Description

Solo is the ultimate practice App for mastering fretboard visualization, designed by world renowned guitarists Tom Quayle and David Beebee.
Four powerful fretboard trainers allow you to work intuitively on each aspect of the visualization process; learning note names, memorising interval shapes, outlining chord changes, and practicing scales.
Solo asks you to find intervallic functions against one root note, chord symbol or scale at a time, listens to the notes you play, and doesn’t move on until you’ve correctly found each note by its intervallic function in the specified order.
Practice with Solo and finally learn your note names, master interval shapes, confidently play through chord changes and break out of scale boxes with intervallic functions. Start transforming your playing and confidence on the fretboard today!

NOTE TRAINER
The Note Trainer is perfect for beginner and intermediate players getting to grips with note names on the neck - the foundation of solid fretboard knowledge.
‣ Solo shows you random root notes to find and listens, waiting for you to get it correct.
‣ Slide on the interactive fretboards for helpful diagrams and to study alternative options. Choose from 6 string guitar (standard and 4ths tuning), 7 string guitar, 4 string bass & 5 string bass.
‣ Optional practice suggestions offer challenging ways to limit and test yourself.
‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session.

INTERVAL TRAINER
The Interval Trainer will help players at all levels work on interval shapes with intervallic functions - the key to unlocking true freedom on the fretboard.
‣ Choose any combination of intervallic functions to practice.
‣ Create custom interval groups or choose the intervals for ANY chord type or scale.
‣ The Interval Trainer will randomise your chosen intervals and ask you to find them against either a fixed or random root note.
‣ Slide on the interactive fretboards for helpful diagrams, showing you where all of the interval shapes are across the neck, and to study alternative options. Choose from 6 string guitar (standard and 4ths tuning), 7 string guitar, 4 string bass & 5 string bass.
‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session.

CHANGES TRAINER
In the Changes Trainer you find intervallic functions, using single notes to outline different chord types or sets of chord changes, a key skill for learning to improvise through chord changes.
‣ Practice outlining intervallic functions through over 100 common chord progressions and single chord exercises.
‣ 50 intervallic function levels. Go from simple chord tones to complex melodic structures and scales.
‣ Solo intelligently maps out the correct intervals over each chord and listens for you to play each intervallic function in the specified order.
‣ Powerful workout options provide almost limitless ways to challenge yourself.
‣ Transpose the key of any progression or exercise.
‣ Choose to randomly transpose the progression (or single chord exercise) each time it repeats.
‣ Work on voice leading chord tones through single note lines.

SCALE TRAINER
The Scale Trainer contains a vast array of scales and powerful workout options, allowing you to finally break out of the box and develop a much deeper understanding of how scales are constructed on the fretboard.
‣ Practice finding scales on the fretboard using intervallic functions.
‣ Over 50+ Scales and modes.
‣ Powerful workout options provide almost limitless ways to challenge yourself.
‣ Melodic sequence options let you focus on starting from any chord tone within the scale.

Very good, few ideas

Apatokfaszat on

Hungary

I think it would be nice to eliminate same notes occuring after each other. Also i found it a bit uncomfortable that i always have to look up on my phone and then down the fretboard. I think adding some text to speech would be a nice touch. And then some sound that indicates that i found the correct intervals. Could be an additional feature that can be turned on. Apart from that i already broke out of only seeing shapes and scales and now i can basically construct any chords real time on any part of the fretboard. :) Been playing for 15 years so its awesome to have somewhere to evolve my playing.

This is just straight up perfect. I managed to break out of the box and thinking of the fretboard as a whole.

Really great! But…

Love this app. But as someone who bought it just to learn the note names on the fretboard I can’t believe there isn’t an option to choose just the natural notes or perhaps a key. It seems like a small thing but having to practice with all the note names: natural, sharp, flat and enharmonic is too many when starting out. Something as simple as a “natural notes only” option would be huge.

Zoom Deep Inside of the Fretboard

Our vision, as guitarists, is typically related around large scale shapes that run up and down the neck and large arpeggios that run up and down the fretboard. This can help take us to a certain point, where we tend to plateau. Sølo offers a different way of seeing the fretboard. It offers a zoomed in view of the fretboard that is built on a deeper knowledge of the fretboard that focuses on note recognition, i.e. knowing the exact note of every fret in every position, and then all the corresponding chord tones, arpeggios and scalar shapes around any given note. I have been using it for a few days now and it forces me to slow down and it forces me to see the fretboard in a more active way that uses up more mental resources which seems harder. Sølo forces us to use or develop different muscles, and it is a mental workout. For me, it’s even more of a mental workout because I usually keep my guitar tuned down to Eb standard, so I have to play everything one fret sharper than it would otherwise appear on my fretboard. I am thinking about returning my guitar to E standard as that makes sense but I wanted to get started right away. Now I am getting used to the app, and I definitely don’t recommend using non standard tunings because it is unnecessary complications for the learning process. This app works well for bass players and different stringed instruments as you can adjust the settings of the app to match your instrument. Overall, it is an excellent app and a unique tool for developing a deeper understanding and knowledge about your fretboard.

Worth the money!

An awesome app for chord changes and beginners to practice learning the notes across the fretboard. I would also would like possibly adding the ability in the app to train your ear. The app plays a pitch and then you find the note or chord on the fretboard.

Top notch!

This is more than worth the money! I wish this thing was around years ago! Put in the work… And it works!

This is the approach I ended up with after 45 years of playing.

Wow, where I would have gone if I started from here. I followed everything I just never had a place to start. I feel inspired to hit the woodshed again. For physical limitations I had to go from acoustic guitar to electric, then to ukulele and now baritone ukulele. The loss of the 6th and 5th string really forced me to learn the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd strings that I only kind of knew. I can see where Solo where really assist me. ANY CHANCE FOR A BARITONE UKULELE PROFILE (d g b e)? :)

Game changer at any level

No better than a tuner

I paid $15 to have something identify a note and tell me if I’m playing it. All of the other functions are grayed out and don’t work. No part of the app or it’s help explains how I unlock them. What a waste of money.
