nice authentic sounds, from one musician to another, the options are amazing and the sound is incredible. My next step is purchasing a guitar and moving Up from there. My father plays acoustic, electric over 50 years, and can't play as much do to an accident, but loves this app!!! Thank you!

"Learning guitar has never been easier?" False. This is probably the worst app I've ever seen for learning guitar. It can teach how to play games, but it doesn't translate to an actual instrument very well at all. Maybe if you're not serious about learning guitar it might be good for a time killer. Otherwise, skip this one.

This has to be the best sounding guitar app there is. Especially the quality of the sound. Just superb. Studio quality fr. Why did I only give 4 stars and not 5. 1st off waaay to many ads. Yes I know it helps keep apps free but seriously I turn off my data just so I don't have to sit through them all. Also I just feel there are things like bending of strings that could be done by a simple two finger and hold function. Another is a wammy bar button you push and then shake your phone up an down

The game is amazing. My only request is that you add in a wah wah pedal for the solo section. I think it be more realistic when doing a solo. But the choice of types of guitars are excellent. I think adding the wah wah pedal would be amazing. Edit: I think there should be some sort of customization involved similar to the drum app. But still amazing.

Previously, I would've rated this app at a 4 or a 5, but within the past few months or so, the ads have gotten much worse. Instead of being a short video when you switch between modes/instruments, or a banner that pops up every now and again, there are 30 second, unskippable video ads when you even defocus the app once. I understand that app development and publishing isn't free, but the app is almost 50% ads now.

This is pretty good. The features are great. My main issue is that the app notifies me even when my phone is on do not disturb and vibration is turned on. I tried to disable notifications two days ago and they re enabled themselves. I'll see if disabling them again works. Other than that the app is great

I didn't like it because you can't hold down the strings, then play them with or other hand. I wanted a app that I could play and learn good tar with out the anything sound of not holding the strings down correctly. That and I couldn't get the rhythm I wanted. In my opinion, it was nothing like the real thing. If this was school I would give the app a F-, for failure!

The ads are bit much if you're recording. The sounds are passable, everything functions fine. The app doesn't ask you to name your recordings, so you need to comb through the list and watch an ad for each track that you name. That's on top of watching 15 second ad after recording. 30 seconds of ads for each recording is time consuming, but hey, at least it's free?

if it wouldn't close the settings/options pages the instant after opening, one could change the parameters of the app ..and i that case is the best, however since the issue has been ongoing and if you're like me that wants different chords and such this isn't for you. if you are content with no options and the one set up that's default, you'll like it...but i'd give it zero stars just for the aggravation trying to open an option setting before the window closes....it used to work fine..

one of the best. ADs ruins your possibility of successfully finish playing anything longer than 4 seconds however. I wish it had a real distortion sound.. or pedal options would be wicked. I'd like more tuning options too. I play my real guitar mainly in c standard, but Id like to play as low as G standard on the app. I wish the neck width was adjustable as well. all in all I've been separated from my guitar for months and it's really nice to play my own songs on it at least. thanks creators.
