PocketAmp

This app is really useful if you have an instrument adapter. You will turn your phone or tablet into an amp with the use of a smartphone-compatible jack that you plug into your guitar. PocketAmp offers four amplifiers on its interface, as well as seven guitar effects pedals and four cabinets. It is a good way to start learning about how to effectively combine and use these items. It is also a great way to have an “amplifier” on the go so you can play anywhere.

Play Guitar Hits

This app lets the guitarist learn songs in an interactive way. You can choose to see tablature, slash notation, or even a classic fretboard view. Play Guitar Hits’ dual-screen function allows you to see the interactive tablature on one side and a play-trough video of our chosen song on the other side of your screen. A fun method for learning songs.

Fret Trainer

As the name implies, Fret Trainer will train your brain and hands to use the fretboard. This app was designed for beginners and uses different sets of methods to help you understand the basics of the fretboard. For instance, you can use its color match mode that highlights what you need to play. It is a fun way to learn, especially for the younger generation.

This app is ideal for beginners that need step-by-step lessons. The scope of lessons on Justin Guitar covers a wide array of topics, from basic chords to learning scales. Justin Guitar includes over 1000 popular songs to learn as well as a self-assessment monitoring system that tracks the progress the user makes. 

Voice Recorder

This app is ideal for songwriters and guitarists that want to hear what they sound like. Painful as it may be, listening back to yourself playing is one of the most revealing exercises for a guitarist. This is a great way to track your progress, as this app will show the date on which the recording was made. Voice Recorder also is great for when inspiration strikes. If you come up with a killer distorted riff at midnight, don’t waste any time plugging into your interface and setting levels. Just pick up your phone and conveniently document it on Voice Recorder.
