Guitar - Chords, Tabs & Games Reviews

by Davis, Christian

So I started learning this app nearly 10 months ago. Maybe even longer ago than that. I needed a this app to play on the go, when I was away from my actual this app. I found this all and I downloaded Guitar a while back, maybe a month or two ago. At first there were a few ads here and there and it didn’t really bug me much. I played Guitar for about a week straight without even touching my this app and I decided to start playing my real this app more. Now, weeks later I had gotten back on it a few minutes ago. I wanted to switch out an Acoustic for an Electric so I could play a song and this VIP membership kept coming up on my screen every time I tried to switch out my this app. I closed Guitar , tried again and the same thing happened several times. Finally, I got extremely frustrated and deleted Guitar . I wrote this review hopefully so that it will discourage people from downloading Guitar and wasting their time and space downloading Guitar full of advertisements and sponsorships. Just as an fyi, I WOULD DEFINITELY GIVE Guitar ZERO STARS IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE!! Thanks for looking over my review 👍

NEW UPDATE- After numerous emails to me insisting I won’t be billed, guess what shows up on my bill. A new monthly payment. This company is full of liars and thieves. Do not even look at Guitar. They want over $60 a year now. All they do is play games with you and act like you don’t want to cancel.

I downloaded Guitar for a free one week trial. I don’t like Guitar so I wanted to cancel it. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to cancel. Although I subscribed under my Apple it is not listed under my subscriptions and there is no where to call for help to cancel. You also need WiFi to cancel although to get Guitar you can just download on your phone through Apple using data. NIGHTMARE!!! No help.

UPDATE: i had taken a shot and emailed Gismart saying I want to cancel. I got a reply email from the company asking if I truly want to cancel. They completely ignored the fact that my email stated I wanted to cancel. They send the impossible directions that I have tried a million times already. They are playing a game. These people are a bunch of clowns only interested in creating an inferior app and ripping people off into paying for it by not allowing a clear mechanism to cancel a subscription that you never sign up for. This is an absolute NIGHTMARE.
DO NOT SIGN UP FOR Guitar!!!!

Worst. App. Ever!!!! it is waaaay to difficult and frustrating. Too many ads. and the membership keeps popping up like every time i open Guitar it pops up. so i deleted Guitar and when i did it FROZE MY SCREEN so i had to shut down my phone and turn it back on! if i could i would totally rate this a -1 star review!! Another time was once i was playing and i finished a level and it was being really laggy so i unplugged the plug and plugged it back in to reset the internet and it glitched out of Guitar and I asked my mom if there was something wrong with the connection but she said her phone was just fine. and thats when i deleted Guitar and i will never redownload it because of what happened. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

I downloaded this for my kid to play on. I started seeing $8 charges from it and I blamed him for clicking on a pay function... reading back through I see other people who have had the same problem. Then I noticed that I was getting a charge on my copy too... which I haven’t used in months. I actually have a newer iPad I use, the one it’s on hasn’t even been charged in months. Obviously use and clicking a button for the ad free trial are not necessary for them to charge you for Guitar . Whatever you do, don’t get Guitar. They will try to bleed your bank account dry. I also noticed reading back through that they tend not to reply to people who have this issue, despite replying to people with other issues with Guitar .

I played acoustic this app for about 30 years and thanks (not really) to arthritis my hand won’t conform to any playing position nor is there enough finger strength to press a string down. It was exciting to think that a virtual, digital this app might somehow bring back the pleasure of playing. Guitar ain’t it.

Putting aside my desire to “play” this app on a screen, let’s talk about Guitar . If the free version is supposed to serve as a trial it fails from the start. The insistence to subscribe is immediate with no way obvious way to back out of the sign up screen. Strumming activates the phone’s control panel. Playing notes activates the phone’s zoom lens. Every few seconds another ad/link/prompt interferes with the attempt to TRY Guitar . Totally aggravating, I can’t imagine how anyone could be enticed to subscribe without an adequate trial experience. For me they did excel at turning off a prospective user/subscriber and greatly inspired this negative review. It’s like they were begging for it.

