Guitar Scales & Chords Power

To improve your guitar playing, learn scales, chords, and the relationship between them. Stay in tune with the tuner and enhance your rhythm by practicing with the metronome. Practice scale loops to master positions and develop muscle memory. Engage in scale exercises that will improve your finger dexterity and ability to improvise. Begin slowly and gradually increase your speed as you improve. Play scales and chords by swiping across the strings. The direction of the swipe determines whether the playback is ascending or descending. Tap on a note to play it. Scale positions correspond to the CAGED system, which consists of five patterns that cover the fretboard for each scale. The chord shape for each position is displayed to assist you in learning it in any key. The tuner offers a chromatic mode or the option to select from various tunings. The tuner and instruments use an adj. reference frequency, set to 410 Hz - 470 Hz (default A = 440 Hz). The Circle of Fifths displays common chords for a key, aiding in composing music, learning key signatures, and transposing songs to different keys. Metronome provides click and drum voices, beat subdivisions, and tap to set the BPM (10 - 400). Time signatures: 2/2, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 3/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, and 12/8. Create PDF diagrams (color and black-and-white) of scale positions or all notes on a full fretboard, as well as diagrams of all chord notes on a full fretboard. These 8.5” x 11” PDFs are easy to print, save, and share.
