This week I tried out a resource that I did not realize was right in front of my eyes since the beginning of my journey. I downloaded an app at the beginning of my journey called guitar tuna. I strictly just used this to help me tune my guitar, but this past week I decided to explore it more and see all that it had to offer. I found out this is a great tool for learning songs at all skills levels.
The app not only assists you in tuning your guitar, it also has thousands of songs that can be chosen in which it will walk you through the background of the song, and all the steps you need to know to learn hot to play the song. Each song has an option to learn the simplified version or the intermediate version. Each song includes six steps to learning – video (song background, chords, and strumming), Trainer tool, verse chord trainer, chorus chord trainer, strumming trainer, and the play along. You can go through these steps in any order you chose.
Overall this was a great tool, especially for a beginner! I found the steps easy to follow and allowed me to quickly learn the song. It was nice being able to take each step as slow or fast as I wanted and always being able to go back to any step. I definitely would recommend this tool and plan on using it often throughout my journey.

Hi Noah,
I have used this app for awhile now just as a tuner and didn’t realize everything else you can do with it. I am also just starting to learn guitar and this maybe helpful for me to check out. Thanks for sharing this app.
That is a really cool app you are using. Seems like you are really getting the hang of things. I love that you are doing a variety of songs and working with different cords. I bet your going to be able to put together a couple good songs by the end. I definitely think your positive attitude about this is helping you, keep up the great work!
Hi Noah! Thanks for sharing your progress! The Guitar Tuna app seems like an excellent tool for anyone learning guitar. I like that it allows you to learn a simplified or intermediate version of a song. Also, the song that you chose to learn is one of my favorites. Great choice! 🙂
