Introducing "Smart Tabs".
The heart and soul of Guitar Lick Master lies in our revolutionary "Smart Tabs". Each lick features an interactive, color-coded tab that drastically simplifies the lick learning process. Most licks only have 3-4 parts total - youll be amazed how quickly you pick them up, and how easily you remember them!

Faster Learning Without Videos
Since the 1980s, video tutorials have been one of the most common ways to learn guitar licks. But as a modern teaching aid, video has some severe limitations. While sometimes informative and entertaining, passive, non-interactive videos are an extremely inefficient way to learn this type of material; the only way to control what you learn and at what speed is by pausing and rewinding countless times until it sinks in.
Watching an instructor sit and play *feels* productive, but it actually creates more work than is necessary and as a result is very time-consuming. For starters, their guitar is usually facing the wrong direction (unlike playing in front of a mirror). This requires your brain to flip the image. Multiple camera angles are a nice touch but with a maximum of two eyeballs, most humans can only watch one camera angle at a time. If we want to see the whole picture we have to pause and rewind again and again. The worst aspect of videos though is that licks arent broken down into easy-to-learn parts for the viewer; the instructor usually just plays through it a few times from memory and expects you to rewind the video until you memorize it. After wasting months pausing and rewinding lick tutorials, we realized something was wrong. The world needed a modern solution!

Heres a little test: Which number do you find easier to read?
5557874634
vs
555-787-4634
The second one is easier to read and will be easier to remember too. Why? Because its organized and broken down into smaller parts. This is precisely the simple technique weve applied to every lick in Guitar Lick Master!

Latest reviews of Guitar Lick Master - 50+ Licks, Ultimate Trainer with Smart Tabs app for iPhone and iPad
Please put the key name in the licks. This app is good.
I love it, this will be #1 app for learning. You wont sound like anyone one song, major benefit you dont have to preform, music is interpretation, I would like to see familiar songs added, because that would give a double benefit. But as far as learning this makes it as easy as it gets. And I bought all the best apps already, this I use more. Keep the tabs coming, maybe allow sharing? Share tabs? Who knows this app seems its capable of that or will be. Simply Amazing
You cant play along through a interface and theres some latency issues. Its not great but I havent deleted it yet so...well see. It might be better as a $2 app. I expected more for $3.99+tax
Great start on this app. The licks are great not to mention affordable. The app is easy to use. I cant wait to see what they add. I do wish it was available on the iPad. Maybe they are in process
Not a terrible trainer, but it is missing a couple of important features. There is no indication of the underlying chord the luck is played over, so good to train fingers, but not to train the mind - equally important in my book. Also, the count in on the metronome kind of baffles me. A good, two measure count, with four beats on the first measure an eight on the second would help me. I find myself playing catch up a bit, which is not ideal.
