About this app

Develop rock‑solid timing. Play with confidence. Hold the rhythm even when the guide guitar fades out.
Rhythm Guitar Trainer plays a guitar guide track and a drum pattern — so you can hear and feel a rhythm before you hold it yourself. Pick a style, choose a pattern, set your tempo and key. Then practice.

FADE & HOLD — THE CORE METHOD
This is what makes Rhythm Guitar Trainer different.
The app plays the guitar guide track together with the beat. After a few bars, the guide fades out — and you keep playing on your own, staying in time with the drum track. Then it fades back in so you can correct yourself by adjusting your playing to match guide guitar.
You always see the strumming notation while you play, so your ear and the written rhythm start to connect naturally. It's like having a practice
partner who steps back after some bars — and lets you take the lead.
This practice method was developed by music education professionals.

THREE STYLES, 40+ PATTERNS
• Funk — 16th-note patterns with and open muted strums
• Rock — power chords, palm muting, gallop rhythms, triplets
• Jazz — ternary feel, comping, Charleston patterns

Each pattern comes with a chord diagram and rhythmic notation, so you always know exactly what's being played.

FULL CONTROL OVER YOUR PRACTICE
• Choose any key
• Adjust tempo — slow down to learn, speed it up to challenge yourself
• Practise with a backing drum track or a metronome, using different accents.
• Set the guitar/beat balance to focus on what you need
• Set your practice session length

BUILT FOR GUITARISTS WHO WANT TO LEVEL UP
Whether you're a beginner working on your first rock patterns or an intermediate player cleaning up your Jazz comping or funk 16th patterns — this app is built around one idea: the groove has to live in your ear, not just in your fingers.

Also works great as a teaching aid in guitar lessons.

A limited web-app-version is also available at https://rhythm-guitar-trainer.com
