Ratings and reviews

Great inexpensive app with good real sound ! My main criticism is that it has 70% of the licks at shape 1(or position 1 if you prefer), 25 % at shape 3, and occasionally 5% to the other positions. For example, position 4 (root at 5th string A shape bar chord) is neglected this is too bad, especially for the keys of E, F, and even G, for guitars without a cutaway (or acoustic guys who can do bends). That's why i rate four stars. Too bad almost perfect !

Great fun! I've been working in these licks into my practice time. It's really fun to find these licks inside minor pentatonic boxes. My soloing is starting to fill up with bends and trills and this is really helping. Great app. Super affordable and actually motivated me to write a review.

Has got a few good one to start you off with. (Old Post - The biggest problem is you can't set a key. You have to change the key for every single lick.) Sorry it took me so long to update post. Thanks for the key change mod.
