Visualize the fretboard, master scales and play through changes like a pro with intervallic functions!
‣ Solo is a revolutionary practice tool designed by world renowned fusion guitarists Tom Quayle and David Beebee.
‣ One of the biggest barriers to improvising on guitar is finding and mapping out the relevant chord tones and scales all over on the fretboard in real time.
Solo is a highly focussed app for developing your note finding and visualization ability on the guitar. There is no time-based pressure and Solo reduces the cognitive load of having to choose which ‘notes/intervals’ to play. As you get quicker at finding these ‘notes’ you will conversely get better at choosing them whilst improvising. Players of all ability levels will reap huge benefits from practicing with Solo.
‣ Using common progressions, Solo presents you with one chord symbol or scale at a time and asks you to find and play a series of notes based on their intervallic function.
‣ Solo listens to the notes you play, analyzes them in real time, and doesn’t move on until you’ve correctly found each note by its intervallic function in the specified order.
‣ This process builds strong fretboard visualization for the most powerful, efficient and malleable way to KNOW your way around the fretboard no matter how difficult the chord changes are.
As a unique and powerful ear training tool, Solo also develops your ability to not only visualize what you’re playing, but hear it in real time too.
If you know your note names but struggle to learn new scales, play through chord changes or find yourself stuck in pattern based playing, practicing diligently with Solo will be transformational for your knowledge of the fretboard and subsequently your ability to outline harmony when you improvise.
‣ CHANGES PLAYING TRAINER
Practice finding intervallic functions over a series of chord changes based on common and popular chord progressions. Solo is programmed with all the knowledge behind the scenes to understand jazz and popular music harmony and will always pick appropriate intervallic functions based on the harmony of the progression.
‣ SCALE TRAINER
Practice finding intervallic functions within scales on the fretboard. Solo includes all the modes of the Major, Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor and Harmonic Major scales, plus pentatonic and symmetrical scales. Seeing and finding scale tones as intervallic functions will transform your ability to manipulate and improvise with scales in real time.
‣ TUTORIALS
Solo also includes video tutorials to get you started with intervallic functions, how to find them on the fretboard, using Solo for ear training and how to get the most from your practice time with the app.

I'm not sure if this is feasible, or if it's already been suggested before. How about programming/inputting your own chord progression. That way if there's a song you want to work on, you can use Solo for it.

[@mikebryant4146]

I just saw this request for adding progressions and had asked for the same future feature. Fingers crossed!

[@Pim3211]

Good suggestion

[@SoloApp]

Thanks for the feedback guys, this is really useful when planning for the future!

[@the213]

You are both incredible human beings. You care about music and people. Just what the world needs. That’s why I love you and your important work. Thanks!

[@SoloApp]

Thanks for the kinds words Mark! Happy practising 🙏🏻

[@rishibMusic06]

Great video Tom and David 😊🎉. Really enjoying and learning a lot out SOLO. Can you also suggest an app to practice advance chords and their shapes and to play what we learn from SOLO over them rhythmically. Thanks 😊

[@davedavem]

This is what I've needed for so long. I remember saying to a friend 18 years ago that he could literally play Greensleeves faster than I could think. That was muscle memory, which is faster than cognition anyway, but what I meant was this!

[@SoloApp]

Glad you enjoyed it dave! Happy practising :)

[@rickclick8359]

I wonder if there is a way to have a backing track just sustain each chord and then move to the next when you find the note. It would play the changes out of time. Just thinking ahead of a way to add some more ear training in the future. Probably a midi trigger from the app.

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

Will there be more content uploaded to the Solo channel? Everything uploaded so far is incredibly useful and inspirational!

[@tiagovilares692]

The application could show all the chords of the song to help memorize the chord progression. So we knew what chord we were on

[@SoloApp]

Hey Tiago, thanks for the feedback!

[@Kimomaru]

Hey, guys - can you add an option under Changes>Workout Options>Key where the key is randomized after each exercise? I use solo for 30 mins/day and I set it to Repeat, but it's the same key for the whole 30 mins. Would love to see it change after each exercise, I think this addition would still be in keeping with the app's intended design.

[@SoloApp]

Hey Kimomaru, great idea, thanks for the suggestion, we'll add to the list of things to talk about in future updates! Cheers.

[@Kimomaru]

@@SoloApp Thank you! Getting ready to sit down for my daily 30 minutes of Solo training - love the app, keep up the great work!

[@SoloApp]

Great stuff, me too!

[@cjche25]

Thanks for SOLO, I love it. I was just wondering, is there any way to add more songs to the song form list?

[@SoloApp]

Hi Clifton, glad you're enjoying Solo! There is currently no option to add custom chord changes, but we're investigating this for a future version of Solo! Stay tuned :) In the meantime you can always email us with any requests if you have something specific you'd like added. We'll see what we can do. Thanks for the feedback!

[@irishbanjolessons]

Hi guys, I’m really enjoying the solo app. I’ve only been using it for a week and I’m all ready noticing a big improvement in my understanding of the fretboard. It’s also great that you are putting out all the free content to go along with it. I will definitely be recommending the app to my students and friends. I’m not sure if it is possible but it would be really cool if you could add an onscreen guitar/fretboard that allowed you to select notes/frets that would also allow you to practice without your guitar while on the bus for example. Thanks, David

[@SoloApp]

Hey David, we're thrilled you're enjoying solo and find it beneficial. Thanks for the feedback, really useful.

[@Havanacuba1985]

Cool ,I trust your judgement regarding time if it’s going to benefit me ,thank you

[@SoloApp]

You're welcome, thank you Paul!

[@aranasaurus]

So when can we look forward to the release of Rhÿthm?

[@SoloApp]

Hah! 😆....

[@sunburntaquaticape6694]

Agreed 👍 You need to learn to walk before you can run! Cheers lads, great app! 🎶

[@SoloApp]

100% and thanks Ape!

[@iNX974974]

Can you add drone to the app according the chords to understand context for playing the traget note?

[@SoloApp]

Thanks for the feedback iNX, it's a great idea. We're keen to investigate this as a possible feature in a future version of Solo! Stay tuned :)

[@mikebryant4146]

Is it possible to write chord progressions into solo? i.e, other standards or original compositions?

[@SoloApp]

Hi Mike, not currently I'm afraid, but we're investigating this for a future version of Solo! Stay tuned :) In the meantime you can always email us with any requests if you have something specific you'd like added. We may be able to put it in.

[@Joshua_Ramos]

Can i use solo without internet connection??

[@SoloApp]

You certainly can! Practise anywhere :D

[@Joshua_Ramos]

@@SoloApp thanks Guys Im buying Solo❤️🎸

[@SoloApp]

Thank you! Good luck with the journey and happy practising 👍🏻