I read a very good external review of Guitar and decided to give it a try and download it. Only to realize that in order to try it out you have to subscribe to a three day free trial, which starts to bill you automatically after the third day. I immediately deleted Guitar . I do not like these business models where you have to pay a rental fee for an app, which in essence you never own, additionally i like even less the fact that you have to commit to a subscription just to try it out ( you are never sure if it is going to be easy to cancel it or they will make you go through endless links and pages to do it ), and finally , I think three days is close to nothing in terms of the time you need to evaluate a product. So I will never know how good or bad this application is.

Guitar has been ruined. When I first downloaded Guitar, I thought it was great. No complaints. They added a challenge to complete a certain number of songs to get the distorted electric this app. I was able to play the songs and got it. It was great. Then they updated it again and then I was no longer able to use it, and had to pay to use it. I thought, well okay. Even though I had access to it before the update.
Now there are constant ads when there were hardly any before. Now solo mode does not work as well as it used to. Now there’s a delay when you hit a string and actually get a sound, so songs you play do not sound great. Unless these problems are fixed, I will have to delete.

I am an ambassador for the arts, founded an organization for creators to connect and collaborate during gigs i book and was immediately turned off from this application. I am left handed ( no setting or menu to explain how that changes how to play this app: nor Any on any subject similar). I would have appreciated there being an explanation of what we were to do and instructions as to how before having a virtual this app with some highlighted circles late added to screen~ especially for an app i’d need to pay more than the lessons my daughter and I have, in person, at this app store.
Why not give any instructions? info on what to do as well as what chords are being played. if we are to strum or not and if so in what way.
Guitar had good intentions.
i rarely leave reviews much less negative ones but after all thought in marketing this and making an image of a credible enough looking this app, the entire point of such was disappointing and difficult from the first ‘song’ with no title nor explanation per what is being practiced . i am involved in the Arts, it is my passion and my career . Unfortunately, Guitar lacks everything I’d expect in one, a free version has much better approach...Canceling subscription. please, take a short time and explain what is being shown, why, and how.
I’ve never so quickly dropped hope or attempt to work with a simulated music based application until now.
Please Fix
thanks.

Guitar is okay because it teaches you some songs, but I wanted to learn how to play Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin on the this app, but since I was a beginner he said that it would be too hard for me, then he showed me that he couldn't even do it and he is VERY good at this app, so he told me to look it up and I came to this and since it said that it will teach you any song, I downloaded it and got the free trial for premium and it didn't have Stairway to Heaven! I know that it is a very hard song to learn because my this app teacher used to be in a band and play bass, this app, sing, etc. and he can't even play it on his this app. Some of his songs are on Sound Cloud under Dave Worley; I strongly suggest listening to it as I think it is very good.

This is horrible app you honestly expect all of these people to spend 8 dollars a week. I understand you guys don't have Guitar for people to enjoy it you do it for money. You guys could probably get more downloads when you don't charge people such a ridiculous amount of money for some app. You developers need to wake up and understand. I get that you guys really want the money but just please make it free so we can all download it and enjoy it. (Let's pretend I'm not writing anything in parentheses) (Then you guys can maybe make a little bit a money with in app purchases or stuff like that 😏) I just really hope you guys understand this comment and take it into the games consideration. And on that note I hope you have a great rest of your day 😊.

Now I am not here to bash or say Guitar is bad and not to download it. If anything I would say to give it a try. I really enjoy Guitar more then I would of ever thought l would but I got to minor issues with it. 1st issue is why does the play location where you hit the notes during a song feel like it’s at the top of the neck? why won’t flip the right way cause I like to play it like I’m holding a this app.? Also I notice if I don’t hit the note wperfectly when it gets to the line where I’m suppose to hit it at play nothing, If it’s not close to perfect? It should play still just the timing would be a little of it’s better to hear my mistake then not to hear it how do I learn like that.

