WHAT IS A PENTATONIC SCALE?
A pentatonic scale is one consisting of five notes, and that’s it! It is used widely in all genres and styles, and it is one of the most important scales for guitarists.
There are many forms & templates (boxes) for each key. The boxes remain unchanged, except starting positions are different.
Therefore, once you grasp one key, other ones will come much easier!

Great app for practicing guitar. There are a lot of genres covered and so much variety of backing tracks in each genre. The app can be used for live use. Backing tracks can be downloaded. There is a chord and scale library that is very detailed and not just very basic they cover a lot of ground. Each of the backing tracks shows the chords and chord progressions used. Pro version is worth getting and I recommend getting all the packs as well. Pro version lets you loop sections and more.

Okay I wish to change my review. If I had this app 20 years ago when I first started, I would be a guitar God today. I went from being a rhythm guitarist to a lead guitarist overnight. If you learn one or more scales you can play right along with these tracks and get better every time. When I hit a wrong note I can tell and then I go back, correct it and then it comes out perfect. Now I just let it roll from one track to the next and I can play them all. Amazing. Thank you. Best app ever.

Pros: Great app. Many great styles & chord progressions to practice soloing over. Gets you prepared to improvise over anything at real gigs. Cons: Every time I purchase the Pro bundle with every jam track, it gets cancelled, refunded, and the backing tracks vanish a few days later. No reason is ever given. -1 star for this. I don't care if it's Google Play or the developer causing this. It's something that needs to be addressed.

Thanks for the feedback, Burton! We never cancel user payments. We don't even have that kind of technical capability. This situation could be due to problems with the bank or Google's payment system. Since the error is not our fault, please consider changing your review. For more details, please contact us at [email protected].
