Simply Guitar - Learn Guitar

Short review: I recommend this app for complete newbies that never took a guitar before like me. As you progress it becomes too slow and repetitive, and also less songs are unlocked as things go.
Long review:
This app was really good for me in the beginning, addicting, relatively fast to learn and do some nice things, but as you progress it becomes slow and repetitive.
- Sometimes I’m learning a new note, and then that whole lesson I have to do with ONLY that note, even to play a song with one single note. What’s the point of that? It’s boring as hell guys, make something more addicting in that sense, incorporating things people learned earlier…
- Now I’m on soloist IV, and I already play pretty much any song until that point, but the lessons are slow and make me first learn parts of the songs independently, then combine it, then play it in a dummy “setup” without being the real song, then I play the real song (again, that I have played before separately).
Another example, in soloist IV there’s a lesson that I need to switch from the first section to second section of the guitar… no joking, the app forces you to do that for every string, 2 times training, 2 more times playing it, and then the reverse afterwards. I’m obviously not against having that, but the repetition is simply insane…
Come on guys this is boring and slow as hell, if your intention is for me to keep the subscription going for longer it just causes the exact opposite effect on me. I’m considering unsubscribing because of that.
Make it more to the point and I’m pretty sure you’ll have people subscribed for more time. If you at least allowed some of these repetitive parts being skipped that’d make people happier, I would.

But in one of the latest updates the favourites stopped working (I cannot add and remove songs)

When you play a chord during a song, they say its the right chord no matter what you play, as long as you make noise

Payment is totally reasonable and needed ,my daughter just got her guitar and finished her first course ! She loves this app , it’s got humour but also teaches you the basics and right things you need to know , five stars !

I was so excited to learn guitar with this app, but when I finished my first few lessons I had to pay for a premium subscription to do the next lessons and to unlock the song library. They say it’s totally free but it’s not, so take the app down, Apple!

To learn this app is a must have as a beginner I think with this app I wil go a long way and it wil save me money for a teacher

I have to learn how to play bc i am going to auditon in a band put i played a fret wrong and the app said it was correct so its really fake i did it again and it did the same thing so it better be true next time that it is the best guitaar app the the app store otherwise i am going to never play this dumb app ever

Toen ik bij een liedje was aangekomen moest ik een abonnement nemen teleurstelling

The lessons are amazing, they’re well thought out and fun. But nothing is as infuriating and demotivating as strumming the same thing 10 times before the app picks up on it, having to re-do lessons because notes are not recognized keeps me from finishing courses and has been keeping me from playing.

Ik zocht een gitaar app om gitaar te leren spelen. Gewoon een gratis app dacht ik. Maar nee hoor bijna €16 kwijt per maand

I though:”Hey this could be something nice to practice guitar with” until I realised this: EVERYTHING costs money EVEN THE TUTORIAL COSTS MONEY?!?! I mean yeah you want money but not to play song or even FINISH THE TUTORIAL?! So simply guitar… I hope you learned your lesson and until you change it, I’m not coming back

Ja sorry hoor maar elke keer als ik een filmpje wil bekijken staat het stil dus Dankje voor de hulpfolle gitaar les maar ik heb niks geleerd doei

Already a player with skills and tried the app, good job to the ones who made it and even I learn more how to use the guitar! Very very very good job guys! If you want to learn how to play this wonderful instrument. Download the app! Greets from holland!

Everyone is complaining about the payment, but I think it's a very inexpensive way to learn to play the guitar. No guitar teacher would be this cheap. You get instant feedback if you play wrong, which makes it easy to learn things differently. It's presented very nicely and extremely addictive!

Topper! Eindelijk een mogelijkheid om een gemotiveerde en meteen een terugkoppeling of je het akkoord juist speelt!
Heeel jammmer!

I hate that when you finally want to play a song (and it’s not even the song of your own choice) you have to pay. You literally have to pay and get premium for almost every single thing here, even though getting the app is free. That’s bullcrap to me.

Great app, but The rate there are new courses are 2 slow. Just got in 2 my second year membership. And only got 2 new courses fingerpicking en barre chords. Hope They intesify their update of songs and courses. The way it makers you learn The courses is great.

Simply guitar is a great app to be honest. I live how it also helps you tune the guitar, and listens to you play. It is a really great app. But there is just one thing disappointing, you’ve got to pay for everything when you’re done doing the tutorial.
It would be fun if atleast a view things free like songs but not every song, and also like learning new chords.
