Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could suggest some cool guitar apps for the iPad. Im looking for something user friendly and beginner oriented. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Guitarism, Jam-up Pro, Ampkit. Enough said. 
Edit: ...or maybe not. Also: Audiobus, iFretless Guitar, & iFretless Bass.

Thanks Sean! I'll definitely check those out. I actually just found some few cool ones myself: ZAPGuitar is pretty cool. Also Virtual Guitar is pretty nice as well. You should play around with them. Thanks for the heads up dude!

Usually found near the top of the three charts in iPad music apps, for years actually. Not to mention featured on Apple iPad billboard adverts still being spotted all over the US, and in Canada too.conundrum wrote:See IKM Amplitube.jerrysiegler wrote:Peter???
THERE I am!!!! I knew martygras wasn't being mean-spirited and I figured OP would probably see it in the multiple places it is featured or ranks high on the App Store, plus the upcoming news of new surprises exclusively for iRig HD owners, the new stuff from that video I posted elsewhere in this sub forum, the progress with it and XXXXOOPSNOTNOWXXXX so no harm no foul.All in good fun, but seriously yes I do believe you should give AmpliTube for iPad a good run too, OP.

You didn't say what the purpose was - I will say that my favorite iOS app for guitar is relatively unknown: Chordbank.
This is an incredibly rich app that has several different features for helping to learn chords on the guitar in various positions on the fretboard, listen to what they sound like, even look at and listen to common chord progressions using a particular chord.
I got it when it was a freebie. It's now a pay-for app. The chord progression feature (under the atom symbol) is a seriously good songwriting tool.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chordba ... 02509?mt=8
I think the auditioning of chord progressions might be in the pro version only. The link I provided is for the free version. Pro version is $3.99.
I have a bunch of amp simulation apps - the freebie versions - but to me, this is actually the most useful. Give the free version a spin.
(putting on the old-man voice now)
Back in the day when I was learning chords, we had to look them up - in a book. Now you kids don't know how good you have it made looking at these with the swipe of a finger.
(old man voice now put away)
Seriously, give it a try. It's a great pocket reference for chords all by itself. The progression tool is simply outstanding.

On a serious note, this is another reason I wasn't in here until beckoned. I wasn't quite sure either and frankly was leaning more toward this line of thinking. Thanks for the app suggestion, I know it has been on my radar but you'd be surprised (actually probably not so surprised) how hard it is to see the forest for the trees when you are right in there!rockstar_not wrote:You didn't say what the purpose was - I will say that my favorite iOS app for guitar is relatively unknown: Chordbank.

I like Stompbox by 4pockets.com
17 effects, looping, pre-amp selection, tuner etc ad nauseum....

There does seem to be several guitar/bass chord apps out, but they all look the same. Hard to tell if they are useful or not. i.e. transposing keys, using different modes etc.
Circle Theory has been very helpful to me for writing orchestral parts, but it assumes you have a basic knowledge of theory to start with.
It is an older app that is not getting any attention from the dev(s) other than to update for iOS changes.
