Description

One of the first steps in ear training is recognizing intervals, which are the distances between two notes. Because every melody, chord, or scale consists of a series of intervals, this is a fundamental and valuable skill in music.

Our app is designed to help you identify intervals and learn how to locate them on the guitar. By improving your knowledge of intervals on the guitar, you can easily decipher chord progressions, replicate melodies as you hear them, gain a better understanding of written music, and more.

Key Features

- Choose from 17 selectable intervals, ranging from unison and minor seconds to major tenths.

- Select between melodic and harmonic intervals, for both ascending and descending.

- Get a visual representation of intervals on the guitar.

- Choose the root note from two octaves.

- Use portrait, portrait upside down, and landscape modes.

- Optional voice function for convenient training, even in the car.

- Practice and test (quiz)modes.

- Intervals are categorized by difficulty level, with each group having 6 progress indicators corresponding to different interval types (melodic ascending/descending, harmonic ascending/descending, random melodic, random harmonic/melodic).

- Optional reference melodies for each interval can be played, helping you learn intervals faster.

- When practicing harmonic intervals, the app classifies the interval as consonant or dissonant, helping you identify harmonic intervals effectively.

- Access over 10 alternate tunings, including NST (new standard tuning) and all fourths tuning, making it easier to recognize similar patterns across the fretboard for the same intervals.

- An option to play only tapped notes (interval type "None") is available, which is useful for figuring out melodies or experimenting with alternate tunings.

- In practice mode, the root can also be played as the second note in the interval.

- The app supports left-handed and bass guitars.

- Enharmonic equivalent notes are used to maintain classical interval names, ensuring consistency with written music (e.g., the 3-semitone interval C - D# will be called a minor third C - Eb).

- Practice and test intervals within a scale context, as the same intervals can sound different in various scales. This feature allows you to play partial scale runs of the interval automatically backward and/or forward in your chosen scale.

- Visualize over 15 essential scales on the fretboard. The scale notes are clustered and colored to clearly indicate the root note to which the interval applies.

- Our app is universal, designed for iPhone and iPad.

- Support for all screen sizes.

- Dark mode support (iOS 13+).

- Tested on iOS and iPadOS 17.

Life saver for learning intervals

Mrbrentbt on

It just keeps playing the intervals and then says the interval after a length of time you set. This allows you to just listen and name the interval without having to touch anything. I lay in bed, set the app to give me the answer after 5 seconds. Then I just lay there and listen to each interval, guess the name and then after five seconds the app gives me the answer and then moves to the next interval to guess automatically

Awesome‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Excellent ear/interval training

MusicmanJoe10 on

I have tried many apps and most are garbage. This app has a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure it out it is easy to use and makes learning intervals and notes easier to recognize. I highly recommend this app!

I am impressed

jh17 on

I've tried quite a few different interval training apps (5-7 by my best estimate) over the past year or so and after ten minutes with this one I'm quite impressed. The sheer number of adjustable settings seems a bit overwhelming at first, but the in-app instructions are well-written and I was able to start testing myself almost immediately. That said, I would not recommend this app for someone who is not familiar with the guitar fretboard or interval construction. While I think ear training is a very important part of developing musicianship, I would argue that those who are just starting to study intervals would be better suited by app that demonstrates intervals on a piano/keyboard as they are much easier to "visualize" in the more linear fashion that a keyboard provides. It's obviously possible to play linear scales on one string on the guitar, but this is not how scales are most commonly used/constructed by guitarists. If, however, you do understand the fretboard layout and perhaps know some scale patterns already, this app will be useful to you. As a guitar player I'm particularly excited to try the alternate tuning settings, which will no doubt be challenging at first. Anyway, if you're on the fence, spend the $3 on this app - I believe it will be a powerful asset to anyone who uses it diligently, myself included.

Awesome app!!

Does what it says and lots of options. Very useful to learn your intervals without guitar in hand. Not sure what else one can ask for. Maybe test melodies?

Love it!!

SixStringFool on

I use a lot of apps to supplement my regular practice time with my guitar. This is a great addition to the collection. I've gotten pretty good at identifying intervals by ear, but this app helps me to connect those intervals directly to the guitar. There's a ton of configurable settings which makes it great for players of all levels. The only thing missing for me is multiple note melodies. It would be great if it could play 4-5 note sequences that you have to play back. :)

Love this app!

I love this app. Looks beautiful, easy to use, easy to learn from, and great for ear training. One of the best. The sounds are amazing too.

GREAT LEARNING APP

I've been playing guitar most of my life and just recently began taking lessons. My instructor is focusing on intervals and hearing notes before they are played. I found this app to help me along and I will say it has advanced my interval/ear training by leaps and bounds. My guitar playing has jumped to a different level since I started the interval/sound training. It would have taken so much longer without this app. It is a very simple app that will take your musical abilities to levels you never knew where there. Anyone wanting to go to the next step should use this app. I could see this app helping with any instrument you play.

Unbelievably responsive developer!

Nimbleswitch on

I ask for a unique tuning, he makes it for me overnight. Now he even has customizable position markers so now I even have my weird position markers, too. I suppose next he'll come up with a fretless option with the note circles shifted a bit up to where the frets were. (I can't bring myself to ask for that much, though.) What fantastic apps these are: Bass Sight and Guitar Intervals!

One new test option would make this fantastic

Tillotwa on

As an ear trainer, it's useful. But the one thing that would make this really useful for me is a reverse test - tell me the interval WITHOUT showing me the root, and then ask me to play the right note. When reading jazz charts, this is always the trickiest thing for me - to immediately grab the 3rd of a B chord, or the 7th of a G chord. Seems like it would be an easy add, and make the app more versatile as a drilling tool.
