In this course, Tom Quayle and David Beebee guide you step-by-step through the process of visualizing the fretboard using two-point intervallic function shapes - the most powerful and efficient system to visualize anything, anywhere on the guitar.
In addition, the course also provides a highly organised practice plan for working with the Solo - Fretboard Visualization App (iOS). You’ll learn to practice using Solo in exactly the way Tom and David teach their students and use it themselves.
Encompassing 5 hours of tuition, split across 12 sections and 72 videos, Tom and David clearly explain their unique two-point method, and systematically teach how to learn, apply and practice it with the Solo - Fretboard Visualization App (iOS).

The Solo app is truly a game changer!!! I’ve only been using it for a month and it has catapulted my visualization of the fretboard and intervals forward more than any lesson or video I’ve seen. Thank you!!!

Great app and program! 🎉 thanks guys. Loving it

No android?

That's strange. They used to have in the Play Store about a year ago.

Are there a trial version?

😂😂😂 ok... I'm getting old. I need glasses. This thumbnail looked like Tom had an orange Mohawk😂. Told you, I need glasses. If you squint, you might see what I saw. Doubt it tho

Let's see a demo

You can get a picture of the fretboard and onto it you can put letters, or you could pick a root note for one of those letters and put numbers relating to the intervals. That's it. The rest is an exercise in memory, but I'd suggest that you'll see patterns just by studying that picture whilst playing. In the same way that Guthrie Govan learned to play by playing rather than by doing exercises. If Tom knows the fretboard (or any of his peers) they achieved that without the app. I note, for example, I had a great understanding of the notes of the lower part of the fretboard with open strings, perhaps up to the 5th fret on any string I just knew what note it is, I can play something and say the note as I'm playing. Yet higher up he fretboard I didn't know. I could play an Am pentatonic but aside from perhaps knowing the 6th string I wouldn't know the notes without having to pause and think for a second. So I wondered why and I figure this was because for part of the time I played guitar, especially in the first few years of me playing, I'd play simple classical pieces by reading sheet music (which I could already do from other instruments) but that meant I was correlating the notes with was I was playing. I didn't have to sit doing exercises or try to remember, it was just a side effect of learning to play a lot of pieces from sheet music in the open positions. I realise now that I'm less good higher up the fretboard (with the exception perhaps of the lower 2 strings - because we're always finding root notes here for barre chords, and the high e because the high e is the same as the low e and it's free) because most of the playing I did higher up the fretboard was done from tab. With tab you lose all the information about both intervals and notes. Stairway to heaven or whatever was 7 5 5 5 etc. I know it's Am, I could work out what notes I was playing, but I wasn't actually playing either notes or intervals, I was playing a fret number on a numbered string. So it seems obvious to me from that, that the best way of learning the notes on the fretboard is to use the note names. Name the notes when you're playing them somehow - and if you do use tab, use tab with a musical score above it and learn to read both - and whenever you play over a backing track know what chord is playing. This is no different to when you're wanting to improvise to imagine and/or sing what you want to play and then find and play it on the guitar you're not sat there thinking "This a G7 flat 5 sharp 11 so I can play the whole tone altered dominant minor scale which is...." because 5 bars of music have gone past while you were thinking that. Improvisation is about imagining a sound in your head and then playing it and the way to get good at that is to do it badly and slowly at first and keep trying. Similarly, if you name every interval as you play you'll eventually learn these patterns, as part of learning everything else. Most people know the 5th and octave from playing C5 similar chords. But I personally wouldn't waste my time or money on people trying to get you sit shouting things out, Like Beato's performing monkey trick where he gets his son to shout out notes he's playing. That looks impressive but it's not that useful a skill - especially compared with the demonstrable skill of Guthrie Govan of him imagining music in his head and then playing it on the guitar - the latter isn't learnt with an app, it's done by doing the thing - and that thing is playing the guitar which is presumably something that most people who learn the guitar enjoy doing. There's very little reason to spend money on material showing you this because it's not a secret. You wouldn't have this stuff for a piano keyboard because the piano keyboard is visually trivial to learn and remember, but the fact it's a bit more difficult to learn for guitar really doesn't justify apps and adjectives like 'ultimate' and 'incredible' To me it seems a shame that Tom can't find a way to be a professional musician without having to try and flog teaching material that's widely available for free or doing gear reviews (and perhaps that should be food for thought for anyone who wants to learn to play the guitar hoping for a career. If you're hoping to have some kind of career then remember that requires you to play music that has a sizable audience and a degree of popularity - it's really not about how well you can wiggle your fingers or how many notes per second you can play) - but if you're motivated by that fine, at least go in eyes open. See tom trying to flog an app or Hutchins playing in a restaurant where no one is listening and despair. Similarly for this app, if you think it'll help try it, but it's certainly not teaching anything new about the fretboard or music theory and, as I suggest above, if you want to incorporate learning note letters or intervals into your playing then incorporate them - specifically TAB is your enemy here and it's perhaps the reason why some relatively intermediate or advanced guitar players don't know the fretboard because the way we've written music has removed that information.

@@michael1 very informative reply, regarding Tom and his app, it's very helpful for some people and we all have to eat and pay our way, self employed musicians are also small business men and women. Regarding tab you are totally correct it help me but I suppose now I'm reading what your saying it's also trapped me. Im a singer song writer and stared with basic chords, I wrote about 30 or 40 songs, then moved on to major minor 7 and some Barry Harris chords, moving forward I know I have to implement what your saying if I want to keep progressing.

Anyone got an extra apple device I can borrow?

Я придбав цей застосунок, пару днів позаймався і стало не цікаво, а потім я зрозумів, ви зробили цю програму так, щоб музикант самостійно не міг розібратися з тим як з нею працювати і потім випустили курс за 150 доларів. Для мене це задорого і я не зможу собі його купити, шкода, але надія знову перетворилася на заробіток грошей. Хочеш чомусь навчитись- вчись сам, ніхто в цьому світі тобі не допоможе. Шкода, що купив. Знав би - не купував Соло.
