I have been playing for many years, live gigs, recording in studios… but the thing I love most is writing! There is just something about sitting down hashing out some feelings (RAW) emotional feelings, allowing the feelings move through your mind, body and out your fingers onto a fret board is therapy for all musicians no matter their instrument or how many years they have played! I have been using my iPad as my main source of capturing all those feelings and turning those feelings into music! I haven’t much use for apps that scratch the surface, or only show chords, or scales, or apps that are tuners, because I have downloaded the best through the years… but I seen this app on AppAdvice and it peaked my interest after only seeing a few screen shots! Wow! This app is amazing! I ENVY anyone who is starting their relationship with guitar during these amazing technological advanced times! I could have learned things correctly and SO MUCH FASTER! However, I still feel blessed when I come across an app like this! I can sit with my headphones on in bed, wife snoring beside me and WRITE!!!!!! I can open a new session and lay down chords (without touching my guitar) and having to open up a DAW to capture the guitar track, I can just open this app up slap on my Sony Studio Headphones and start writing, I have all the tools I need GUITAR BASS DRUMS and this app has a ton of different styles to select and run down, to capture the ‘feel’ I set the tempo, name the song, and start adding the lyrics… and what I love is it breaks EVERYTHING down into sections… Intro, verse, bridge, chorus, back to verses and so on! There is SO MUCH more, but I would have to write pages of amazing features! Just download the app! It’s amazing! I promise if you even play just for fun, this app will make it more fun!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review - it truly means the world to me as the solo developer behind GtrWiz. I’ve poured my heart and soul into creating this app, building in the exact tools I’ve always wished for as a guitarist myself. Reading how you use the app - from late-night writing sessions with your headphones on, to sketching out full songs with guitar, bass, and drums -is exactly the kind of experience I hoped to enable.The Song Maker is still in its early stages, and I’m excited to add many more patterns, features, and usability improvements to make it even more powerful. Please don’t hesitate to reach out at apps@jsplash.com with any ideas or feedback — some of the best features in GtrWiz have come directly from users like you.Thank you again for your support and for sharing your inspiring journey with music!
