Learning how to play guitar doesn’t have to be difficult, at least not with Star Scales HD. The app throws out the idea of using complicated charts and instead has you practicing scale patterns. Each scale features fingering and note names in all positions on the fretboard, making it remarkably easy to master a specific pattern. Since each scale and all its patterns are taught one at a time, you won’t become overwhelmed. The app includes all blues, rock, and jazz guitar scales, zoom, a random scale pattern generator, and the ability to share scales via email or social networks.
Star Scales HD For Guitar is available for free for a limited time. It has a 4-star rating with a total of 38 ratings.
