Learn to play guitar – and have fun doing it– with the feature-packed Gibson App

Gibson has been in the forefront of the music industry for the last 130 years providing the world’s best musicians with the most iconic and highest quality hand-crafted guitars to play. Gibson continues to be at the head of innovation and has developed an exceptional guitar learning app to help beginners and advanced players learn and develop. The Gibson app works with any guitar and offers in-depth, quality learning via a curated journey where players of all levels develop new skills and master their favorite songs quickly in a fun, engaging, and interactive approach. 

What’s more, the Gibson App provides a host of unique features, including a built-in digital amplifier with acoustic and electric effects that you can “crank up” while you’re learning or jamming along with your favorite tunes. It’s tailored for every skill level, from the first-time player to the serious accomplished musician, with a “gamified” yet thoughtful AI approach that makes learning and advancing fun as well as informative. 

Beginners can learn basic skills quickly, starting with how to pick a string and fret a note. From there, simple melodies are introduced, and rhythm and lead guitar rudiments are broken down into easy-to-digest skills and lessons that incorporate animated diagrams, video tutorials that provide real-time feedback, and more.

Players can also learn at their own pace by slowing down lessons, looping difficult parts, and repeating as many times as necessary until they’re ready to advance to the next level.

Even better, the Gibson App makes it possible to learn and also use your new skills by playing songs from your favorite artists. Most songs in the app are offered in Easy, Medium, and Hard versions so that no matter your skill level, you can rock out to your favorite song mightily and immediately by learning each part with step-by-step video instructions followed by interactive lessons.

Players can also select a backing track to jam along with, and the app will provide scales and licks that work with the song, as well as ways to improvise over licks. Intermediate and advanced players, meanwhile, can challenge themselves by learning to play in the style of some of the most popular guitarists of all time, from Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen to Slash, Adam Jones, and beyond, by diving deep into specific songs and skills. Players can also select guides in multiple genres and styles of music to up their overall skills and become more well-rounded guitarists.

And you can do it all while sounding like a rock star. The Gibson App includes a digital amplifier that transforms your iPhone or iPad into a full stack, allowing users to explore their sound and add effects to their playing. In addition, the app also provides a metronome, tuner, training calendar, access to Gibson TV’s impressive programming, and more.

The result is an unbeatable package and a game-changer in the digital guitar instruction world. Whether you’re a beginner and just getting started, an occasional player at home, or a serious gigging and recording musician, the Gibson App provides guitarists with everything you need to learn and play – and have fun doing it.
