App-etizers

Planet Waves has a great new suite of iPhone apps called Guitar Tools. Let's take a closer look:

Chords

Guitar Tools includes a complete chord dictionary with over 7,000 voicings. Simply select the chord you want, and use the touch screen to strum it. Great for writing songs on the go.

Chord Finder

You put your fingers into some neat configuration, you love how it sounds...but what should you call it? Guitar Tools allows you to select the string and fret position and then gives you the proper name of the chord.

Scales

Thousands of scales, modes, arpeggios in multiple fingerings. You can even re-tune the virtual guitar and get scales for DADGAD, Open G or any other tuning you can dream up.

Tuner

Choose analog needle or digital strobe readout to keep your instrument in tune.

Metronome

Get into the groove by tapping the tempo on the touchscreen and choosing from multiple sounds and time signatures.

Learn

Using the "Teachers Near Me" function, Guitar Tools can find a local instructor no matter where you are. Grab a lesson while on vacation!

Shop

A database of music stores to help you find out where to make your next gear purchase. Great for Road Managers and Guitar Techs.
