Guitar Training Software - Fret Surfer For The iPhone

Guitar Trainer Software On The Road!

This is the best guitar training fretboard software in my opinion. Fret Surfer came onto the iPhone about 6 months ago and I’ve been using it every week to refresh my knowledge of the guitar fretboard.

If you want to learn guitar fast, you’ll need to learn all the note positions on the fretboard. This is a crucial step that many beginner guitarists find daunting and try to avoid. In fact, about 70% of guitar players don’t know the fretboard back to front. You’ll find that once you master all the notes in every possible position, learning songs and chords get a lot faster and easier, and you gain freedom in playing solos all over the guitar neck.

Learning all the notes might seem like a daunting task at first, but after a month or two of doing certain exercises, you’ll find that it’s a breeze. This is where Fret Surfer comes in handy..

Fret Surfer is an inexpensive iPhone software that you can purchase for only a couple of dollars. What it does is it lets you play the game of ” guess what note this is? “. There are two modes which you can test your skill levels in. The first one names a note and a string, and you have to find it. The other mode points out a note on the fretboard and you have to name the note. It keeps things fun by allowing you to choose different levels of difficulty, where the hardest level only gives you 3 seconds or so to provide a correct answer.

I’ve recommended this app to a friend of mine who was just starting to learn to play guitar, and he pretty much mastered the entire fretboard worth of notes in a matter of 3 weeks! I recommend anyone who’s got an iphone and is serious in learning guitar, go out and get this guitar trainer software – you’ll really go a long way with this one.
