Description
Visualize the fretboard, master scales and play through changes like a pro with intervallic functions!
‣ Solo is a revolutionary practice tool designed by world renowned fusion guitarists Tom Quayle and David Beebee.
‣ One of the biggest barriers to improvising on guitar is finding and mapping out the relevant chord tones and scales all over on the fretboard in real time.
Solo is a highly focussed app for developing your note finding and visualization ability on the guitar. There is no time-based pressure and Solo reduces the cognitive load of having to choose which ‘notes/intervals’ to play. As you get quicker at finding these ‘notes’ you will conversely get better at choosing them whilst improvising. Players of all ability levels will reap huge benefits from practicing with Solo.
‣ Using common progressions, Solo presents you with one chord symbol or scale at a time and asks you to find and play a series of notes based on their intervallic function.
‣ Solo listens to the notes you play, analyzes them in real time, and doesn’t move on until you’ve correctly found each note by its intervallic function in the specified order.
‣ This process builds strong fretboard visualization for the most powerful, efficient and malleable way to KNOW your way around the fretboard no matter how difficult the chord changes are.
As a unique and powerful ear training tool, Solo also develops your ability to not only visualize what you’re playing, but hear it in real time too.
If you know your note names but struggle to learn new scales, play through chord changes or find yourself stuck in pattern based playing, practicing diligently with Solo will be transformational for your knowledge of the fretboard and subsequently your ability to outline harmony when you improvise.
‣ CHANGES PLAYING TRAINER
Practice finding intervallic functions over a series of chord changes based on common and popular chord progressions. Solo is programmed with all the knowledge behind the scenes to understand jazz and popular music harmony and will always pick appropriate intervallic functions based on the harmony of the progression.
‣ SCALE TRAINER
Practice finding intervallic functions within scales on the fretboard. Solo includes all the modes of the Major, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor and Harmonic Major scales, plus pentatonic and symmetrical scales. Seeing and finding scale tones as intervallic functions will transform your ability to manipulate and improvise with scales in real time.
‣ TUTORIALS
Solo also includes video tutorials to get you started with intervallic functions, how to find them on the fretboard, using Solo for ear training and how to get the most from your practice time with the app.
No registration or account required.

*Improved level updates - Chord Scale (Randomised Starting Chord Tone).
Solo - Fretboard Visualization 1.1.0
Voice Leading
When randomising a level you can now also turn on intelligent 'voice leading'. This will automatically choose the nearest chord tone for the first note of the next chord. This connects chord changes together, resulting in a more musical and real world way of practising.
Instrument Selection
This allows you to select the instrument you are using and optimise Solo's note recognition.
Transposing Support.
Since launching last month we've discovered Solo being used enthusiastically by non-guitarists and had many requests to support transposing instruments. Our new instrument selection allows Eb and Bb horns to practise with Solo.
Improved Level Updates
Chord Scale (Randomised Starting Degree) has been updated to the more useful Chord Scale (Randomised Starting Chord Tone).
Thanks!
We've been blown away by the response to Solo, and we're thrilled to see so many people enjoy practising! We also really appreciate the feedback and feature requests, rest assured we're working hard to make Solo bigger and better! Stay tuned to our website/blog/socials and Tom and David's personal social media profiles for the latest updates and what's coming next.

Gordette,
The FIRST beneficial guitar APP!! Open the gate of music!
Tom is a great guitarist and instructor. I have several of his courses from his website. I saw he had came out with this app. And just knew if he had anything in putting it together it would be awesome.
Firstly this is the way to learn guitar, sadly it took 12 years of playing for this stuff to start showing up in my playing. Will definitely hit a wall in progress with playing if not thinking of target notes and the intervallic structure of chords/scales. It’s crazy I’ve been thinking of a way to practice this stuff in this way like flash cards or something! Guess that’s why I’m writing the review and Tom made the app! But extremely grateful for this contribution to the art and if a lot of young guys start using and learning this way it will change music!

