Guitar solo programs

Guitar Tuna is the best free tuner — very responsive and accurate. Still, Guitar Toolkit is better if you are looking for a wider array of features in one app other than the tuner. As much as tuner apps are nice, they are never as reliable and quick as tuners that attach to the headstock and work on the sound vibrations.

My favorite is Guitar Jam Tracks by Ninebuzz — It's intuitive, you can easily switch keys, and you can choose from a variety of music genres. It'll give you a nice paved road for lead guitar improvement. It also shows you all the scales you're gonna need for improvising, divided into positions that are easier to memorize, so even if you're new to the whole world of lead guitar — it got you covered.

The Jam Tracks app is a convenient first step for beginners or a toolkit for the advanced player in the world of playing lead guitar and solos.

If you're really interested in taking your music skills to the next level and you're willing to spend at least minutes a day doing some ear training, I tried many apps and this is the one I'm seeing the most progress with by far, since it has a fresh approach for one of the key building blocks of ear training as a whole. Instead of focusing on intervals which is super important as well, and you'll learn it in the other apps featured below — It focuses on learning to correctly identify the different scale degrees in the context of a song.

As a result, you can identify specific notes in the context of real music — where it matters the most. The app also tracks your progress and improvement with detailed stats. This way of training your ears is excellent both for recognizing where the song is both melodically what is the melody of the song and how to play it and harmonically which chord is currently playing.

Instead of random finger noodlings, you'll slowly be able to hit the exact notes that you hear in your mind. Also — I can almost always figure out a chord progression and a melody of a song easily, which used to be a struggle for me. An amazing place to be at — that gives me a lot more freedom on the guitar. Besides this one, two other excellent ear training apps are Good Ear Pro for the iPhone and Perfect Ear for Android — which will help you work more closely on intervals, hearing chord qualities maj7, Minor, etc , identifying different scales, and other essential building blocks of a great ear.

If you're into lead guitar, improvisations, or anything that involves the combination of music theory and well-trained ears like figuring out chord progressions or melodies by ear — this free app will make the biggest difference in your sound. Ultimate Guitar Tabs is my go-to for song's chord sheets and the best free guitar app. By the way — it's a lot more convenient to use with a tablet, so in case you have one — this is the time to get it out. Another thing that I can recommend here instead of reading the chord sheets from a screen, is to print out your own personalized chord songbooks.

Ultimate Guitar is my go-to app for chord sheets of my favorite songs. The iReal Pro is similar to the Ultimate Guitar app, but it's geared more towards jazz players, and it has some very powerful features that the Ultimate Guitar app does not have.

A bit of a learning curve, but once you get used to it and know all the features — it's a pleasure to use. Again — this app really shines on tablets' big screens — when it's a lot more comfortable to read the sheets.

The best companion for jazz players, but not only for them. The iReal Pro is a powerful app that not only shows chord sheets, but also renders backing tracks tailored to your taste and style. When you want to transcribe a piece of music, a solo, or any complex part which in this context means — learning music by ear, either by writing it down or simply by playing it and not writing it down — you need a comfortable tool to slow it down and to loop certain parts in it.

These apps will make learning solos by ear a lot more convenient. If you're into guitar theory, you probably noticed that this knowledge is almost useless on the guitar — unless you know where the different notes are located on the fretboard.

Guitar playing is all about continuously learning and improving. Thanks for the lessons : and i am buying my first electric guitar, i am struck between choosing ibanez and fender squier deluxe strat, would you please help me with that. And also is it good to start with yiur blues licks and lesson? If you are all about rock, shredding and metal I would recommend the Ibanez.

If you want to be more an allround guitar player, blues, rock, country, pop, etc then I would go for the fender squier deluxe strat. It depends on your musical taste. Both are nice guitars.

I also have ibanez and squier guitars. The 50CoolBluesLicksImprov course is an intermediate course. I really like Chordify! It is a website you post a link to a YouTube video or any other videosite and it will try to transcribe the song. It is fast and pretty good. Not perfect but a good starting point. Indeed for simple songs it works really nice.

Hi Suresh, What is it that you want to learn?
