Signature Solos is a guitar app for guitarists. It’s a truly useful learning tool that takes you from the basics to mastery. Going way beyond where to put your fingers, it illuminates style, technique, and nuance from some of the world’s best guitar players. Our technology does what You Tube can’t: It puts you in control.

With the Signature Solos app, you can easily step through the video to focus on a group of notes. You can repeat short phrases as many times as you wish to soak up the subtleties in the bends, vibrato, attack, and picking. We have done the work for you of breaking up the instruction into bite-sized phrases making them much easier to learn and absorb.

The video playback can be slowed down without changing the pitch. There are multiple camera angles allowing you to switch views from right-hand to left-hand with a single tap. You can zoom in by double tapping or pinching the video like you would a photo. You can individually play or mute the solo, backing, and click tracks. All of this can be done while the video is playing and without interruption.

If you play left handed, we have some great news for you. Signature Solos has a lefty mode setting that automatically translates all of the video into a left handed presentation.

What about the content? Signature Solos brings all kinds of great stuff from world-class guitarists. There is an Artist Spotlight section that features the likes of Jude Gold, Gretchen Menn, Gary Schutt, and T.D. Clark. The Lab Series has note for note breakdowns of classic solos. The Riff Room presents ideas on how to incorporate exercises musically into your own playing. There's awesome authentic Delta Blues from K.K. Martin. Jeff Tamelier is featured in the Funk Trunk. There is an entire suite of Blast Classes that will help you learn soloing, increase your speed and accuracy, perfect your technique, and improve your ear. There is a slew of high quality background tracks to practice soloing over, complete with suggestions of things to try.

If you love guitar, you owe it to yourself to get this app.

A couple of friendly notes:

• The downloads are video featuring multiple camera angles and separate audio tracks, so they can get a little big, and you may want to download over WiFi rather than a cellular network connection.

• Most of the content is free once you purchase the app, but there are a few that are a nominal in-app purchase to cover licensing costs.