Louie plays guitar!,
Great app, but just a suggestion.
This is a great app, I love the purpose behind it. I feel with time it will greatly help me to become a better guitar player. However, I would caution saying this app could be suited for beginners. Personally in my experience most beginners have zero theory knowledge. And even for those beginners who are learning theory, I feel this app could be a bit advanced and maybe even a little discouraging for them. Beginning players usually benefit from song audio references, scale and chord diagrams and what not, and I feel this app has a different focus in mind. I would suggest aiming this app at the intermediate to advanced player in terms of theory, not playability. Some people may get the wrong idea if they don’t read all of the literature from the website. Other than that, keep up the great work!
XXXX-15,
Very efficient
Over many years i have spent a lot of cash on music books, videos, cd’s, incompetent teaching methods, name it iv’e probably owned it. You could say that i am a well rounded guitar manipulator, as the saying goes “a player of many, a master of none”. This app is exactly what it says, it is a help- mate. Meaning, no matter what curriculum you choose it all comes down to putting your time in.
This app will give you some very powerful platforms to work from, its up to you to perform those platforms. I would honestly and will, tell my friends about this app, because it has substance with only as much difficulty to challenge you to put your time in. For me, I have over the years been very fortunate to be in bands as a vocalist, not having to play guitar all the time. But really, within those bands I was left behind as far as guitar abilities. So, my point is, yes get this app, but don’t forget you must put in the time. You cannot avoid it, if you wish to fulfill your dreams, do your time.
I wish you all of the fortune out there to get. Godbless
And to those who created this app, job well done, i will use this app as a reference for work, and also when i practice. I practice no less than 3 hours a day, and sometimes up and to 8 hours. Goodluck

xhosedraggerx,
No gimmicks, just real practice!
As a guitar player of 30+ years, I understand theory and the fretboard. But putting the two together while improvising can still be a struggle (or to add flavor when soloing). This app is perfect for developing those quick mental and physical music theory connections!
The “flash card” style practice sessions are fantastic for the player that can play with ease but needs to sharpen those fretboard navigation skills.
If you are a guitar player that is beyond basic chords and scales, then this app is for you. Even if you are an advanced player, use this to improve your speed, accuracy, and sharpen your theory skills.

Jimcogneato,
Seriously key learning tool
I’m a couple days in on a self structured practice routine (one of the good things and hard things about this app, you have freedom and responsibility in deciding how you’ll use it.) Having learned scale shapes, chord shapes, caged system, etc. There has always been something missing, in the way my brain takes that information and understands how to use it in context, and then project it on the fretboard. This app is already bringing it all together. I’d say it has to be an invaluable piece of learning for any guitarist from now on. And, it’s reasonably priced, No monthly membership. Awesome. Great job fellas!
RafaAze,
Impressed
I started playing jazz saxophone in primary school and guitar for fun. This app helped click the type of understanding of chords I had on the saxophone within a few minutes of use . I was surprised how intuitive it was. If I could make one suggestion it would be that I would like the option for it to listen through a usb interface so that I can use the app while there is background noise going on. I haven’t quite gotten the sensitivity right as it’s picking up the tv for instance as well. Other then that really impressed with how “simple” and effective this method is .
Tonkageorgio,
Perfect Timing (and iRig Compatible)
In the last couple months I’ve dedicated myself to really learning the fretboard. In doing so I’ve been coming up with my own practice regimen that’s less than optimal, and wishing I had something like automated flash cards. I wake up this morning to find this app. PERFECT! I’m sure there will be lots of suggestions for additional features, but this initial version has the main things I want and need right now.
I was also very hopeful that I could connect my iRig so I can practice in quiet and that seems to work flawlessly.

frontporchblues,
Very useful. Two suggestions.
Understanding and being able to find intervals in real time is critical to improving musicianship. I think this app will definitely help me with that. There are two features I can think of that would make the app better in my opinion. I’d like to see a built in metronome to optionally enforce steady time and it would be great if there was an optional visual representation of the intervals on a staff to reinforce recognizing intervals by sight. Thanks for a great practice tool
max1z2j6h,
cool but….
i’m only five minutes into using it and I feel a little scammed which is surprising because I really like Tom Quayle and his stuff. It might just be my microphone on my iphone 10 is bad but i just openned up the scales exercises doing A dorian, i play A twice and the app counts it as the first AND 2nd note in the scale….like is this a joke….the whole point is for the app to track your notes accurately and individually and it wont even let me practice a basic scale without accidentally picking up notes im not playing. AND when it does work, it wont recognize the notes if i play faster than about 100 bpm up and down the scale….very disappointed 😞
greener pastures maine,
Good but could be better
I have learned a lot about my lack of fretboard knowledge through this app. It’s too early to know if this actually improves my playing or improvising. One feature I would like is to ask for is generating a single random note to improve fretboard knowledge. The scale exercises aren’t truly random. Unless you leave the session it will use the same “random” pattern. I would also like the scale exercises to repeat automatically like the chord exercises. Oh and the developers do not respond to questions.
