Good practice tool

I have played guitar for many years, and always used TABS and chords to figure them out. Now I am ready to advance to sight reading and wish I had done this when I first began. This little tool is very handy for drilling the notes on the fret board. In a few minutes, I had improved my knowledge noticeably. Its easy to understand, and, given the constraints on my iPod (small screen and big clumsy fingers), is well designed.

Only dificulty is that when designating a note, you must touch the close to the fret rather than area behind the fret where my finger would actually land when playing the note. The point where the app decides which fret you are designating seems to be halfway between frets and when I touch where my finger would really land, it could select the fret above or below. This isnt too dificult to get the hang of . . . . and not a deal killer for me deciding to buy this.

Its not loaded down with fancy features and does what its supposed to do. Its a great application to hone skills while waiting at the dentist, airport, or on a break at the office. Others my argue that it might not be worth the 2.99 that I paid, but for me, it is a bargain. Heck, I would have thrown in another penny to make it an even $3.00. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is just a tool and I dont want to mislead others into thinking this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
