★ GERMANY ★

- Die Aufmachung und Bedienung der App sind sehr gelungen. Die Inhalte wurden knapp aber gut verständlich aufbereitet, Ton und Video sind dabei. An sich eine tolle Sache.
Einziger Wermutstropfen ist die Lesbarkeit der Noten auf dem kleinen Display, das ist nicht wirklich komfortabel.

- Dieses App ist zwar eher für den vortgeschrittenen Gitarristen aber für die, die in den Jazz einsteigen wollen ein echter Tipp. Das Lehrmaterial wird sehr knapp aber vollständig dargestellt. Die Videos sowie Tabs sind echt eine Hilfe.
Ohne Zusatztheorie (Harmonielehre) geht's nicht - aber trotzdem habe ich keine Idee wie man noch was verbessern könnte.
Tolles App.
