Welcome to Guitar Lesson Tips!

The Gibson App Has Arrived and it’s already getting great reviews…the best part is it’s free

OK, we’ve all been pulled in by “Free” offers but most times the hype doesn’t stand up.  This is one case where the free product is actually better than advertised.

What are the drawbacks?  If  you consider owning an iPhone or iPod a drawback, than than that’s the only one because this application was developed for iTunes.  What’s interesting it that two my my friends who don’t own and iTouch (yes, there’s a few out there…) are considering getting one just to use the app.  It’s pretty cool.

Here’s Gibson’s press release on this:

“Gibson is proud to announce the highly anticipated launch of the Gibson App. This free to download App is available exclusively for all Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users directly from the Apple App Store. This is one App every guitarist and fan of Gibson Guitar must own. Over the past two years over 3 Billion Apps have been downloaded around the world, the Gibson Guitar App cements Gibson’s reputation as the industry’s leader in innovation and music technology.

The Gibson Guitar App includes a number of special features, such as a traditional chromatic tuner which starts in “All Notes” mode that tracks whatever is played. Owners of the App can choose a tuning on the “Mode” page so the tuner will only track notes for that particular tuning. Also included is a traditional chromatic tuner, a simple tuner which allows less advanced users to tune to Standard tuning Open G, Open D etc by touching the key. For iPhone users, the Gibson headstock inlay will automatically change colour indicating if the string is sharp, flat or in tune. For iTouch users they can turn the “Play Notes” option on so they can hear the appropriate since they do not have a microphone facility.

The Gibson app also features a standard metronome that allows users to choose a specific BPM or tap the screen three times to automatically set the tempo. Other key features of the app include over 30 chord charts with finger markings to help the user with mastering the chord.
