WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“This app is amazing! I'm now knee deep in scales practice and this makes learning scales and scale patterns so much more fun. I'm an intermediate player that has always gotten by with just "winging it" on solos and learning scales....this app has improved my playing and the motivation to practice each day. You won't be disappointed as the price is less than another book of scales and theory.” MusicmanJoe10, March 9, 2016

“This app is the best for learning scales....modes.....in all keys......also has a chord tab for each mode in all of the keys. I've tried many methods and this is the best.....allows you to jam out and find your own voice...you're own way of expressing yourself on the guitar. Also has great lick dictionary if you can draw yourself away from jamming......seriously good. Period.” Urdliness, May 9, 2016

"I've never been more satisfied with an instructional app. It's simple, approachable interface makes interacting to learn more simple and fun." Elmo, March 19, 2015

PRACTICE TIPS

Learn the chord progression for each track, and then jump over to practicing scales. Guess what? There are only 5 'shapes' of a scale to memorize! Once you know them up and down, learn where they start for each key. Soon, you'll be able to solo like a pro.

TIPS FOR THE SCALE CHARTS

- Black dots are regular notes.
- Red dots are 'root notes'. These are notes of the key you are in.
- Blue dots are 'passing notes'. Including these notes puts you in a Blues mode.
