About this app

40 great tools for learning, composing and playing for students or professional musicians. Everything works equally well for guitar, ukulele, bass or many other stringed instruments. Expect THE reference for chords, scales and picking patterns for any tuning. Or THE songbook with access to the world's largest catalogs of lyrics, chords and TABs.

Only the best should be good enough. Expect a best-integrated set of tools. Basics like tuner, metronome or circle of fifths. But just better. The tuner has e.g. an extra string change mode or the metronome a speed trainer.

The ultimate chord library knows every chord and fingering for every instrument and tuning. Without exception! Conversely, there is a chord name for any fingering.

A songbook that is second to none. It finds every song imaginable with chords for any tuning and instrument. Without registration and account. It converts songs for guitar independently for ukulele, bass or banjo. Or vice versa from ukulele to guitar, etc. Of course with the corresponding chords and favorite fingerings. Incredibly functional: Intelligent line break, auto scroll, zoom, audio and video player, drum machine, YouTube integration, pedal support, online editor and viewer, and much more.

Scales galore. Play the scales with all kinds of patterns. Like the pros. And also sometimes different from what you are used to. Provides the diatonic chords for every scale and vice versa.

Expect extraordinary tools like a fingerpicking trainer, a transposer or a tone generator. Or a drum machine for songbook accompaniment or as a rhythm trainer. Or the innovative scale circle. It applies the principle of the circle of fifths to hundreds of scales and modes.

I've been using this app for the past week or so, and it's the best one I've found for keeping chords and lyrics. You get an automatic scrolling feature, FOR FREE, which is amazing; And I simply love being able to edit and layout everything yourself. The only issue I've run into is when you're writing or editing a song, it can be quite glitchy at times, which is pretty common for most apps that have writing features. (I only have the free version right now! But I'll edit it when I get the rest.)

I needed a tuner but it has everything a guitar player or musician could need. The chord finder showed me what chords I'm playing in the song I'm working on. There's so much in this little app it almost feels like stealing. Edit: To the developer, can you have the app prevent the screen from going dim and off? Request Android to stay awake while using? Edit 2: You already have it in the options. You rule.

I saw this as I'm a guitarist also learning ukulele and cavaquinho and I decided after about 5 mins to pay for the unlimited. There are so many features I've barely scratched the surface but I know this app will be my best buddy for years and years to come!!! I especially love being able to give it a chord and have it show me all variations of fingerings and voices making learning from lead sheets much less stressful when working out which position to play a chord in. Buy it, you won't regret it
