Amped Guitar Learning [iOS App]

App Name: Amped Guitar Learning [iOS App]

Cost: Free for five lessons a day, or $14.99/month or $87.99/year

Developer: Zoundio Oy

App Market: Download Page

Description:

Did you know that 9 out of 10 beginner guitarists quit the first year? It’s just too hard.

And with a declining guitar market, we believe that we can be a part of the solution to turn it around. We are definitely the underdog in comparison to Fender Play and Yousician, but what differentiate us from them is our technology. Our app – which is developed by music teachers – uses Audio Augmented Reality to take away the frustrating parts of learning and stay motivated. That way, they’ll develop and eventually move on to the next guitar, instead of putting their entry-level piece in the garage.
