Songs, Features and Fretboards

There's a wide selection of the standard guitar stuff you need like a free audio and digital tuner and a free huge chords & scale library. They make it easy to test the app out with free chords, scales, video lessons, a free jam along, and free songs. What's amazing is it has the REAL artist's songs! Haven't seen that anywhere before. There's a great selection of those songs and an even wider selection of video lessons. Plus, a good selection of Christian songs. Cool features like tempo control, looping and an on-screen fretboard that lights up the notes in real-time making learning much easier for me.

Developer Response ,

July 2017 - Thanks for trying Guitar Tunes! Be sure to check out JAMBar™, Tempo control and Multiple Fretboards for individual guitar parts...we're pretty sure those are things you haven't seen before either! And we're definitely working on new songs... we'll be adding as fast as we can! Let us know if you have any questions!

The App has ruined my Fretlight experience

It’s amazing this app has been around as long as it has and still has the glaring issues it does. If it weren’t for these issues the app would be pretty good, but the issues are major. Enough that I wish I would have bought the Fretlight guitar with built in chords and scales and not the Bluetooth one that has to connect to my phone. There are two major issues, the first is that the app isn’t compatible with dark mode on my iPhone. If dark mode is on I can’t access the setting menu or any of the drop down menus for selecting chords and scales, it’s all blacked out and impossible to read. This means that every time I want to use my Fretlight I have to change to light mode and change back when I’m done, trust me, it gets old, especially considering the dark mode for iOS has been around for quite some time now. How has this not been fixed?? The second issue is even worse, if you open the app and connect your guitar and select a scale to practice the phone screen will time out and you have to wake your phone up to continue playing. So the only options are to change your screen time to unlimited while you are using the app or just deal with the issues that come every time the phone screen turns off. Setting it to unlimited every time and then switching it back every time is ridiculous and ruins the experience. Please address these issues so I can enjoy the Fretlight I spent a lot of money on and can’t return at this point.

So Much LOVE for this app

5 years and i still refer to this app. This may be the most reliable and function rich app I've ever used for scales, Modes, Triads, etc. It is very 'customizable' to get specific scale information and yet straight forward and easy to use in all areas of this app. The Play Along part works fine with fretlite guitar but i dont realy utilize that portion simply because its just not a fit at this time for my style of learning but boy the scale information is more than i ever expected! Please continue to enovate this piece of a GREAT app.
