EOC week 4: There's an app for that!

So I have done some peeking around and found many apps for guitar lessons. Many of which give the user a chromatic tuner, scales and chords. Sadly none of them give the user any good idea on how to apply those tools and resources.  Although I did find one app that gave daily exercises for guitarist but lacked other essential tools. Other apps simply gave the user tablature of cover songs from witch other users post or upload, although some tablature uploads are accurate most are not. My idea is to apply all of the good ideas and trash useless. The ultimate goal is creating an app that will make the user a student that has to work for their skill. For example, in the advanced version of this app only one note will be given to tune the whole guitar. The next step would be to warm up the guitarist using a series of scales and chords. The 3rd step will apply what was practiced in warm up. Be simple and complex exercises both of which will challenge its user. The finally a list of songs and/or artist that use a similar scale pattern so that way the truly dedicated players can look up these songs and further extend their studies on their own. Art is an expression of one’s self, but how does an artist get better without examining and imitating what great artist have done before them? A good balance of study and innovation will help lead way to great artist in the future. Some guitarist says:” That said, music lessons can get expensive, and they're not always easy to work into your schedule. For example, I recently acquired a guitar, but I've yet to find the time or spare cash to take lessons. (Read more: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31747_7-20064650-243.html#ixzz1bvx9Cn8G)
With This app being downloaded to your phone there won’t be a need for immediate internet connection. However to get updated material, a wireless connection will be required. Maybe someone will make it, maybe it’s already out there. Until then enjoy the concept!
