Tommy Emmanuel, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, are these names familiar? If you're a guitar player, you probably not only know them, but dream of playing like these fingerstyle legends. If you know some chords and really want to start working on your fingerstyle techniques, Blues & Rags for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad can help you get there.

This app is no toy. Blues & Rags is a serious app for serious students of guitar. Peter Legrady has taught this fingerstyle method for years, and to hundreds of students. The app is based on his successful fingerstyle techniques booklet.

Blues & Rags features include:

• Scrolling speed adjustment in silent mode to match student's skill level
• Easy-to-read tablature system
• Audio track for each tab
• Hands-free autoscroll system
• Scrolling speed adjustment in silent mode
• 16 original, fun to play Rags and Blues pieces
• 10 picking patterns to help you start fingerpicking
• Special electronic tablature book with useful interactive features
• Easy to read tablature system
• TabView screen supports portrait and landscape views

Blues & Rags is easy to navigate, so you can concentrate on your practice session instead of learning complicated controls. From the main screen, just pick a fingerstyle pattern or a piece to learn. You can also choose from several "Help" pages filled with useful explanations of the lessons. From the "TabView" screen, just listen to the practice piece until you're comfortable enough with it to start working on it. If you get confused, don't worry. Just tap the "?" button and easy to read graphics show you exactly what to do.

Blues & Rags is designed to let you learn at your own pace. If you have a little trouble keeping up with the app, that's not a problem. When you practice in Silent mode, you can adjust the scrolling of the tablature to a more comfortable speed; then just speed things up a little as you learn the piece.

How do you get to the Grand Ole Opry? Practice! It's an old joke, but it's also true. This app gives you all the tools you need to start learning fingerstyle patterns and techniques, but the rest is up to you. Practice well and practice often and it will show in your playing. Whether you want to play like Lightnin' Hopkins or you're more of a Chet Atkins fan, download Blues & Rags now and before you know it, you'll be pickin' up a storm.
