Guitar Trainer 1.2 for Java ME and Blackberry ∞
13 Sep 2011
The original Guitar Trainer app for Java ME and BlackBerry has just been updated to version 1.2.
The main changes in this release are a full Chinese localization (both traditional and simplified), as well as some other cosmetic changes to bring the app more in line with Guitar Trainer HD for iOS.
This app is still widely in use around the world and is available for purchase straight from our website at MobileTutor.org, or at a variety of App Stores, including the BlackBerry App World store.
You may also want to check out the free demo version if you haven't already.
We are continually expanding the international reach of our apps with new updates. More languages are coming soon to Guitar Trainer HD for iOS, please stay tuned !
Guitar Trainer HD v3.0 is now available ∞
02 Aug 2011
We are proud to announce the release of version 3.0 of Guitar Trainer HD and Guitar Trainer HDx, the first universal version of these educational apps for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
While previous versions worked fine on iPad, they were not native to this tablet. Version 3.0 now brings it to scale with a full iPad interface tailored to the bigger screen.
This new version of Guitar Trainer HD also includes a number of bug fixes for the iPhone side of things, and sports a new look.
The app is a completely free update for existing users, and pricing is not changing either, so if you haven't yet had a chance to try Guitar Trainer HD out, now is the time!
Guitar Trainer HDx now available. Free app for your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad! ∞
06 Jul 2011
We are proud to announce the availability on the iTunes App Store of Guitar Trainer HDx, a free version of our popular Guitar Trainer HD app.The features included in HDx are identical to the ones included in the HD version. Both versions of the app will be updated in parallel, as new features are added, including full universal iPad support coming later this month.
The main difference between the HD and HDx versions of Guitar Trainer is the pricing model. The new HDx version includes limited versions of all instruments, which allows you to try before you buy. Each instrument can be unlocked via in-app purchase, either individually or as a discounted bundle. Individual instruments however are priced higher than in the HD version.
This new pricing model is especially advantageous if the instrument you intend to practice is not the 6-string guitar, which is the only full instrument included with Guitar Trainer HD. Now you can get the app itself for free and unlock only the instruments you need.
Here are the instruments included in both the HD and HDx versions of Guitar Trainer :
- 6-string guitar (full version included as part of Guitar Trainer HD)
- 7-string guitar
- 4-string bass
- 5-string bass
- 6-string bass
- Ukulele
- Mandolin
- Banjo
We have more features and instruments planned for the near future. Please let us know if you have any requests!

Guitar Trainer HD for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad now available ∞
05 May 2011
We are proud to announce the release of our first major new iOS app, Guitar Trainer HD.
While the original Guitar Trainer app has been available for a few years now for legacy Java platforms and BlackBerry, this new version of the software is an important evolutionary step forward and provides musicians with a beautiful tool to improve their knowledge of their instrument.
For a quick overview of the features and look of the new Guitar Trainer HD, just take a look at this video demonstration:
The app features 8 different instruments so far: guitar (6 and 7 strings), bass (4, 5 and 6 string variants), mandolin, banjo and ukulele, each with their own custom sounds, a variety of built-in tunings, and the ability to define your own custom tunings.
Additionally, a Free Play mode allows you to simply play with the instrument as you wish.
Statistics on your progress are kept in great detail - for each fret in each available tuning, and the training engine automatically focuses on the parts of the fretboard where you are either untrained
Guitar Trainer HD is available worldwide and retails at $2.99 in the United States, which includes full support for the 6-string guitar. Additional instruments can be purchased from inside the app.
A universal version of the app will bring full iPad support soon. Get your copy now and you'll be eligible for a free upgrade when it becomes available!
If you'd like to review the app, we can provide you with a promotional copy of the software. Please contact us directly with your request.
