“Modes are somewhat confusing at first and without the right guidance can be tricky. This app makes it easy. As a teacher myself I will be showing students this cool little practice app.” - DannyK6, Customer, USA
“A revolutionary interactive modal practice tool.” - Paul Riario, Guitar World Magazine
---------
Modal Buddy arms guitarists and instructors with an intuitive, step-by-step method for teaching and practicing modal theory, improving proficiency and bolstering the value of lessons. It empowers you with a fun and efficient vehicle for exploring the truly magical yet notoriously complicated world of musical modes.

- Zoomable scale charts
- Practice examples
- Revolutionary jam tool

Q: WHO IS THIS APP FOR?
1) Music instructors with a BASIC understanding of modal theory who want to increase their confidence and effectiveness in teaching this fairly complex topic.
2) Music instructors with a COMPLETE understanding of modal theory who are looking for an easier, more consolidated approach to teaching and practicing the material with students.
3) Intermediate to advanced music students who are proficient in pentatonic and major scales and are interested in achieving more expressive guitar improvisation / melody creation.
Q: MODAL THEORY LITERATURE IS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE - WHY BUY THIS APP?
The breadth of freely available information about modal theory is the main reason it’s so difficult to learn (and teach) - there is simply too much out there, and much of it is poorly written or incorrect; a recipe for confusion! Teaching modal theory effectively requires a distillation and simplification of core concepts, organized strategically so they're easy for students to learn - and a method for applying those skills during lessons.
For less than the cost of an average theory book, we've consolidated and organized modal theory into it's finest form, and hand-crafted a completely custom experience, ideal for mastering the material. We know you and your students will love our approach!

ArizonaRedSand,
Great learning tool!
Highly recommended. It's helping me out a lot. However I'd love to see more than one jam track per mode and more than just having the modes in G.
Big Doofus,
Awesome with one minor flaw
I already know how to play in the modes, however this app is a fantastic tool because it is an excellent reference source as well as a learning and practice platform. There is one minor flaw though - it's an iPhone app so if you run it on iPad it can bug out a little bit - pressing the 1x or 2x button will freeze the app. Other than that very minor flaw this is definitely worth the time money and effort.
Tom Almy,
Modal Buddy
I think they really did a great job creating this app. The theory was explained in a very simplified way. I usually don't have time to studying music theory, but I did read through every section in the "Learn" part of the app. I am also spending a lot of time practicing with their backing tracks using the"Practice" feature. I actually think I'm becoming a better guitarist. All in all I would recommend this app to everyone.
Rich in Jax,
I'm a music teacher with 25+ years exp
I LOVE THIS APP and I encourage every student I teach to buy it. Even the non guitarists! Every musician should have a working knowledge of modes and this app is concise, linear, and very well done. Is it a complete fix for everything? Of course not but it is a fantastic starting point to get your students to start listening for chord changes. Before you run, you crawl. I'm looking forward to more keys in the future.

Decent, but overpriced
The backing tracks and the modal diagrams are helpful, don't get me wrong - but what you're really paying for is the time you'd spend finding them for free online. This is a $2 app, and even that is pushing it. Don't buy this app at full price. If I could go back and smack my past self before hitting "buy" I definitely would. Otherwise, it's a solid introduction to modal theory and I've found it helpful for identifying and fixing places where I need to improve.
musicalpaisan,
Thanks
I couldn’t figure out how to edit my previous review, so posting a new one. Thanks for updating the app to open on the iPad using iOS 14! Noting that if you could make it so it can rotate portrait to landscape like Beats, that would be even better! Thanks again for the quick update!
xsoundgardenx,
Only G major???
After all this time the app still only plays the jam tracks in one key (G major) and its corresponding modes. So if you want to practice soloing in Ab Dorian for example, you are just out of luck. Really stupid/lazy. I would have gladly paid for a wider variety of jam styles midis if the dumb app could transpose to each key. Without that feature the app is basically useless after a few uses.
dinonel-68,
Text overlaps making it impossible to read.
I do like the other product by this developer but this one is unusable on my iPad or iPhone. The title text overlaps the interval descriptions making it nearly impossible to read the content. I gave up one the app after a couple of minutes.
Recommend saving your money.

Great app one drawback it needs to have a setting to add the intervals on the circles like the 1st 2 3 b7 etc. please add a setting
cmfloyd,
Good but skimpy
1. Could use more examples
2. Should explain signature note for each node
3. Pretty thin for$5
