New to guitar? No problem. Play along, and the app listens and tells you how you did. Guitar Highway is a guitar practice app that listens to your real guitar through the mic or your audio interface. No cables or extra gear needed - just put your phone in front of you and play. THE GUITAR HIGHWAY - Play each note as it reaches the line. The app follows your pitch and timing and lets you know right away: PERFECT or GOOD. - Notes look like a rhythm game: a block where you play and a band for held notes. Bends, slides and vibrato show up and sound. - Chord diagrams and finger numbers show exactly where to press. Bass (4-string) practice is supported too. PRACTICE WITH THE ORIGINAL SONG (NEW) - Pick a song file you own and hear it split into guitar, bass, drums and vocals. It runs on your device. - Match your own score (a Guitar Pro file or a sheet photo) to the song, with timing and pitch matched automatically. - Mute the part you play and jam with the rest as the original backing. - No score? It finds the chord progression in the song and gives you 8 strum patterns. - Save a backing without your instrument and play or sing along any time. - Bring your own audio files. The app does not provide or sell songs. START FROM ZERO - 8 COURSES - Start: first chord, first song - Add chords & change chords - First strums & progressions (upstrokes, waltz, calypso, 4-chord progressions) - First melody songs, Fingers & scales, F chord and first barre, First classical piece, Electric guitar techniques - All courses are open. On first launch, a quick sound check and an easy first tuning get you going. - Every day, "Today's Guitar Highway" walks you through tuning > warm-up > today's course > one song. - Sore fingers or a long session? The app reminds you to take a break. AT YOUR OWN PACE, THEN IN RHYTHM - Slow waits for you to play. Pass it and you move on to the next day. - On beat tells you how early or late you were, and earns you a bonus star. - Stuck? Try it a little slower, or move on and come back later. - Strum where there's no arrow and you'll see a gentle "Extra strum" hint. - Pluck the first note three times to start - keep your hands on the guitar. SONGS START WITH CHORDS - Learn songs step by step: chords on the beat > chords with strumming > melody. - With earphones, the melody and backing play along so it feels like a real jam. YOUR SHEET MUSIC, READY TO PLAY - Snap a photo of sheet music and the notes become a song you can play right away. - Import MusicXML and PDF files too. GUITAR PRO FILES, AS THEY ARE - Open gp, gpx, gp5 or gp4 files and pick your part. - The other tracks play as the original backing, and strings, frets, fingers and techniques come along too. TUNER AND METRONOME BUILT IN - A tuner that follows you as you switch strings. - New to tuning? Open the step-by-step tuning guide right on the tuner screen. WATCH YOUR PRACTICE ADD UP - XP and levels, streaks, weekly challenges and badges, a weekly summary and report. - Songs scoring 80+ earn stars in "My Collection", and you can compare your first recording with today's. - On beat takes are recorded automatically; turn on video mode to save the screen as video too. - The result screen shows your timing and lets you play again anytime. - Family members can keep separate progress on one device. - Song analysis runs on your device. No internet or login needed. - Earphones keep the app's sounds out of the mic so it hears you more accurately. - Recordings and videos stay on your device. No sign-up or login needed. - Only anonymous usage stats are sent to improve the app, and you can turn them off in Settings.
