Solo - Fretboard Visualization Positive Reviews

The FIRST beneficial guitar APP!! Open the gate of music!Tom is a great guitarist and instructor. I have several of his courses from his website. I saw he had came out with this app. And just knew if he had anything in putting it together it would be awesome. Firstly this is the way to learn guitar, sadly it took 12 years of playing for this stuff to start showing up in my playing. Will definitely hit a wall in progress with playing if not thinking of target notes and the intervallic structure of chords/scales. It’s crazy I’ve been thinking of a way to practice this stuff in this way like flash cards or something! Guess that’s why I’m writing the review and Tom made the app! But extremely grateful for this contribution to the art and if a lot of young guys start using and learning this way it will change music!.GordetteVersion: 1.0

Great app, but just a suggestion.This is a great app, I love the purpose behind it. I feel with time it will greatly help me to become a better guitar player. However, I would caution saying this app could be suited for beginners. Personally in my experience most beginners have zero theory knowledge. And even for those beginners who are learning theory, I feel this app could be a bit advanced and maybe even a little discouraging for them. Beginning players usually benefit from song audio references, scale and chord diagrams and what not, and I feel this app has a different focus in mind. I would suggest aiming this app at the intermediate to advanced player in terms of theory, not playability. Some people may get the wrong idea if they don’t read all of the literature from the website. Other than that, keep up the great work!.Louie plays guitar!Version: 1.3.2

Very efficientOver many years i have spent a lot of cash on music books, videos, cd’s, incompetent teaching methods, name it iv’e probably owned it. You could say that i am a well rounded guitar manipulator, as the saying goes “a player of many, a master of none”. This app is exactly what it says, it is a help- mate. Meaning, no matter what curriculum you choose it all comes down to putting your time in. This app will give you some very powerful platforms to work from, its up to you to perform those platforms. I would honestly and will, tell my friends about this app, because it has substance with only as much difficulty to challenge you to put your time in. For me, I have over the years been very fortunate to be in bands as a vocalist, not having to play guitar all the time. But really, within those bands I was left behind as far as guitar abilities. So, my point is, yes get this app, but don’t forget you must put in the time. You cannot avoid it, if you wish to fulfill your dreams, do your time. I wish you all of the fortune out there to get. Godbless And to those who created this app, job well done, i will use this app as a reference for work, and also when i practice. I practice no less than 3 hours a day, and sometimes up and to 8 hours. Goodluck Everyone Burley Lerux.XXXX-15Version: 1.0.1

No gimmicks, just real practice!As a guitar player of 30+ years, I understand theory and the fretboard. But putting the two together while improvising can still be a struggle (or to add flavor when soloing). This app is perfect for developing those quick mental and physical music theory connections! The “flash card” style practice sessions are fantastic for the player that can play with ease but needs to sharpen those fretboard navigation skills. If you are a guitar player that is beyond basic chords and scales, then this app is for you. Even if you are an advanced player, use this to improve your speed, accuracy, and sharpen your theory skills..XhosedraggerxVersion: 1.4.5

Seriously key learning toolI’m a couple days in on a self structured practice routine (one of the good things and hard things about this app, you have freedom and responsibility in deciding how you’ll use it.) Having learned scale shapes, chord shapes, caged system, etc. There has always been something missing, in the way my brain takes that information and understands how to use it in context, and then project it on the fretboard. This app is already bringing it all together. I’d say it has to be an invaluable piece of learning for any guitarist from now on. And, it’s reasonably priced, No monthly membership. Awesome. Great job fellas!.JimcogneatoVersion: 1.0.1

ImpressedI started playing jazz saxophone in primary school and guitar for fun. This app helped click the type of understanding of chords I had on the saxophone within a few minutes of use . I was surprised how intuitive it was. If I could make one suggestion it would be that I would like the option for it to listen through a usb interface so that I can use the app while there is background noise going on. I haven’t quite gotten the sensitivity right as it’s picking up the tv for instance as well. Other then that really impressed with how “simple” and effective this method is ..RafaAzeVersion: 1.0.1

Perfect Timing (and iRig Compatible)In the last couple months I’ve dedicated myself to really learning the fretboard. In doing so I’ve been coming up with my own practice regimen that’s less than optimal, and wishing I had something like automated flash cards. I wake up this morning to find this app. PERFECT! I’m sure there will be lots of suggestions for additional features, but this initial version has the main things I want and need right now. I was also very hopeful that I could connect my iRig so I can practice in quiet and that seems to work flawlessly..TonkageorgioVersion: 1.0

