you know them up and down, learn where they start for each key. Soon, you'll be able to solo like a pro. Gain more versatility by playing in different modes.

TIPS FOR THE SCALE CHARTS:
- Black dots are regular notes.
- Red dots are 'root notes'. These are notes of the key you are in.
- Blue dots are 'passing notes'. Including these notes puts you in a Blues mode.

Need additional tracks.

The tracks available are OK but there are not that many and a lot of them are a little slow. Would be nice to be able to download additional tracks and to be able to vary the temp of the exsisting tracks. There are easier wys to play lead than to memorize all of these scales. In relaity you nee just two, 1st and 5th and be able to move between them. Then just pick a key. Easy.

Not for intermediate players, DEFINITELY not for beginners.

Few important points I wanna make:
-The chords written are not accurate to what is being played. The developer confuses major/minor/dominant chords. So basically everything. Measures and song forms are written very poorly. Good luck figuring it out on your own.
-Tracks don’t sound authentic to any of the styles available. I mean not even single one. I understand if the developer is a metalhead not familiar with jazz music, but the person is an amateur musician who really needs to study more music.
-Basically it’s just a guitar player playing poorly made riffs over drum machines. And even the guitar tones sound really cheap.

If you’re a serious musician you will immediately figure out that you’ve made a mistake by paying high dollars.
If you’re a beginner, only thing you will get out of this app will be a bad habit of misreading music.

I’m seriously ashamed of spending money on this app. I could’ve made a better library of jam tracks on my own in a single day.
Sorry developers. Hope you made enough money to go take some music lessons.

You must be joking!!

This may be the biggest waste of money in the app store. If anyone figures out how this can be worth $9.99 please let me know. They really need to figure a way to let a person interested in an app test it out before purchasing. This app does nothing but play a few backup tracks and demonstrate, in a confusing manner, where to place your fingers to attempt to play some lead into the backing tracks. The quote in the advertisement for this app by somebody named Orlando C. (a U.S. Customer) reads as follows, "I don't think anything else has ever improved my playing like this app has." Well, maybe Orlando improved his playing by purchasing this app, attempting to use it, finding out he had wasted his money and the app is so bad that he was compelled to practice the correct way and not use hyped up, overstated apps like this one. I really do feel like I just gave $9.99 of my money to somebody and got absolutely NOTHING in return. I really hope my review helps others avoid wasting money like I have. The developers of this app must be laughing all the way to the bank.
