Developer: Willy Maassen
First release : 13 Feb 2018
App size: 23.46 Mb
Each SuperGuitarApp (SGA) contains 8 Apps about guitar issues.
SGA1 is about the guitar fretboard GPS in a way, it was never told/ shown before.
I grew up in the 1960th and played guitar by ear and following my heart.
Then I went to the conservatory and got my degree classical guitar B.
At the same time as my study I started teaching at a music school.
After 43 years of teaching people, to play the guitar and working on the SGAs Im now retired.
Now Im providing my 8 SuperGuitarApps (SGAs) to the AppStore and GooglePlay.
I was working on them even before the internet was there!
If you start working with the 8 SGAs, youll have a better understanding and more butterflies in your stomach, then I had after graduating the conservatory.
The best thing that happened to me is the fact that I finally knew what everything is about.
SGA1 is about:
Naturals and accidentals.
Chromatic and diatonic thinking.
Vibration doublings. (Octaves.)
12 Different tones with 17 names?!?
Open strings, frets, 1 step steps, 2 step steps.
Diatonic steps, chromatic steps.
Staff, lines, spaces, ledger lines, G clef etc.
In the Apps colors are used as in geography.
The colors are not a goal of their own.
The colors will help, to dive levels deeper into the material.
The goal is "The Big Overview."
The knowledge of the 4 main parts of music:
1: Pitch. 2: Length. 3: Strength and 4: Key are brought to you in 4 ways:
1: Theory. 2: Fretboard. 3: Ears and 4: Staff.
This we call The 4 x 4 Story.
There is always a catch with these 4 last ways.
Rules that apply to one approach often do not apply to the other!
Example.

Example.
High for your ears or the staff is nearer to your knee then to your chin on the fretboard.
This is amazing, but good to know.
In these Apps well work with the 4 x 4 Story in our mind.
After opening SGA1 youll find:
1 - The menu with 4 SuperGuitarApps.
2 - A Guided Lesson.
After choosing an App, youll find a menu with:
1 - A video. In this video the material of this app is introduced.
2 - Lessons with the same material as in the video.
This you can do in your own tempo.
3 - The App. You get access to the App, by clicking the button “The App.”
The apps give you the opportunity to practice and master your skills.
4 - An audio button with a jingle.
5 - Back to the menu. This is the header.
In the Apps colors are used as in geography.
The colors are not a goal of their own.
They are a tool.
The colors will give you a hand
The goal is gaining ”The Big Overview" and Never Get Lost On Your fretboard Again!
