Description

"…I love it!…that’s the funkiest stuff ever!” - John Scofield
"GuitAfrica is a wonderful app: it enables you to discover the richness and beauty of Pan-African music. African guitar playing is a real science and GuitAfrica gives you its secrets in a fun way!" - Angélique Kidjo
Un proyecto colaborativo con el guitarrista de fama mundial Lionel Loueke de Benin, África Occidental – GuitAfrica ofrece una manera informativa y divertida de aprender el estilo africano de tocar la guitarra.
Creemos que aprender música no debería ser tedioso ni un deber – debería ser divertido, inspirador y satisfactorio. Así que invitamos a Lionel Loueke a componer y tocar 22 maravillosas canciones especialmente para GuitAfrica. Representan y están inspiradas por los sonidos tradicionales de los grupos étnicos africanos de todo el continente.
Cada canción viene con partituras completas y partes individuales para guitarra, bajo y batería.
Las partes de guitarra y bajo vienen tanto en notación clásica como en tablatura, para que puedas aprender la digitación exacta de Lionel.
Cada canción viene también con una hoja de información detallada que describe el trasfondo del genero musical tradicional, instrumentos y etnicidad que la inspiró.

Creemos en producir los productos de mayor calidad posible, así que fuimos al estudio con una gran banda y un gran ingeniero de sonido para capturar la música de Lionel y su actuación.
Aprender cualquiera de las canciones es fácil. Aquí tienes un ejemplo de cómo puedes usar GuitAfrica:
Empieza escogiendo una parte para que puedas concentrarte en ella, quizá dejando el metrónomo y el bajo sonando para mantenerte en tiempo. Incluso puedes seleccionar unos pocos compases con la función “loop” y si no es suficiente, puedes ralentizar el tempo. De esta manera, poco a poco aprenderás todo el tema.
El siguiente paso es mutear la parte que has aprendido, dejar que suene todo lo demás y tocar encima como si fueras uno de los miembros de la banda.
Si quieres un desafío mayor, puedes cambiar el tono de la canción – va perfecto para aprenderse una frase en todos los tonos.
Es importante tocar no sólo las mismas notas que Lionel, también su sentimiento, por lo que una escucha atenta y mucha repetición son claves aquí.
La música africana tiene raíces profundas en el ritmo, así que la batería y la percusión te ayudarán a entender mejor la música.
GuitAfrica va perfecto no sólo para guitarristas sino también para todos los músicos que quieren aprender y entender música africana.
El iPad es perfecto para leer partituras con su gran pantalla, pero el iPhone también se puede usar ya que puedes hacer zoom en cada parte y se puede imprimir todo.
Nos costó definir o etiquetar GuitAfrica debido a que es una gran herramienta de aprendizaje, pero también nos encontramos escuchando esa misma música como si fuera un disco. Quizá esté en ese pequeño nexo entre arte y aprendizaje.

GuitAfrica Reviews

Amazing app

achikall on

United States

This app takes you to a guitar voyage across Africa!

superb app for musicians

Andreslocousa on

United States

gives you terrific compositions with ability to mute guitar and bass, drum and click, modify pitch tempo with real recordings with great feel. Totally cool learning and jamming. A must for bassist or guitarist who wants to expand his groove and chops. The composer has the goods, so does the app company (real book pro) SO GOOD

Excellent app

This app can support and inspire, and is a worthwhile complement to the essential iReal Pro, a game changer for musicians on iOS and ANDROID.

I've often read negative reviews for apps in the app store, and it's just because the person writing the review doesn't understand how the app works. I will admit, that in this case I need be one of those people. I heard Herbie Hancock rave about this app at one of his concerts when he was introducing his guitarist and the author of this app. The app had stellar reviews (only 12). It was on sale for $2.99 so I tried it out. This app is nothing more than some of the songs of the guitarist written out in sheet music and then the musical score is played along with the sheet music. If you're the kind of person who can read music, and is an advanced player that knows all the different techniques on an acoustic guitar, then this app may be of use to you. Otherwise it offers no tablature or tutorial instruction on the pieces. I'm giving this app two stars, because it purports to help guitarists learn to play, and it will only help those who are at a very high level.

Need finger tab version

MattJasper on

United States

Would be great to have a finger tab version for those of us who do not read music.... Song selection could be expanded, though existing selections are nicely implemented.

Props to Loueke and the programmers.

First off, most software companies would charge the app’s price for each of the >20 songs featured in this app; as singular app purchases. If you’re not familiar with Loueke’s virtuosity, you better start researching, i heard him for the first time playing in hancock’s band and been a fan ever since. , ALL songs are immaculately notated for all instruments, sheet can be followed synchronously w/ the music, or browsed/zoomed at user's own leisure. Each instrument can be turned on and off, and bpm & tonality changed, w/o ever pausing the music, and without slightest lag. Best of all? Coders involved demonstrate virtuosity on par with Mr. Loueke's , judging by the polished experience; 2 months of heavy testing, NOT a single lag/crash/glitch, ever. I’ve been an IOS app junkie for 4 years, and this is by far my fav. App so far. For the breadth of material being offered, 7 dollars is beyond cheap, it’s salvation-army pricing.

A Case Study in World Music Education

Absolutely wonderful! This the perfect example for tutorial apps in world music. I hope there will be more for all the great music in the world. Bravo!

Comprehensive Overview of African Music

Ojuoba on

United States

I have been searching for something like this for a long time. This app demystifies the huge umbrella category of "African music" and breaks it down into different styles from specific countries. The sheet music is very helpful to follow along, and I like how you can mute specific instruments to really understand each part of the groove. Plus, with this app, you get to play with African guitar master Lionel Loueke whenever you want!

Wow

Nicknamepissesmeoff on

I just got this app today and have been pouring over it. Absolutely fantastic app. Lionel Loueke is one of the greatest guitarists/musicians alive and his bassist, Massimo Bialcati, is a great app designer as well as a great bassist. I was at a club hearing them a few years ago and Lionel said, "Massimo has a new app you should check out." It was IRealBook which is one of the best apps ever and has evolved beautifully. This app shows the same level of care. The tunes are gorgeous and span a vast range of African countries and styles. The ability to mute and solo whatever parts you want as well as loop and slow down any section makes learning much easier. What a fantastic treasure trove of tunes and styles there are here. I've never seen a better learning tool for African Guitar (though there is a cool book with midi files called African Guitar styles I think that's pretty great, too). Having audiobus so you can record and rearrange the tunes any way you want is fantastic. So many possibilities. I'm looking forward to many happy hours and much learning with this app.
