Guitar : Solo Lite

Guitar: Solo Lite is a guitar emulator with defined guitar chords

Guitar: Solo Lite is an emulator but not a substitute of an acoustic guitar, and that's something that has to be quite cleared. The chords are defined and set in buttons and you may switch easy from one to another. The sound is quite good as well as the screentouch, and that's what makes it so interesting. You won't learn how to play with this app, but if you're a beginner you will get used to each chords sounds. If you already know how to play is an interesting tool to easily get some new ideas.

It has a huge chord library (which is the same than in the full version). You can create and load custom chords layouts. There are lots of settings to customize your playing style: for example, you can set the chords you want to have in the grid of buttons.

Guitar has been developed by Coding Caveman, an emerging developer who has just launched the free and the paid version of this app. It has a promising future since this one is really well developed.

As we said, trying to play guitar in a phone or a tablet has a two obvious catches: the screensize and the screentouch. However, this app has been thought to be useful even with those limitations. It's not a substitute of a guitar, it's a complementary tool. And its highly recommendable.

With Solo you can play to your favourite songs, or create some of your own...

It's ideal for jamming sessions when you don't have your guitar with you, or an excellent reference for when you do!

ABOUT PERMISSIONS:
Recently Solo Lite has become ad supported (Don't hate me, even developers have to make a living :). An add will only ever be shown on the loading screen on start-up, where it will not interfere with playing. For showing ads, the app requires a few new permissions (these are in the Lite version only, the full version has no ads or extra permissions). Below is a description of required permissions:

INTERNET ACCESS - To check/download updates (for non-Market users), free upgrades via GetJar Rewards, ad on startup

VIEW NETWORK STATE - Solo checks if internet connection is up and enables/disables online features as appropriate

READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY - Only used to access the device ID. Solo does NOT access phone calls or other information apart from the device ID (needed to uniquely identify the device and earn gold to upgrade features)

The "Read phone state and identity" permission doesn't give devs access to passwords or other personal identity information. The only id obtained from this is the phone's IMEI number, which is a unique serial number tied to every device with a sim card. Knowing this number does not give devs access to any personal information, it only provides a way for us to reliably distinguish between different devices.

STORAGE - Used to backup/restore chords on the SD Card

VIBRATE - For string vibrations and haptic feedback (optional)
