hi guys, im looking for the best guitar training/instructing software..i've been a guitarist for a very long time..however, oido lang ako and though i know basic theories like scaling (pentatonic and the likes), i've never had formal training of any kind..that's why i would like to enhance my technical skills by learning proper guitar theories..im looking at guitar pro, but im not sure if it covers training, practicing and scaling techniques..any suggestions?

OT: I think the proper term is oido, or sipra, or learning music/playing by ear.

yup, any apps besides garageband and its videos?

guitartricks.com or iperform3d.com offers online lessons for various skill levels and genres as well as the basic theories

ai ganon ba spelling nun?haha, didn't know that until now, thanks!fellow thomasian pa man din ako, though AB naman ako at hindi galing sa conservatory,haha..thanks man..yeah, garageband is nice for basic music editing, but it certainly is far from an instructional guitar software..

^ 'oido' literally means 'ear' in Spanish

back in high school, i wanted to learn scales and modes. me and my brother borrowed a really really old vhs copy of Frank Gambale Modal Magic instructional video. grabe sa theories, and his technique. im sure you can find the videos on youtube. be prepared to spend days if not months studying ha, ang lalim ng lessons.

thanks robvillegas, will try to search for that vid..yah im prepared,hehe..its ok that i can play any song i want thru oido but sometimes when fellow musicians talk about more technical terms like scales and stuff nakaka-op, kahit na i can play the same songs using broken chords and the like,hehe..

Hi all,

I'm currently looking for a guitar simulator app, yun lang para pwedeng tumugtog kahit iphone lang ang dala mo. I saw the video of Urbandub performing using only iPod Touch and got inspired. Pwede pala yun! It's been awhile since I last played the real guitar kasi hehe.

Any recommendations?

Update: saw this site http://www.gig.ph/2010/urbandub-on-the-ipod-touch/ and according to this they used the ff apps:
- Guitarist
- Bassist
- FingerBeat

I'm temped to get the Guitarist app! Looks cool! Costs $3.99 though. Anyone know a cheaper (aka free) alternative?
