Simply Guitar

A gentler listening app than Yousician, built around strumming along to songs you already know rather than chasing high scores. Simply Guitar hears you through the microphone and gives real-time feedback, works on acoustic or electric, and lets you go at your own pace. It suits the adult whose main goal is to play chords around a campfire or under a singer, since its lessons teach the chords and riffs behind popular songs. It runs out of road sooner than the bigger courses, and like every listening app it cannot see your hands, so check your posture and fretting against a video lesson now and then. Practice in a quiet room, and play an electric through an amp near your phone so the app can hear it.