Very useful. Two suggestions.Understanding and being able to find intervals in real time is critical to improving musicianship. I think this app will definitely help me with that. There are two features I can think of that would make the app better in my opinion. I’d like to see a built in metronome to optionally enforce steady time and it would be great if there was an optional visual representation of the intervals on a staff to reinforce recognizing intervals by sight. Thanks for a great practice tool.FrontporchbluesVersion: 1.4.5

Abandoned by Developers - Decent App as it SitsGood app for what it does, but don’t expect a ton of development or bug fixes / innovation from the developers. This was a fairly expensive application that has since been largely abandoned by David and Tom. I’ve had a few email exchanges with David about it and they always seem to have something in the works, but nothing ever comes of it. So, for what this app does today, it works well, but when you purchase an app for $10, I’d expect a little bit more in terms of future updates and innovation. Personally it kind of feels like a money grab if I’m being honest..DadsoutrunningVersion: 1.4.5

Good but could be betterI have learned a lot about my lack of fretboard knowledge through this app. It’s too early to know if this actually improves my playing or improvising. One feature I would like is to ask for is generating a single random note to improve fretboard knowledge. The scale exercises aren’t truly random. Unless you leave the session it will use the same “random” pattern. I would also like the scale exercises to repeat automatically like the chord exercises. Oh and the developers do not respond to questions..Greener pastures maineVersion: 1.3.2

Brilliant IdeaThis app is a positive feedback monster. Can I do everything this app has me do alone, without the app? Sure! But it’s boring, and I just don’t do it. The genius here is that I get a little dopamine hit each time I hit the right note and move along in the changes. It harnesses the sinister power of gadgetry addiction and uses it for good. I’m now using it for guitar, mandolin, and voice. It won’t do anything for my “time feel”, but it will certainly up my fretboard visualization game. Intervallic Functions forever!.EtouseVersion: 1.0

Jacob SingerA great practice tool for guitarists looking to take their game to the next level by playing through the changes. Well worth the money. Might feel pricey for an app but cheaper than an instructional book and better designed than most scale books. This app always has me working at my limits. It is frustrating in the best possible way because I know I am learning something new..J.C. SingerVersion: 1.3.0

Best Guitar Training App Out ThereWish I had this a long time ago. I’ve been follow Tom and buying his courses for a while now and I’ve always liked his style of teaching. As soon as I heard he developed an app, I was all over it. It’s very intuitive and there’s absolutely no fluff! The only thing I wish it had was a function that randomized the next scale after each time you complete the previous one..Persistence PropertiesVersion: 1.3.2

Great practice toolIf you want to make this better you would add a feature that indicates to you which notes to play, and not just the intervalic values. You’d grab those beginner players too, and teach them the first step to using this app: knowing the notes on the neck. That would be a game changer for a lot beginners and old timers who never quite got around to it, and everyone in between..DrofusVersion: 1.4.3

Exactly the tool I’ve neededRecently started learning theory from the ground up after nearly 18 years of playing. This app works hand in hand with all of the aspects I study and I nearly immediately had noticeable improvements in the way I navigate the fretboard. This app has quickly become my go-to for practicing on the guitar and also ear training. Thank you to the team behind Solo!.SlippyjimmyVersion: 1.0.1

Solo is amazingI’ve been trying to contrive my own exercises to better learn intervals on the fretboard, and this solved *all* of my problems. One thing I particularly like is that there’s no gamification, so there’s no implicit pressure to abandon a practice session if you’ve made some mistakes. It’s a really well thought out and well-executed piece of software. I look forward to seeing what additional features they add after launch..1970s Abraham LincolnVersion: 1.0

Game changerThis app if used properly will change the way you see your guitar fretboard forever. This thing has the potential to open your brain to see connections and patterns where before there was random bits and bobs. This could be the best gift you give to your musical journey..SportVersion: 1.4.5

DisappointedI recently started using this app. Viewed training videos. This app isn’t for beginners and maybe not for intermediate level players. I’m a visual learner; however, I’ve been told by my guitar instructor that I have a talent for knowing notes/chords by ear. I was expecting an interactive fretboard when doing scales. I also would like the option of seeing each note played in a scale instead of only seeing numbers (1, 3, 4, 6, 7)..AnnintermediateVersion: 2.1.0

