On each lesson there are four buttons:

* With button "a" you can listen to whole band.

* With button "b" you will listen your instrument at slow speed. Use this section to learn the pattern.

* With button "c" you can listen your instrument at normal speed.

* With button "d" you will listen just the other instruments. You have to integrate the Guitar part to the ensemble. No more animations. Audio repeats without stopping so you can practice until you reach the normal speed. You can improvise on the pattern, which is repeated over and
over.

* While practicing with buttons "a", "b" y "c", you can click on any bar from which you want to repeat.

* The sheet music and the animations of the notes on the staff are presented to let you see that there is a very close relation between what is played on the Guitar and how music is written and read. This helps on understanding the basis of reading music in an intuitive way. YOU DON´T NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE WRITTEN MUSIC IF YOU DON´T WANT TO.

* The easiest style to begin with is ROCK.

Guitar Bass lessons are fun with this app.

Playing the Electric Bass Guitar can be easier than playing Electric Guitar or Acoustic Guitar. One of the main differences between these instruments is that guitar strings are thiner than Bass Guitar strings.

With this app you don´t need to know how to read music. It shows you through animations what you have do with your fingers. You don´t have to know guitar chords to know how to play the Bass. If you know guitar scales it will help you playing the Bass Guitar but it´s not needed on this app.
