About this app

40 great tools for learning, composing and playing for students or professional musicians. Everything works equally well for guitar, ukulele, bass or many other stringed instruments. Expect THE reference for chords, scales and picking patterns for any tuning. Or THE songbook with access to the world's largest catalogs of lyrics, chords and TABs.

Only the best should be good enough. Expect a best-integrated set of tools. Basics like tuner, metronome or circle of fifths. But just better. The tuner has e.g. an extra string change mode or the metronome a speed trainer.

The ultimate chord library knows every chord and fingering for every instrument and tuning. Without exception! Conversely, there is a chord name for any fingering.

A songbook that is second to none. It finds every song imaginable with chords for any tuning and instrument. Without registration and account. It converts songs for guitar independently for ukulele, bass or banjo. Or vice versa from ukulele to guitar, etc. Of course with the corresponding chords and favorite fingerings. Incredibly functional: Intelligent line break, auto scroll, zoom, audio and video player, drum machine, YouTube integration, pedal support, online editor and viewer, and much more.

Scales galore. Play the scales with all kinds of patterns. Like the pros. And also sometimes different from what you are used to. Provides the diatonic chords for every scale and vice versa.

Expect extraordinary tools like a fingerpicking trainer, a transposer or a tone generator. Or a drum machine for songbook accompaniment or as a rhythm trainer. Or the innovative scale circle. It applies the principle of the circle of fifths to hundreds of scales and modes.

Ratings and reviews

A very useful, comprehensive, richly-featured app—but man the UI is EXTREMELY counterintuitive. Gouges with in-app purchases. The hyped Songbook feature sucks; I was very unsatisfied with the purchase but my refund request was denied. You're better off manually googling tabs. Edit: There has been improvements to the UI and they were quick to fix a bug I found. I use this app a lot.

I've been using SmartChord for years now and I can tell you it is the #1 most useful guitar app on the Play Store. Regardless of your skill level, SmartChord is an expansive virtual tool set that I would very highly recommend to anyone who wishes to begin learning about music theory. It has an unfathomable library of chords & scales. Don't know the name of that chord you just played? Easy. This app has a system for finding chords (AND scales!) based on the notes you pick off a virtual fretboard.

Awesome tool. great for learning chords that you dont know the name of. also fantastic for ear training. theres all sorts of features for playing around with stuff and practicing all sorts of things. it's good enough I ended up buying the full version wial it was on sale just to support these guys. ($24ish at the time.) I'm telling all my friends that play.
