What Simply Guitar is
Simply Guitar teaches guitar through interactive lessons and gives learners real-time feedback while they play. The app says no prior experience is needed and is intended for all ages. Lessons cover fundamentals, tabs, chords, chord changes, strumming techniques, and technique exercises; progress tracking and a guitar tuner support practice. The first part of Guitar Basics I is free. A subscription is required for advanced lessons and the Chord and Song Libraries. In the Song Library, learners can browse by level, work through songs step by step, or play full versions. A seven-day free trial is available with the yearly plan, not the monthly option, and is limited to one per account or Apple ID. Simply Guitar runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 15 or later, and Android phones and tablets with Android 6 or later.
