If you have a question, "Why?", Then you have little understanding of the opportunities that are open to guitarists iOS device. Connect your guitar to your iPhone or iPad, you can adjust it perfectly on the tuner, or play on the road any place where there is no amplifier, record suddenly invented melody or just play with effects. To learn how to do it and what we need, I will tell you below.
So, what we need:
- Electric guitar.
- Conventional cable jack-jack.
- iPhone or iPad.
- Any application that supports the connection of a guitar. For example, Garage Band.DownloadQR-CodeGarageBandDeveloper: Apple

- iRig adapter or any other device.
All except the last one for sure you have in stock. iRig same - a special adapter to connect the instrument to the iOS device. It can be purchased at any online store. I decided proekspementirovat and ordered a Chinese counterfeiting device. Comparing, I realized that it works as well as the original. Chinese copies can be found in popular Chinese online stores.
IRig looks so.
Then everything is simple. Inserting one end of the cord into a standard guitar, the second iRig. The iRig is another socket into which you can insert headphones or speakers, if you want to listen to as you play. the adapter itself, we insert in the iOS device.
Now you need to go to any external tools supporting the application. As I said earlier, you can use the standard Garage Band. In it, you can record a guitar as a separate track, to change the sound with different amps and effects pedals and a built-in tuner to tune your guitar.
For those features Garage Band is not enough, I can advise JamUP application. It is more enchanted by the sound recording and less subject to its editing.

Of course, the sound is produced with the guitar, is inserted into the iPhone or iPad is far from the quality, but you yourself know how many applications can be found even such a sound.
