Mono Guitar Free

The Mono guitar is a fun piece of software, a playable guitar that really works.

Plays a single note at a time, one handed. With a little practise, you'll soon be able to get some tunes out of it.

Mono Guitar Free comes with three different sounds, clean, dirty and distortion. You can noodle and riff to your hearts content.

One finger power chords have been added to the latest release, now you can jam with friends.

Use string bends and slides to enhance your playing.

Includes a resizeable 5 fret window (select resize from the menu), the software tries to provide a reasonable sized fretboard for any device, but you can also change it in the menu, just click resize and drag to the size you want.

22 frets are covered in groups of 5, plus half a fret below to allow the zero fret to be played instead of open strings, and sliding into notes.

Long touch the yellow bar then slide to change the fret position.

You can choose to play left handed and the layout will be reversed.

Sorry no shredding, the technology is just not up to it yet!.

The app is aware of different sized devices and tries to position itself so that it is in the easiest position to play. If it doesn't seem correct on your device, please let us know and we will do our best to make it work for you.

For those having trouble with it, it's a monophonic instrument on a touch screen so you need to lift your fingers once the note has finished, more like playing a keyboard, otherwise other notes will not sound.

Please be aware that this app is unlikely to perform satisfactorily on a tablet device due to the distance from the edge of the device to the screen making it an unnatural playing position. Also because of the diversity of screens in use on Android devices some may not respond sufficiently quickly or accurately.

Requires a minimum 320x480 screen.

If you encounter problems with the app, by all means leave comments, but just saying that it is Rubbish does not give us much to work on to improve it. Please let us know what device it isn't working correctly on and an idea of the problem. We may be able to do something about it.

Better still write to us directly so we can get to the bottom of it.

It is not a 'feel good' app, it won't make you sound like Eric unless you can already play guitar like Eric!

Check out my youtube video, just a touch of reverb added to the mix.
