Guitar Scales Power2.4.5 - App Store

Guitar Scales Power will help guitar players at any level learn many of the most commonly used scales and modes. Stay in tune with the tuner and enhance your playing skills by mastering scale positions in any key.

Practice playing with scale position loops to perfect the position and build muscle memory. Learning scales will boost your finger dexterity and ability to improvise. Start slowly and increase speed as you progress.

Play scales by swiping across guitar strings; the direction of the swipe determines ascending or descending playback. Play scale position loops by tapping the play loop button. Tap on a note to play it.

Scale positions correspond to the CAGED system, which consists of five patterns that cover the fretboard for each scale. The chord shape for each position is displayed to assist you in learning it in any key.

The tuner offers a chromatic mode or the option to select from various tunings.

The tuner and instruments use an adjustable reference frequency, set to 410 Hz - 470 Hz (default A = 440 Hz).
