Nothing for android, so I can't use it.

Very cool!

hopefully more songs/eras to come, but from first glance, it is a very cool GD guitar teaching resource.

peace,

Presumably, they've done something to correct the tuning issue with that album; I.e. The fact that if you tune to standard a440, you won't be in tune with the songs.

Looks fun. Anyone try it yet?

I'm using it on the iPad and it is kind of fun. I don't have a line in, and am playing along with an acoustic, so I don't know how the in app guitar sounds.

It keeps crashing on me. Downloaded the app to my iPhone, got through the introduction part then bam - nothing. Even just updated my latest iTunes and iPhone software but nada. Kinda sucks cause I already have the iRig connection - which is pretty cool itself for what it's designed for - so I'm hoping someone has some advice for me - or the developers read this and fix it so the updates work.

When all else fails - delete and download app again for another try - this time I got through to the accept terms screen and the app started. Looks pretty cool with the scrolling tab. If it keeps working I may be in for a few hours of some fun tonight.

do you think i would need an irig thing or would a regular adaptor from like radio shack work to plug in?

I'm using it on my iPad with an iRig. It has crashed and it's a little rough sounding. Just a little bit of time with it so far but it should be cool.

by **Cmnaround** » Sun Apr 08, 2012 7:15 pm

They mention iRig but say any adaptor so you are probably fine with what you have.

Screw this!!!! Bend your ear to hear the tune....you'll be better off for it in the long run.

I went out and got the iRig last night. Pretty cool little thing for quiet practice. Like a mini amp in your pocket!

The only one I seem to be having porblems with is the most complicated one...and that's the one I wanted it for. Just a fun practice tool...but the tracking and seem to get a little overwhelmed and it crashes...it will get fixed.
