Fender Play: Songs & Lessons

Learn Scales, Chords & Tabs

View

Robust video lessons from the famed guitar maker teach beginners and intermediate players how to rock the hits on acoustic or electric guitar (or both).

What we love: The app’s tutorials cover a diverse repertoire of rock, blues, folk, country, and pop. They’re rated in difficulty from one guitar pick (Jewel’s beginner-friendly “You Were Meant for Me”) to three guitar picks (the National’s more challenging “I Should Live in Salt”).

Practice at your own pace playing songs by artists you love.

Quick tip: Footage is filmed from five angles, including one zoomed in on the instructor’s fingers. (The view looks especially great on iPad.)

Meet the creator: Fender has been making instruments for over 75 years. Fender Play is on a mission to create the next generation of guitar players.
