2022'S BEST GUITAR APPS TOP CHOICES FOR LEARNING, TUNING, RECORDING AND MORE
IF YOU HAVE a smartphone and you're still not using it to help with your guitar playing, you're missing out. The best guitar apps can truly help with your musical ventures, integrating into your practice regimen to help you become the player you want to be.
Whether it's a simple tuner or a fully-fledged multi-track recorder, the modern guitarist is spoiled when it comes to apps. You don't have to be a new player to take advantage of them, either; there are plenty of great apps that'll help you solidify what you've already learned through practice, such as metronomes and loopers. To save you the hassle of sifting through the many options on Google Play or the App Store, we've put together our pick of the best guitar apps available today. Enjoy!
THE BOSS TUNER APP
A must-have! It's incredibly simple, and with well over a million downloads on Google Play alone, it clearly does its job very well. It can tune all the way from Ato (29.14Hz) to G8 (6.2kHz), meaning you'll be covered for every instrument across the frequency spectrum, not just guitar. It also has two skins one based on the classic Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner pedal, the other on the Waza Craft TU-3W version. P.S. It's free!

HOW TO PLAY THIS MONTH'S SONGS
RELEASED AS A single, ahead of Shinedown's upcoming eighth studio album, this simple, well-crafted song, which was no doubt at least partially inspired by Def Leppard's “Hysteria” and U2's “With or Without You,” has guitarist Zach Myers flatpicking eighth notes with a clean bridge-pickup tone, laying down a repeating eight-bar pattern of ringing chordal arpeggios that share three common tones, with only the bass note changing every two bars.
