I have acchording but it sucks.

I downloaded ultimate guitar today. It downloads free but then you must pay for content?

I just want a good free one. I don't mind an occasional ad.


ETA I'm a dumbass. Admins please move to music board.

Pilot error.

Ultimate guitar. It's like $7/year. You can afford it.

You mean the soft drink?

The OT is the drug board, so if you meant drugs I was spot on.

I haven't found a song that chords/lyrics/tabs can't be found by googling.

ETA: that sounds funny but you know what I mean

You are correct sir. Hence I don't want to pay for one.

Don't use tabs, they're a crutch. Learn by ear. It's slower, but better.

agree, learn some chords, open and barr, hammer ons, pull offs, pentatonics, then get with someone that's good and is willing to give you some time to show a few tricks and you're on your way

Generally things that are 5-20 years beyond my ability.

Acoustic only.

I have one called Guitar Chords and Tabs. The icon is a green guitar pick. Seems to work pretty good. Got a decent enough database.

you'd be surprised at how simple the majority of that stuff is, usually three chords and one of two progressions for a shite ton of songs

Star Scales Pro is great for me. Not sure if it is still free though. Worth checking out.

A long time ago I may have downloaded OLGA. Let me know if you are interested. It's not an app, but it has the content.

Oh I know.

Marty Schwartz. Check

Justin Guitar. Check.

I even did jam play for a while. Just did not get into it enough to pay for it. I preferred justin guitar. And it is free.

$100 says he can't play at all.

Marty Schwartz is great. Just google song name and either "guitar lesson" or "guitar tab"
