Just a few days after its highly anticipated release, the Gibson Guitar iPhone App is already ranked as Apple’s # 1 Top Free App in the Music category with well over 100,000 downloads in the first few days. With the continued surge of interest from music enthusiasts the Gibson Guitar iPhone App continues to climb and is currently ranked 15th overall for Apple’s Top Free Apps.
The free to download Gibson Guitar iPhone App is available exclusively for all Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users directly from the Apple App Store.
The Gibson Guitar iPhone App includes a number of special features, such as a traditional chromatic tuner that starts in “All Notes” mode that tracks whatever is played. Owners of the App can choose a tuning on the “Mode” page so the tuner will only track notes for that particular tuning. Also included is a standard chromatic tuner, a simple tuner that allows less advanced users to tune to Standard tuning Open G, Open D etc by touching the key. For iPhone users, the Gibson headstock inlay will automatically change color indicating if the string is sharp, flat or in tune. For iPod Touch users they can turn the “Play Notes” option on so they can hear the appropriate tuning since they do not have a microphone facility.
The Gibson Guitar iPhone App also features a standard metronome that allows users to choose a specific BPM or tap the screen three times to automatically set the tempo. Other key features of the app include over 30 chord charts with finger markings to help the user with mastering the chord.
