- How does it work?
-
It's very simple: you are presented with a random note on the fretboard, and are offered a variety of 9 choices for the correct answer. Just hit the key corresponding to the correct choice to score a hit!
As your score gets better and you manage to identify notes faster across the entire fretboard, your working knowledge of your instrument increases!
- Why would I want this ?
-
You would be amazed to know how many experienced guitarists have such a reduced knowledge of their instrument. Most people tend to confine their learning to tablature, and the shapes of certain chords and scales. More often than not, they have no idea what notes they are actually hitting!
If you want to take your playing to the next level, then Guitar Trainer is for you. You will gain a whole new understanding of the music theory behind the fretboard of your instrument! This will allow you to, among other things :
- Be able to play from sheet music more easily. Say good-bye to these amateurish tabs!
- Understand and learn chords and scales much faster!
- Transcribe your playing to music easily!
- Open up new horizons for improvisation and interacting with other musicians!
- Gain increased confidence in your playing as your understanding of your instrument gets more complete!
- Apply real music theory to your instrument, which is invaluable when composing songs.
Why waste time while waiting in line, or on the bus, when you could be perfecting your knowledge of your favorite instrument, right from your phone? This mobile application is a MUST HAVE for the serious musician!
By the time you reach the last level of the game, your brain will have been trained to the point that you will be able to identify any note on the fretboard in a split second, on the instrument and in the string tuning of your choice!