Love it! Just needs one more feature.Great job on the app guys. I just need to be able to practice intervals on a virtual guitar neck while walking, riding the bus, etc. It would be amazing if I could touch the screen and hear the note and have it identified as correct or incorrect for the interval that I’m practicing..TyMan4Version: 2.1.0

Terrific interval trainingLove this app, and using as my daily training. Really gets my brain moving. To me this is a logical training device once you have learned your fretboard and basic patterns. If you haven’t learned the fretboard, this is actually a great training device for this as well..KwootvaVersion: 1.4.5

Made to helpI love that this app is connected to my guitar and knows what I’m playing. There’s really nothing else like this app. Makes me think and challenges my ability to see the fretboard and keeps me progressing in my guitar knowledge. Well worth the price..OwlVersion: 2.1.0

Contains a bunch of nice exercisesThis app gives an aspiring jazz artist a big arsenal of common turnarounds/pieces to practice with to build up a good core to further branch out from. My only suggestion is to expand the app to feature some further other instruments as well (such as piano)..NOoMeLoDyVersion: 1.4.3

Must have tool for fretboard visualizationI learned about this app by listening to “The Guitar Hour” podcast. Such an amazing tool to aid in fretboard visualization! Simply brilliant. The flexibility of this app allows one to drill all sorts of important fretboard visualization approaches in creative ways. Triads. Seven chords. Scales. Jazz standard progressions. There is a lot here!.BBraunVersion: 1.3.2

A great practice toolA lot of helpful exercises and practicing tips in this app. I would rate 4.5 if I could simply because I have a lot of feedback suggestions that would improve the app even more. I would wait a few months to support Tom and David when the app is perfectly refined..AustinM1998Version: 1.0

Fantastic ToolThis app is a powerful learning tool. If you want to seriously improve your knowledge of the guitar neck this is for you. I plan on asking all my students to pick this up. As much information as a well written guitar instruction book, but half the price. And it’s interactive!.JaSoNdReHVersion: 1.0

Great appLove this app. Its a great practice tool for me. One thought for an improvement is to have a mode that plays a pitch that you have to match with your instrument, without telling you what note or notes are being played. That would really help me develop my fretboard knowledge as well as my relative pitch..Andrewmusic101Version: 2.1.0

For more advanced interval trainingThis isn’t a beginner app. I got this a while back and deleted it because it confused me. Now that I’m driving more head-long into theory and ear training, I’m finding this app extremely game changing. It’s made me think of theory in a new way, and it takes the work out of figuring out if I’m playing the right interval They even throw in tutorial videos and graphs of the interval shapes AND it works flawlessly with my iRig 2 interface Well worth paying for.PortShadowVersion: 1.4.5

Good practice tool... butSuper great app. The only thing I want added is the ability to choose the chords I want to work on. So my only option isn’t just the songs that come with the app..Mcjesse69Version: 1.3.2

Not for BeginnersGood app, if you already know the fretboard and notes of the scales. Only giving the intervals, and not an option to see the notes those intervals correspond to is frustrating. Seems a simple thing to add and open the usefulness to more folk. Especially as a paid app..Westrosi ResidentVersion: 1.4.5

Fantastic practice tool.Tom and David have developed a practice tool that can help a beginner as well as an advanced player. I have had it since it went live and have barely scratched the surface of what the app can do. Solo is a part of my daily practice routine. Thanks guys!!.Bruja2kVersion: 1.3.2

Nice app but one suggestionSeems like a great app and the tutorials included in the app are helpful to get the most out of the app. One suggestion would be to have the chords playing in the background so that I could hear say what the major 3rd sounds like in relation with the chord. That would make the app for me.GdthdthtrhVersion: 1.0.1

WOWThis app is a game changer for the average guitarist/musician. Addressing chord changes while soloing has always been a struggle for me, this app is demystifying the process in a big way. I’m seeing major results after only a few days of moderate use..TsprsVersion: 1.0.1

This is a great appI’m not sure why it’s not possible for people to add their own tunes or chord changes to the app. i know that i have iReal that i could use, but i like the “game” feel of this app as well as the way it forces me to think in intervals & scale degrees & the like.SpemezzVersion: 1.4.4

Missing link of guitar training appsFor me it reduces nebulousness of all possible guitar neck exercises to a sequence of specific, bite-size activities which I can focus on day to day without feeling bored or overwhelmed..HappychocoboVersion: 1.3.2

