Solo is the ultimate practice App for mastering fretboard visualization, designed by world renowned guitarists Tom Quayle and David Beebee. Four powerful fretboard trainers allow you to work intuitively on each aspect of the visualization process; learning note names, memorising interval shapes, outlining chord changes, and practicing scales. Solo asks you to find intervallic functions against one root note, chord symbol or scale at a time, listens to the notes you play, and doesn’t move on until you’ve correctly found each note by its intervallic function in the specified order. Practice with Solo and finally learn your note names, master interval shapes, confidently play through chord changes and break out of scale boxes with intervallic functions. Start transforming your playing and confidence on the fretboard today! NOTE TRAINER The Note Trainer is perfect for beginner and intermediate players getting to grips with note names on the neck - the foundation of solid fretboard knowledge. ‣ Solo shows you random root notes to find and listens, waiting for you to get it correct. ‣ Slide on the interactive fretboards for helpful diagrams and to study alternative options. Choose from 6 string guitar (standard and 4ths tuning), 7 string guitar, 4 string bass & 5 string bass. ‣ Optional practice suggestions offer challenging ways to limit and test yourself. ‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session. INTERVAL TRAINER The Interval Trainer will help players at all levels work on interval shapes with intervallic functions - the key to unlocking true freedom on the fretboard. ‣ Choose any combination of intervallic functions to practice. ‣ Create custom interval groups or choose the intervals for ANY chord type or scale. ‣ The Interval Trainer will randomise your chosen intervals and ask you to find them against either a fixed or random root note. ‣ Slide on the interactive fretboards for helpful diagrams, showing you where all of the interval shapes are across the neck, and to study alternative options. Choose from 6 string guitar (standard and 4ths tuning), 7 string guitar, 4 string bass & 5 string bass. ‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session. CHANGES TRAINER In the Changes Trainer you find intervallic functions, using single notes to outline different chord types or sets of chord changes, a key skill for learning to improvise through chord changes. ‣ Practice outlining intervallic functions through over 100 common chord progressions and single chord exercises. ‣ 50 intervallic function levels. Go from simple chord tones to complex melodic structures and scales. ‣ Solo intelligently maps out the correct intervals over each chord and listens for you to play each intervallic function in the specified order. ‣ Powerful workout options provide almost limitless ways to challenge yourself. ‣ Transpose the key of any progression or exercise. ‣ Choose to randomly transpose the progression (or single chord exercise) each time it repeats. ‣ Work on voice leading chord tones through single note lines. SCALE TRAINER The Scale Trainer contains a vast array of scales and powerful workout options, allowing you to finally break out of the box and develop a much deeper understanding of how scales are constructed on the fretboard. ‣ Practice finding scales on the fretboard using intervallic functions. ‣ Over 50+ Scales and modes. ‣ Powerful workout options provide almost limitless ways to challenge yourself. ‣ Melodic sequence options let you focus on starting from any chord tone within the scale. ‣ Duration based workouts allow you to craft the perfect practice session.
Top notch!
This is more than worth the money! I wish this thing was around years ago! Put in the work… And it works!
This is the approach I ended up with after 45 years of playing.
Wow, where I would have gone if I started from here. I followed everything I just never had a place to start. I feel inspired to hit the woodshed again. For physical limitations I had to go from acoustic guitar to electric, then to ukulele and now baritone ukulele. The loss of the 6th and 5th string really forced me to learn the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd strings that I only kind of knew. I can see where Solo where really assist me. ANY CHANCE FOR A BARITONE UKULELE PROFILE (d g b e)? :)
Solo
Game changer at any level
No better than a tuner
I paid $15 to have something identify a note and tell me if I’m playing it. All of the other functions are grayed out and don’t work. No part of the app or it’s help explains how I unlock them. What a waste of money.
Great app
Love this app. Its a great practice tool for me. One thought for an improvement is to have a mode that plays a pitch that you have to match with your instrument, without telling you what note or notes are being played. That would really help me develop my fretboard knowledge as well as my relative pitch.
Disappointed
I recently started using this app. Viewed training videos. This app isn’t for beginners and maybe not for intermediate level players. I’m a visual learner; however, I’ve been told by my guitar instructor that I have a talent for knowing notes/chords by ear. I was expecting an interactive fretboard when doing scales. I also would like the option of seeing each note played in a scale instead of only seeing numbers (1, 3, 4, 6, 7).
Love it! Just needs one more feature.
Great job on the app guys. I just need to be able to practice intervals on a virtual guitar neck while walking, riding the bus, etc. It would be amazing if I could touch the screen and hear the note and have it identified as correct or incorrect for the interval that I’m practicing.

Note Trainer - More options for auto-advancement on fretboard Interval Function Trainer - Added presets to the intervallic function selection screen. Allowing you to select a chord or scale to determine the selection of intervallic functions - More options for auto-advancement on fretboard Chord Changes Trainer - When you select Ex. (exercise) changes, it will now enable repeat automatically. You can still disable it afterwards but most of these are just small sequences and will most often be repeated with key changes. Solo app wide changes - New instrument choice of 7-String guitar (4ths tuning) - Left handed toggle that flips the strings on the fretboards to go the opposite direction
