Guitarists Groovebox is a souped-up metronome, designed for those who are interested in rock/pop music and learning or teaching guitar or any kind of string or wind instrument. If you are fed up with the boring, sometimes even irritating "tick-tick" sound of a metronome, and want to have an accurate, simple-to-handle rhythm aid, this is the right app for you!
★★★★★ "THIS APP IS GREAT! This simple little app does what it says on the tin. My teaching woes are over. My students get to feel the groove. Well worth the $0.99. Thanks many much!"
Guitarists Groovebox utilizes drum patterns to help keeping tempo while also setting a nice mood for practicing.
In the free version you can use the BASIC groove, which is a common 4/4 beat, suitable for practicing your scales and strumming. With the tempo slider you can easily set the speed from 50 up to 200 BMP while an other slider lets you set a volume to your convenience.
There is also a choice of 6 more, useful grooves (shuffle, latin, waltz, funky, train, swing), all of them tailored to help keeping tempo while practicing your instrument. You can buy these grooves for only $0.99 inApp after sampling them for 10 seconds.
Sidenote: While you can listen to the grooves as-is, we recommend channeling the audio through a set of speakers or earphones, so it will sound as it was meant to.
Please bear in mind that Guitarists Groovebox is not a drum machine, it is not designed for stage or studio work. Instead it is a precisely calibrated, accurate, handy tool for practicing.
