It was understandable considering that the Android OS is good, has thousands applications and it’s affordable price.
Here, I will share with you about some Android apps that I think are the most useful for the guitarist. There are so many apps for the guitar in Google Playstore. But i will not review for all of them here, only a few applications that I think was the best and I ever use it personally. Ok, here we go..
Have you ever experienced where you will play in a gigs and suddenly you realize that you forget to bring your guitar tuner? Panic, right? Yes even thoung we can be tune the guitar manually using the ear, but the situation is sometimes difficult to do so. For example, we’re going to play the gig and the environment behind the stage are too noisy to tune your guitar by ear. So in a situation like that, this application can be very helpful.

Every musician needs a metronome, especially for guitarists who want to become shredder, it is very advisable to practice skills using a metronome regularly. But even if you don’t want to be a the shredder, still you need a metronome for practice. And in my opinion, it is much easier to use a metronome app on the smartphone rather than having to carry a large heavy analog metronome everywhere.

Tempo can be set with ease, you can set time signature from the most simple to the most complex. Metronome volume can be adjusted manually, and do not worry, if there is an incoming call, the application will automatically stop ticking.
