Guitar Gravitas: Chords Scales

I am an experienced guitarist but know most chording and theory based off of keyboard as piano was the instrument required as I learned at university. Prior to that I was self taught and seemingly useful in what I could do based on bands and recordings I sat in on. However.... It was obvious I could be more useful if I could communicate with more musicians. Ironically, my degree was computers and music using synths. After all of this I realized that what came natural via keyboard just didn’t translate to how I played guitar. Chording in particular was still pretty deficient on my end. Literally, I composed and wrote by ear and for lack of a better phrase, feel. But not anymore and that is because of Guitar Gravitas. I’d be lying if I said it has helped me to think more formally on guitar and I don’t know if I want to get too analytical, it’s partially superstitious but when I Do think that way - and this is me, others have been served well doing so - but I’m still kind of a guitar dilettante. But, I decided to check out the lessons literally today so if they are anywhere like the rest of the app it will take a positive purchase and make it stellar.

Great and error free source for a lot of well organized and useful information! Little crowded on a phone though. Maybe add an option to minimize some of the windows not being used? You might consider adding some quartal chords and scales in some future update to make your app stand out even more, with maybe an option to turn it off in settings for those who don’t believe in them. Big cheer for the developers for going the one time fee route and not the subscription route - good call. Great job overall!

I play left handed. This app can transpose everything from right to left: scales, chords, tabs. I primarily use it on my iPad, but occasionally use it on my phone to look things up. It is a stable app, and has only crashed when I had a ton of other apps open at the same time. I have no complaints for this app. Very useful for a beginner to advanced player who wants to learn chords, scales, keys, modes, and music theory, or just to figure out what you were playing when you made that cool sounding chord.

Intermediate and advanced players will dig the clean interface and versatility. The add-ones are only a couple bucks and worth it. Only missing feature that would make this the #1 killer app for me: The ability to identify/name chords that you play but cannot parse — a “reverse chord finder.” The latter is important to guitarists who cannot read music or haven’t studied scales and fretboard iterations.

Haven’t done much with it yet but it’s very useful in my first perusal. There is a lot on the screen for my iPhone 8s but it looks great on the iPad. I can glance at it on my music stand and see to learn. I’m a self taught guitarist. I have years of music theory and who knows someday I’ll totally comprehend it all. But in the meantime this is a great reference for me. I play several instruments.