Guitar is pretty decent especially since there isn’t add pop ups that come up after you press something or play for a certain time. But there is a few problems with Guitar , which can be worked around when using, but nonetheless are pretty annoying. The first thing is that the strings go to the edge of your screen on a iphone which causes you to pull down the hud of your phone or exit Guitar every time you strum. Also, when free playing it’s hard to make chord traditions since the chord list is at the top of your device. Otherwise Guitar is very useful when learning the chords and allow me to test out strums and fingerpicking sounds for my this app in real life.

I don’t understand what is with all the negative reviews on Guitar ?? I had a blast just now !! First time I’ve ever played this app ... I actually sounded good ... sure it is just a trial and to unlock the cool songs it costs .. but I might just have to try it out ... there are a lot of reviews talking about not being able to cancel a subscription but in defense ... the girl Alice seems to respond with speed and kindness and a genuine feel that they would like to address any negative feedback at all ... and gives a direct link to do so in the cases that ask to be cancelled ... so ? We shall see if I continue to enjoy Guitar ... thank you for the time to review so far ... I’ll check back later and let you guys know more :)) peace✌🏽

Although this game is great and really fun, some ideas I have to make the game better is maybe since some parents don’t let there kids have Instagram just have all the songs unlocked, and for some of use who downloaded the game to help us learn how to play the gutair, have a place where you can click and a video will show you how to play the song on Guitar and on a real gutair! Other than that this game is great and really fun, I hope that these changes will be made and I hope it can happen soon!!! 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

Guitar is so cool that it is wicked cool. The sound is amazing and the tones are real. My electric tuner agreed that it was very close to perfect. Thanks to the development team on this great app. I think that even an amateur who has never even touched a this app string before can make some great music in no time with Guitar. Also for an even better sound try it through a nice Bluetooth speaker. I love Guitar and wish had it come around yrs ago. So enjoy everyone and make beautiful music for the ones around you or just by yourself no matter what kind of style you like this is for you!!

by Eberyuerbveycnjerbfhj

I think this thing was so amazing to play at first I didn’t really know but then I started getting used to it but there’s something I think on the game will probably need making your own songs in the game because I didn’t really buy the trial so I don’t know if you’re able to but if you can make your own songs and put them and everybody else was to to try to play the song that would be so cool if you can add that without the free trial please I don’t buy trials

I can't believe Guitar is free, I'm astounded. There's so much you can do - now I can have a this app with me anywhere. The only thing that really confuses me is why there's only 11 frets; the octaves for the open notes are so useful and should definitely be included. Regardless, there's so much here. The solo mode has a sweet couple different guitars that you only have to watch a single add each to unlock. The hammer-ons/pull-offs, and slides work better than I would've expected. There's an endless chord library available and even an option to create your own chords! I have too many good things to say, Guitar is a bunch of fun and I'm excited to try some of the other ones y'all have made.

I downloaded Guitar weeks ago to try some this app lessons since I’m unable to own one in person. Little did I realize they been charging $8-$9 for almost a month! I never even subscribed to Guitar but there have been times they attempted to charge my account and I tried cancelling through email when I no longer had Guitar! Don’t ever download Guitar if you value your wallet!!!! Hopefully I can get my money back!!!!!

Dear creators,
I have accidentally purchased Guitar a few days or weeks. I don’t remember I did not mean to as I thought Guitar was free and I had no intention of purchasing Guitar please refund as I did not mean to. Apologies to the creator of Guitar I sincerely apologize. Please know I am 14 years old using my moms credit card to download free apps and I thought it would be fun to download this. So I please ask you to take away my purchase. Please and thank you.

Sincerely,
Tolovejen William.

by This App Is A Scam Stay Away

Guitar is an absolute SCAM. Yes I downloaded Guitar to only delete it within a few hours. Now a few weeks later I start getting charges from them every couple days. I have sent them a request to remove my account with no response. If I don’t here anything in a couple days I will report them to the credit card company and fraudulent and block there charges. The only reason I placed 5 stars on Guitar was so that it will show up at the top of there reviews. SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!!!!!’n
