About this app

Music Guru turns music theory into something you can hear, play, and use. Search a deep library of scales and chords, inspect how they are built, and listen through multiple sounds and instrument views.

Move beyond lookup. Build progressions, compare musical relationships, save useful discoveries, and export supported ideas for songwriting, production, teaching, or practice. Music Guru keeps theory close to the music it is meant to create.

Highlights

• Search scales and chords by name, notes, intervals, and categories.
• Hear theory through multiple instruments and sounds.
• Visualize notes on keyboard and supported fretboard layouts.
• Build and audition chord progressions.
• Save favorites and export supported ideas as MIDI or audio.

Best for songwriters, producers, improvisers, teachers, and curious musicians.

Ratings and reviews

This is amazing. I've been struggling to teach myself music theory for a while, and like I'd heard of chord progressions but really couldn't "visualize" (audioize?) what any particular progression was supposed to sound like. With this app it's all clear, and I'm like, okay, there's 4 chords, and it sounds like a hit song. I haven't even touched the "scales" part of the app yet, just the chord progression part. Very excited to keep playing around.

Extraordinary simple. Every imaginable scale, progression and chores are on this app, it's kinda amazing. The design is simple, neat and easy to navigate, and the studio option lets me hear out all of these progressions easily before I start composing my music. The updates keep pouring new kinds of helping tools for an upcoming musician, and frankly, it's really great there's someone out there that cares so much about music. Thank you so much!!

Absolutely perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for for a while. Tons of different scales, chords and progressions. Composing music with this app, open by my side, made it much easier. It's an every musician must-have app. 🤘
