9 applications that need any guitarist

I never cease to rejoice as smartphones help us in everyday life. They are able not only to work with e-mail and go to Twitter. In this article I will discuss how a smartphone can help the guitarist. 9 We will consider applications for iOS and Android, which have to have every self-respecting guitarist.

To get started is to decide on the kind of assistance can have a smartphone musician, in particular, the guitarist. First, the tuner. I have a normal tuner for guitar, and I must say that quality application does not yield to him.

Secondly, the metronome. If you consider yourself a cool musician metronome that is no longer needed, I have bad news for you. To engage with the metronome can be and should be for a long time to develop a sense of rhythm. Again, you can buy a real metronome but why do it if you have a smartphone?

Finally, a variety of musical applications such as Garage Band and Ultimate Guitar. They are difficult to attribute to a single category, but they are absolutely sure of your attention, and spent money on them. In fact, many of them are free.

My main device - iPhone. Despite the fact that the latest Android smartphones are already caught up and even surpassed the iPhone in functionality, iPhone in the music industry is still number one. And rightly so. Therefore, the quality of many musical applications for iPhone is much higher than for Android. But let us not dilute iOS vs Android war and get down to business!

Put the phone next to guitar, spend six strings at once, and Hardwire system shows all the strings simultaneously. Very convenient, and most importantly - really works! There is a version for iOS and Android.

metronomes

Metronome

An excellent choice for iPhone owners. Minimalistic design, precise tempo setting, rhythm and dynamics, as well as the choice of sounds. The only drawback is that the metronome is disabled when the screen is locked. Playing with headphones standing, I want to put the smartphone in your pocket. With this metronome that does not take place.
