Visualize the guitar fretboard, master scales and play through changes like a pro with intervallic functions!


‣ Solo is a revolutionary practice tool designed by world renowned fusion guitarists Tom Quayle and David Beebee.

‣ One of the biggest barriers to improvising on guitar is finding and mapping out the relevant chord tones and scales all over on the fretboard in real time.


Solo is a highly focussed app for developing your note finding and fretboard visualization ability on the guitar. There is no time-based pressure and Solo reduces the cognitive load of having to choose which ‘notes/intervals’ to play. As you get quicker at finding these ‘notes’ you will conversely get better at choosing them whilst improvising. Players of all ability levels will reap huge benefits from practicing with Solo.


‣ Using common progressions, Solo presents you with one chord symbol or scale at a time and asks you to find and play a series of notes based on their intervallic function.

‣ Solo listens to the notes you play, analyzes them in real time, and doesn’t move on until you’ve correctly found each note by its intervallic function in the specified order.

‣ This process builds strong fretboard visualization for the most powerful, efficient and malleable way to KNOW your way around the fretboard no matter how difficult the chord changes are.

‣ Along with standard 6 string guitar Solo also s 7 string guitar, 4 and 5 string bass, B-flat and E-flat horns and even voice. There is also for guitars tuned to Eb (we heard you strat players...)

As a unique and powerful ear training tool, Solo also develops your ability to not only visualize what you’re playing, but hear it in real time too.

If you know your note names but struggle to learn new scales, play through chord changes or find yourself stuck in pattern based playing, practicing diligently with Solo will be transformational for your knowledge of the fretboard and subsequently your ability to outline harmony when you improvise.


‣ CHANGES PLAYING TRAINER
Practice finding intervallic functions over a series of chord changes based on common and popular chord progressions. Solo is programmed with all the knowledge behind the scenes to understand jazz and popular music harmony and will always pick appropriate intervallic functions based on the harmony of the progression.

‣ SCALE TRAINER
Practice finding intervallic functions within scales on the fretboard. Solo includes all the modes of the Major, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor and Harmonic Major scales, plus pentatonic and symmetrical scales. Seeing and finding scale tones as intervallic functions will transform your ability to manipulate and improvise with scales in real time.

‣ TUTORIALS
Solo also includes video tutorials from Tom Quayle and David Beebee to get you started with intervallic functions, how to find them on the fretboard, using Solo for ear training and how to get the most from your practice time with the app.

It's like having a guitar teacher with perfect pitch and ADD. It's great that it can identify if the notes I'm playing are right or wrong. But if it can't tell me if the note I'm playing is right or wrong because it can't hear it very well or it's too busy writing down whether previous notes are right or wrong, it just leaves me guessing. Just learn your A major and C major scales, learn interval distance, and get some new strings with the $15 you'd spend here.

This a good concept and approach. I would happily pay for a desktop version, as I find mobile apps (in general) dinky, clunky (limited by form), unpractical and not as conducive (practice flow) as a desktop applications - which is where I practice. 
I am sure there are people who have no issue with a mobile app version, but I tried practicing with this on my phone & it just doesn’t work for me so I’ve given up using it. 
Hopefully we’ll see a desktop version soon!

Absolutely the best app I have ever seen for developing fretboard fluency, if not the best practice tool in general I have ever used. The whole concept of using intervalic structures rather than sheet music or diagrams is so good for training your ear and hands to play in all 12 keys. The app is incredibly quick and responsive, too. I love it. I think it's worth way more than $15 tbh.

Really Great app. It s makes it s easier to play those excersises with more volume. When You do this by yourself, it s hard for a brain. I usually find myself becoming tired after 5 minutes. With Solo you can sit for 2 hours. It s just more and faster However, I would also want to suggest a feature to write a chord changes by myself. And something that would eneable me not to watch at the screen all the time( to recall changes for myself). Sound confirmation that I m hitting the right notes....

A great app for learning the fretboard, interval shapes, scales, etc. and easily worth the price! One thing I would like to see added is a simple mode that just asks for random notes - so that total noobs like me can finally learn all the note names on the fretboard. I am aware of the workaround Tom described in his video "Mastering The Fretboard - How To Begin Your Journey" but it would still be cool to have a proper mode for this!

Great app. Note detection seems fairly solid for me. Adding a bit of vibrato seems to help. In chord changes exercises, it would be great to optionally hear a synth chord to hear the played notes in context. You could play all notes other than the target tone, so it doesn't detect its own output. Please update the audio interface list with android compatible ones, if any.

It's a really decent app for practicing chord tones. Two issues with everyday use: 1. Note detection: even after it's calibrated, sometimes it's simply refusing to detect a note. It can usually be resolved by playing it an octave lower or higher, but it really breaks the flow. 2. Lack of instructions on how to progress. I can do any exercise slowly (play the notes at 10-20 BPM). It would be nice to have more guidance on how to progress, because I usually just pick random songs.

I want to love this app -- and I want to continue using it to practice changes and patterns, but the calibration process is akin to pulling teeth and doesn't improve note detection on the E/A strings even with fine adjustment. If I ever have to play anything on my E or A strings, I can be pretty sure I'll have to pluck a note more than 10 times to get the app to recognize it. This turns what should be a 10 to 20 minute refresher/fretboard warmup into a 45 minute practice block. I know it's not my mic, as it has no issues picking up ambient noise during calls or memo recordings. It's not quite there yet. Hopefully you can sort out the rest of the technical minutiae -- I'll be using this app constantly once you do!
