Reviews for Gibson: Learn to Play Guitar

I was trying to tune my guitar and start to tune my A string and it says its too low I time it up and it snaps. I had reset the app many times prior.

The app is a great beginners tool and learning expirience, especially if you don’t have the time to learn “face to face” with live teacher. There is a small learning curve which makes your progress more accessible. Songs and lessions are added almost every day. Special thanks to Matthew from Gibson customer support for his […]

I was reluctant to try this App because I figured it was another disappointment. But to My Surprise, Its actually really good. Each lesson is broken down and explained in simple terms. It also allows for a redo to hone the skills for that particular exercise. I have experienced a few glitches and Customer Service […]

I enjoy practising using this app on my Poco Pad. Learning loads with the amount of practice and songs available. really love it. and would really love to give it 5 stars if not for the heavy ios bias this company is exhibiting, e.g. the headphones icon used in the app (what is that ugly […]

The augmented reality function doesn’t really seem to work. I’ve tried recalibrating multiple times, repositioning my phone etc… My results and scores are the same even if I don’t actually play any notes. Headphones are not turned up loud enough for the app to hear I still get “perfect” scores and “too low/ too high” […]

The app could be good if it could actually start. I did a few lessons but now it will not start, it gets stuck on loading screen. I couldn’t even use the trial week. EDIT: After I got contacted by the support team I uninstalled and reinstalled the app and now it works OK.

When the yearly subscription ended it took me a few months to renew because of the steep price but finally did it since I enjoyed practicing full songs… most of the songs I was practicing were gone (Police, ACDC, Clapton, probably others I forgot were in my favorites) that’s a huge disappointment. I will spend […]

This app appears to be all about getting you sign up for a subscription. You can’t even try a song for free without going through the sign up process to get 14 days free which automatically enrolls you in a $14.99 a month subscription that you will have to cancel. I am assuming they are […]

Works well, no latency at all once it’s sequenced. Lessons seem well laid out and simple to follow, at least from what I can tell in the free side of it. Which gets me to the negative, you can only pay through Google play (gonna guess apple store) I see no way to enter other […]

Edit: I’ve become an exceptional guitar player. Still give 99% of the credit to the app for keeping me engaged in the beginning. Thanks! I can’t believe how truly amazing the experience has been! I didn’t know a thing about the guitar and this app, within 6 weeks, taught me the fundamentals and I’ve got […]

I liked the app until I learned that none of the songs outside the Strumming Patterns actually have strumming patterns. I’ve progressed through all the levels and there isn’t anything about stuff like hammer-ons, pull-offs, and I don’t think I’ve seen any scales either. The song choice is very limited compared to similar apps also. […]

I like this app. I used to play guitar and know some basics. Wanted to pick up where I left off and for that this app is very good. I’m not sure if it’s well suited for a beginning from zero tho, I remember my guitar teacher helping me with technics of how to move […]

the app says my device is offline because it can’t connect with Facebook. I don’t allow any apps to do that. Can you make it work without the link? Got your response. Your app is broken. I specifically deny all apps access to Facebook. However, when your app starts up, the 2nd thing it looks […]

Fun stuff! Easy to use. It sure would be great if I could cast “The Collection” series to my Chromecast to watch on a larger screen. Update: After contacting support, they promise that they are troubleshooting the absent cast button. The support is excellent. Just be sure you’re using a low-latency USB C to 3.5mm […]

I originally gave this app 1 star because of some issues with it recognizing notes, but finally realized that the microphone on my phone needed to be cleaned. After that it got a lot better. The app has been great and has helped me to feel like I’m making consistent progress in my learning. It […]

Its ok, and probably good for beginners. I have a couple of gripes. The song choices are very limited, and the songs that are in there seem to be dumbed down versions, If I’m to spend time to learn a song I would like it to be the legit version. Last gripe is the price, […]

I love this app, but there are some glitches. I love all the lessons and, after 15 weeks, I’ve gone from complete novice who couldn’t play the guitar to save my life to now knowing how to pick strings and strum and even play some chords. The issues I’m seeing are: even when I’ve fully […]

Lots of glitches. This app has some good parts, but lacks more than it offers. At first I really like the app and the way it teaches. But the more I got into it the more I found I don’t like. I wish there was a way to see the full tab of the song […]

I have been “playing” guitar for a while as a Strummer. Playing Basic chords and singing along as I play the chords to a song. I wanted to learn more in terms of licks, solos, theory, etc…. sooo many apps and videos out there I tried another app and it’s ok but watching videos is […]

Update to last review: I am now closing in on 4 months and have basically finished the courses. I am where I would’ve wanted to be as a guitarist in a year or so when I picked this up. If you liked guitar hero as a kid, you might also get through the courses in […]
