So I finally got tired of pretending and bought a guitar. Congratulations! Now what are you doing? Most beginners start with some basic lessons for the thing to learn to keep your finger a few chords and simple. So far so good. After buying a book of tablature that shows how to finger chords and scales. This is where many aspiring guitarists give up and decides he is going to become singers in place.

An application for the iPhone called iPractice  can make the task of learning and practicing their foundations a little more fun. It is much more thorough than the implementation of the Guitar Star tried a few months ago, Star Guitar teaches you the names of the vocal chords and lets together in song ideas, but presumably you know how to play with them. iPractice really helps you learn to play in the first place.

I tried the free light version, which contains five basic lessons, such as the scale of C major and G pentatonic scales. (Pentatonic scales are the cornerstone of the blues and classic hard rock guitar.) First, set some parameters such as the speed with which you want to practice. At startup, the first screen shows a photo of a neck of the guitar, explaining that the chain to put finger to the starting position. After giving a few seconds to get your fingers in place, the application displays a simple graphic tablature. As the numbers light, you put your finger on the string and fret indicated and play. A track, click keeps at a constant speed, and a piano track optional background lets you know if you are in the key.

It will become a rock star overnight, but is more attractive than a book of scales, and more convenient than computer-based programs guitar lesson - on your iPhone you probably when you pick up your guitar, so you won 'have to drag your guitar to the computer. The full version costs $ 2.99, cheaper than any other book form I've seen, and includes 170 sessions. You need a second or later generation iPhone or iPod Touch to use it.