Start Here!Excellent improvisational tool. Start here with note detection and mastering the fretboard before venturing off into target note practice, intervallic pattern practice, linear playing, pentatonic scales, modal practice, altered scale soloing or practicing licks. This app will be added to my bibliography and cited in my dissertation! Thank you!.Roxy DePueVersion: 1.3.0

Love this toolA versatile and powerful tool to learn the fretboard and get fluent on your chord tone vocabulary. I use it for warm up every day and as an exercise workout on other occasions. Highly recommend..Paul.findurmasVersion: 1.3.2

Awesome!My goals for 2021 was to be able to understand and grasp musical concepts on the guitar. This app is incredible and I’m already enjoying and learning at my own piece much easier than any other “lesson” I’ve taken..YouModdedALeaseVersion: 1.0

Outstanding applicationVery intuitive and thought out extremely well..@rowan_69Version: 1.4.5

Perfect Practice ToolThe SOLO app teamed up with my iPad Pro, EVO 4 interface, and Headphones allow me to have a small footprint practice form near my bedside to learn and practice at anytime with ease. A wonderful tool and well worth the $15 US dollars. Bravo - Tom, David, and others involved!.Jas0nwad3Version: 1.3.0

Essential for serious guitaristsEssential for interval visualization, can’t wait for what they’re gonna bring to this app in future updates..J.D. Pelayo PetitVersion: 1.4.5

Simple and effectiveThe app has a clean interface and does what it says it will. I’m surprised and very happy at how effective it’s proving at helping me with fretboard visualization..RockisawomeVersion: 1.4.5

Great toolI use it for everything. Have even made up exercises to use with it. Powerful..DryerpicksVersion: 2.1.0

Worth ten times moreThe Solo app is the perfect tool for learning not only the fretboard but the form and function of chords notes and scales. This tool will revolutionize how the guitar is taught.Dsteep69Version: 1.4.4

Best app for truly learning something of importance on the guitarThis is a fantastic tool for any intermediate to advanced guitarists to get to that next level of a practical understanding of improvising.ShitrickVersion: 1.4.3

Good method!Super cool app for learning the fretboard in the context of tunes! I wish it would show chords multiple times if they had a duration longer than one measure. Also would be cool to more common changes like a free variations on rhythm changes and more standards..E123eeeeVersion: 1.0.1

Awesome job!Great App updates! I liked them so much that I even bit the bullet and joined the associated course. Would love to be able to see assignable colours in conjunction with the interval. For visual learning this adds another level of depth. I look forward to seeing more of this project! Geoff.RS_HeliVersion: 2.1.0

Great tool to learn intervalsHelps in learning intervals and their relative positions to the root. Tutorials are also helpful.Andrelin133Version: 1.4.5

EffectiveThese are the topics and concepts I learned in college. They will be very helpful to intermediate-advanced players..~LuWii~Version: 1.4.5

For less than half the cost of a lesson it’s a stealThis is the exercise regiment every teacher needs to do. This app provided me the training and exercises I kept asking teachers to provide. Tom Quayle is a gift to guitarists for making this app. So cheap and so valuable..BacondogVersion: 1.4.5

Well worth the $$$I was hesitant b/c price but I have never been so pleased with an app. Fretboard visualization alone is worth the price. Highly recommended. YouTube training is top notch and free..DonMcGillisVersion: 1.4.5

ExcellentWonderful app for interval based learning. Nothing out there comes close for building these skills..AldowainVersion: 1.4.5

Great appOnly feature missing is the ability to add your own chord progressions. That would send this over the edge. Fantastic app..TheblasteshnicianVersion: 1.4.4

Great jazz guitar trainerExcellent program for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to improve their improvisation skills and learn the fingerboard. Excellent program I wish this was around when I was starting to learn jazz guitar..RonpalaVersion: 1.4.3

Great AppI was hesitant due the price and the videos not showing what I was wanting to use it for. It is possible to plug the guitar in AmpliTube IOS (does not rely on the microphone), pick a simple pentatonic scale, ask to get a random sequence of 6 notes (starting and ending with the tonic), then you can find all these notes in one of the pentatonic forms of your choice. Once you find all the notes correctly, then you get a new sequence of six notes work with. It is perfect to get to know the notes in each of the pentatonic forms on the actual guitar, rather than on an image of the fretboard. It was worth the price..Bcote689Version: 1.4.2

Ahmed GhedjghoudjLove it.Ahmed GhedjghoudjVersion: 1.0.1

Fantastic toolPut in the work and you’ll see results almost instantly. I haven’t even been using it for two weeks and it’s already helped tremendously.Carl MacQueenVersion: 1.0.1

