Music is an art and a science. Music notes, reading sheet music and music theory are some of the vital aspects that a musician should know by heart. Knowing the different scales there are in music is a very important subject too.

A music scale is any set of music notes ordered by fundamental frequency or pitch. There are music scales for jazz music or for rock music. A music scale defines the type of music you are listening.

This app is great for anyone looking for guitar scales. Actually all the scales contained in this app are useful for all music instruments and for anyone interested in singing.

You don´t need much music notation knowledge to use this app. Knowing music notes and what semitones and tones are is enough.

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alienai.chordlab

- Have a common or a strange instrument and want to know how to make chords on it?

- Want to experiment with tuning your strings differently?

Much more than a chord finder, a universal chord computer that knows the preferences of humans! ChordLab shows you easy and great-sounding fingerings (tabs) for any chord, for any fretted string instrument (chordophone), real or imaginary, and for any tuning you wish.

No matter if it's a Guitar or a Chinese Liuqin... No matter if it's a Mariachi Vihuela, an Italian Chitarra Battente, or even an instrument invented by you! No matter if it's with a standard tuning or any tuning you decide to experiment with. ChordLab is the expert for every situation.

ChordLab Features:
• Choose from many predefined or custom instruments.
• With a few taps, you can change the tuning of any instrument.
• If it's not there yet, create your own instrument in just a few seconds!

Music Scale Sudoku -Learn Scales Doing Sudoko?

7/16/2018

Interesting concept...
The same developer is also behind a 8-bit game for learning music theory with listening excercises. So big props for thinking outside the box and am curious what will pop out later from his mind...

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.musicscalesudoku.app

Music Scale Sudoku is the first app ever to combine Sudoku and Music Scale Theory. Mastering scales is a fundamental skill in the study of music. A solid understanding of scales makes the study of melody, chords, and harmony easier. It also helps improve your ability to remember and compose music.

Combining Sudoku and music scales is the perfect way to practice your ability to spell scales. The solution method doubles as an exercise in spelling scales.

Music Scale Sudoku features the 11 most common major scales: C, F, G, Bb, D, Eb, A, Ab, E, Db, and B.

There are 6 puzzles for each scale plus a random mode that creates over 600 variations of the existing puzzles.

Each puzzle has been verified to contain no advanced Sudoku techniques. The goal of this app is to teach you scales over advanced Sudoku techniques.

The game also features a tutorial on how to spell major scales.

Buttons double as a keyboard so that you can play along to the background music!

Developers Note: My goal with this game is to introduce fundamental music concepts that tend to get ignored because they aren’t as “fun” as playing your instrument. I also want to make music theory more approachable and show that it’s a tool to enhance music, not to label things as right or wrong. No app can be fully comprehensive on the subject and I encourage the user to seek as many sources of musical information as possible.

Intuitive Guitar - Major Scale Modes / New Guitar exersice app for free until Friday...

5/10/2018

The developer have made apps before focused on learning and theory for guitar.
This one being the latest and for free until Friday.
He also made a lot of videos that should be of interest for any guitar player out there.

I did destroy my fingers over-practicing guitar two weeks ago, so have not used this app yet...
Yapps wanted to practice an hour a day but got so excited lately with the guitar that it became around three hours of steel string guitar and now paying the price. It have made me kind of depressed as my guitar playing started to sound real good...
Sad...
But as the fingers recuperate hopefully in a week or so more, want to see if this can help me theory wise.

Google Play:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amparosoft.intuitiveguitar.modes

Why is it that many video courses, guitar lessons, guitarists, apps and tutorials explain the concept of modes for guitar over and over again? Because they are very useful of course, but somewhat fail as one usually ends up with fretboard diagrams filled with dots and patterns and it all seems like a big intellectual challenge to memorize all positions at once, all keys, all strings… so many different combinations, and how to make them sound musical and flow through them without sounding like a robot is going up and down a scale?

We believe the solution is learning through intuition and repetition with carefully designed objective oriented practice routines. Time is important, so optimizing your practice time is essential to make progress and stop wasting time.

This approach to learning the modes of the major scale for guitar is simple and effective, just play along a practice routine for 10 minutes a day and the whole fretboard will start to open up for you. The routines cover all seven modes of the major scale parallel to each other in the key of C. We are approaching guitar fretboard visualization in 3-string shapes that cover only one octave, which makes them easy to manipulate, instead of large 6-string shapes, CAGED, 3 notes per string or other conventional shapes. This process will allow you to always keep in mind the intervallic relationship of the note you're playing against the root. Basic modal theory is included and we focus on the 7 modes of the major scale: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian and Locrian.

Features:
- New effortless approach to learning music theory and skills
- Fly through the 7 Modes of the Major Scale
- 21 well designed guitar practice routines for daily practice
- 14 Backing tracks/modal loops with advanced audio pitch-shifting, tempo variations, and an equalizer
- Fully featured tab section with zoom, fast scrolling, loops, tempo and tonality change
- Modal Music Theory
- Built-in Metronome
