Solo - Fretboard Visualization

Published by: Trio Software

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.

A great idea but too expensive

Praveen Sam on

Netherlands

The idea behind the app is amazing and I could see myself improving with the practice. I am a beginner with an electric guitar though I have regular practice with an acoustic. This is simply a tool in addition to regular development of one’s guitar skills. I regret buying it for almost €18. I do not think it has the value to justify the price. Maybe I will come back to the app later as I do find it useful to make sure you are hitting the intervals well. But for now I would rather put the money towards lessons and would only keep the app if it were between a third to half of the current price

Great app for practising with inspiration

Really nice app if you want to practice and understand fretboard visualizations.

Absolute great (for a beginner also)

WebDep on

Netherlands

As an older beginner guitar player this app will help enormously in understanding intervallic notes and chord construction. Tom, David (and team) keep up this good work. It would even more great if there is a visible fretboard that indicates the played notes. And (now I'm in feedback mode) the ability to self point out notes on the fretboard and figure out what chord that is and where the alternative voicings are off that chord.

Great App for knowing your instrument

Valid as well for other instruments

Great app. Missing one feature

Love this app. Dinged one star because I can’t add songs to practice changes. The app feels unfinished.

2 1/2 stars

I saw that I could use an audio interface with this app (class compliant) Witch I already have. After setting it up into the device no sound reaches the app. After reading the troubleshooting Section and following the instructions it still doesn’t register. I don’t like bothering people around me by playing with the amplifier, no choice but to do that now. The $15 spent on this app could be been spent on something else.

One of Improv's Best Tools

BerwickPatterson on

United States

There are no shortcuts to visualizing the fretboard despite what you may see on YouTube but the deliberate work that this app enables makes the proper way of learning the fretboard very worth it in the long run. Rather than memorizing shapes and thus getting locked into playing via muscle memory, learning where all of the notes are and how the intervals between the notes determine the sound is the best route to mastering improvisation. Spend only an hour with this app and you'll get its usefulness immediately.

Money wasted

Millertime6 on

United States

Totally confusing app. Can’t correctly identify a note it’s asking for half the time. After a little bit I’d start playing wrong notes on purpose and it would register them as correct. Tim is a genius on guitar but this app is rushed and I haven’t seen an update for this thing since I bought it. Save your money, wish I would’ve.

Really great! But…

Danny_369 on

United States

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.