Incredible tool!The Solo app has been an incredible tool in helping learn the fretboard and be able to navigate it practically. It is so worth it and can be useful whether you’ve just started your journey or have been playing for years. Definitely recommend!.James Paul NonoVersion: 1.0.1

Excellent!I've struggled with scale shapes / never able to memorize them enough to really feel like I'm able to solo on guitar musically. A short time ago I started to try soloing just using intervals (actually I was counting frets accross and up/down the strings and then associating the calculated number of frets needed to arrive at the desired interval). For some reason (I'm a bit mathematically oriented so maybe that's why), I was able to start soloing right away all over the neck in major scale (albeit slowly) using this method (something I really struggled to do at all using shapes, caged...). Enter this app a few weeks later which fits right into my new found wheelhouse. Started using it today and noticed my speed in finding notes increasing after only a few minutes of use. I have a long way to go and I've tried a LOT of different learning methods - this one is really feeling good! Great app..Sprint290Version: 1.0

Good but needs improvementI've only spent 30 minutes with the app so far. If the designers read this, I think it would be much better if the app played the root or chord in the background to provide some context and substance with how the notes sound in key over the chord. Good for ear training that way. It almost seems like randomness to me the way it is now..TRD223Version: 1.0.1

An incredible tool for improvisationOne of the elements I’ve always struggled with was being able to ‘see’ the changes on the fretboard quickly and therefore always struggled to target them well. Like most guitarists, I could hit a few chords in a row well but would inevitably get lost on the fretboard or get lost with what I was hearing in my head but could never execute it right. Eventually I would start to drop out of time and resort to returning back to blues licks to save myself. I got pretty good at faking being a good improviser but I always knew that the real musicians in the room knew what was going on This app has given me a fighting chance at actually staying one step ahead of the changes instead of 3 steps behind them.Colin McArthurVersion: 1.0

Solo - Fretboard Visualization Negative Reviews

Cool but….I’m only five minutes into using it and I feel a little scammed which is surprising because I really like Tom Quayle and his stuff. It might just be my microphone on my iphone 10 is bad but i just openned up the scales exercises doing A dorian, i play A twice and the app counts it as the first AND 2nd note in the scale….like is this a joke….the whole point is for the app to track your notes accurately and individually and it wont even let me practice a basic scale without accidentally picking up notes im not playing. AND when it does work, it wont recognize the notes if i play faster than about 100 bpm up and down the scale….very disappointed 😞.Max1z2j6hVersion: 1.4.3

Support completely unresponsive - zero.Seems like a decent app. I needed help. I tried the FAQ, no joy for my issue. Sent an email to support. Waited 6 days, no response. NADA, NOTHING. I checked my spam and nothing. I initially rated as 2 stars as I figure the app must have some value, otherwise support gets ZERO stars. Update: Somone finally contacted me but then never answered when I gave them my original email. Now it has been a month! Totally unresponsive after I send emails to both email addresses. Can I PLEASE get a refund on this worthless subscription? If I pay for an app, I ought to get some minimal level of help. Total FAIL. I cannot give zero stars or I would..NoprndlhereVersion: 1.4.5

Not what I wantedThis is for guitar players that already have the entire fretboard memorized and know each note and each scale and chord configuration up and down the neck. It will show you the next chord or note to play but no tabs or any indication of where that note or chord falls on the fretboard. How simple would it be to show a quick diagram of the notes on the fret board or the chords for each change? I seriously want a refund but I suppose those don’t happen so I can only suggest an update that shows the tablature for each suggested note or chord. Add tabs please!!!.RoryfpVersion: 1.4.2

Don’t understand the benefitI don’t think this app is good for beginners. If you’re a beginner, you don’t even know what intervals are yet. Not only that, even if you do know what they are, there’s no way you have the intervals memorized for the various scales. When the app tells you an interval value (1,4,b7) it’s going to take a while to figure out where they are. I also don’t see how this is reinforcing anything nor is it really teaching you much as far as I can tell. Perhaps because I leaned scales as “patterns” my brain is not used to this but this is not helpful for me..Chris Berry 2Version: 1.4.2

Far Too Limited For $15I wrote a giant review and unfortunately lost it, so I am keeping this short: This app is crude and left the product development stage too soon. Features that many would consider basic do not exist. I would expect more from an app that costs $15. I would probably value it at $1 out of generosity. My advice: hold off on purchasing until several updates are released..JerryH20Version: 1.4.5
