WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“This app is amazing! Im now knee deep in scales practice and this makes learning scales and scale patterns so much more fun. Im an intermediate player that has always gotten by with just "winging it" on solos and learning scales....this app has improved my playing and the motivation to practice each day. You wont be disappointed as the price is less than another book of scales and theory.” MusicmanJoe10, March 9, 2016

“This app is the best for learning scales....modes.....in all keys......also has a chord tab for each mode in all of the keys. Ive tried many methods and this is the best.....allows you to jam out and find your own voice...youre own way of expressing yourself on the guitar. Also has great lick dictionary if you can draw yourself away from jamming......seriously good. Period.” Urdliness, May 9, 2016

"Ive never been more satisfied with an instructional app. Its simple, approachable interface makes interacting to learn more simple and fun." Elmo, March 19, 2015

CHANGE THE STYLE AT ANY TIME!

PRACTICE TIPS

Learn the chord progression for each track, and then jump over to practicing scales. Guess what? There are only 5 shapes of a scale to memorize! Once you know them up and down, learn where they start for each key. Soon, youll be able to solo like a pro.

TIPS FOR THE SCALE CHARTS

- Black dots are regular notes.
- Red dots are root notes. These are notes of the key you are in.
- Blue dots are passing notes. Including these notes puts you in a Blues mode.

Pros and cons of Guitar Jam Tracks: Scale Buddy app for iPhone and iPad

Guitar Jam Tracks: Scale Buddy app good for

I absolutely luv this app, its great fun, instant jam band,great skill builder, and different styles to boot! Buy it, its cheap, but quality. Also check out nine buzzes drum beats app another great instant jam buzz!

Hi guys, This App has been great for training bass. Please create new back tracks and if possible versions without bass would be even greater. Thanks!

Very nice guitar app. Pentatonic major and minor easy to work with, and fun to jam. Would be nice to see the scales change as the chords move. Well done, anyway.

Your App is awesome and good. A very fine thing it is to play.

Really useful app, Fun to take your iPhone, iPad to the park and have easy access to scales and jam tracks.

Best app in order to jam along with your guitar. Always great updates!

Some bad moments

Not more than absolute basics and boring play alongs. Theres a lot better out there.

Seems dated for the price yawn boring lame scrolling fret board please rock track is fun slightly

I bought a number of additional tracks to jam with, then performed a standard update,now theyre gone, showing as downloading.

You only get 5 styles with this app, you have to purchase any other ones you may want. I shouldve just used the jam tracks on YouTube. I feel ripped off.

Initially thought this would be a super app. For me I was disappointed. Three stellar additions would be to allow users to 1) change the tempo 2) be able to add the desired chords of the key being played and 3) in the order the user wanted. Otherwise, for me this is a mediocre app that has super potential if the creators wanted to take it up the ladder.

Its perplexing how this app has so many positive reviews. The jam tracks are sloppy and out of tune and the app doesnt come with the ability to monitor a DI electric guitar. Was expecting so much more for my $4.99. Will try to get a refund. Buyer beware.
