Best Realistic Guitar App – PocketGuitar - Virtual Guitar in Your Pocket Review

Easily the best and most realistic guitar app on the App Store for the past many years. I see a lot of reviews expecting this to be a toy or game app. There are already a lot of those apps on the market, where you play a guitar hero-type game and play along with a song or solely an image of a guitar and you tap on the strings and they automatically play chords for you. This is app DOES NOT do this. This app is a guitar simulator. I even saw reviews with 1 star stating that "this app is broken, you press on a fret and it just mutes it"... If you have ever played a real guitar, strum it, and then lightly tap on the strings... Well they are muted. Anyways, this app is wonderful. Obviously fret/screen size is an issue, so you cannot play a song that is all over the fret-board. But I can play many songs, all the way through, with fairly good accuracy with this app and I definitely get a similar feeling to playing real guitar. It's great for plucking out chords or playing with simple melodies or scales. The honest truth: it's a great guitar simulator trying to deal with screen real-estate problems and you pretty much HAVE to be able to play guitar to use this app because it's truly a guitar simulator.
