GuitarToolkit: A Guitar Players Dream App Review
Out of all the iPhone apps thee are this one has to be one of my favorites. GuitarToolkit is like having your very own personal musical instructor!
First, to open the app simply select the guitar pick icon on your iPhone and you in!
Remember the good old days when you had to tune your guitar by another tuned musical instrument or if you were really good you did it by ear? Sure electric guitar tuners have been around for quite a while now but to have one included in an iPhone app just makes this application extra special, that brings me to one of the more useful features of this app like I said above is the tuning feature, select the string you are wanting to tune and with your guitar pluck the string, it registers on the applications meter, if you register at “0″ which is in the middle of the meter that string is in tune, if not tune that string higher or lower according to what side of the scale you are on until it registers zero, guitar tuning made easy!
Another feature of GuitarToolkit is the ability to hear what certain chords sound like , simply choose the chord you want to hear and swipe the screen from left to right to play the chord, what about left handed players you say? just go into your options and change your setting from right handed to left handed and boom, you now have a left hand guitar setup! Easy as that!
The application is also great for beginners which is another feature that will show you finger placement for certain chords (some that I have never even heard of), again swipe the screen and you will see what it sounds like!
There are also options for 6 string, 12 string, base and base5 guitars which is definitely cool!
GuitarToolkit also has a metronome feature, for those unfamiliar with the term a metronome is a way for a musician to keep time in beats per minute, the current version of the app only offers 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 and no time signature, I would think as the app evolves these options will be increased.
At a price of $9.99 (U.S.) this app is a little more expensive than your other iPhone apps but for the guitar player whether you are novice or pro it is money well spent!
