About this app
Learn the notes of the guitar by playing them. Note Blaster hears you play. Point your phone at your guitar, pluck the note on screen, and it fires — detected from the real sound of your guitar, not a button tap. Can't get to your instrument? Tap the fretboard instead — both ways always work. You have three lives and must destroy 30 notes per level. Miss too many and it's game over. Note Blaster teaches the notes of the guitar one string at a time, starting with the 1st string (E, F, G) and working across the fretboard until you know it all — while blowing up notes to a bluesy backing track. WHAT'S NEW IN 2.3: • Calmer microphone — voices and room noise no longer cost you lives • MIDI light and level bar show your keyboard or MIDI guitar is connected and working • MIDI notes play a guitar-like sound on your iPad • Fewer stray notes from MIDI guitars after a correct answer FEATURES: • HOW TO READ guide: tap any fret and see where that note sits on the staff, with the Every Good Banana Drives Ferraris and FACE memory aids (sight reading made simple) • MIDI mode: plug in a USB MIDI keyboard or MIDI guitar and play the notes directly • Mic mode: play real notes on a real guitar, the app hears you • Acoustic mode for quiet, unplugged guitars in noisy rooms • Learn guitar notes step by step, one string at a time — fretboard trainer and ear training in one game • Practice area to study notes before you play • Three difficulty modes: Easy, Intermediate, and Hard • Session Mode — a teacher picks the notes, a student plays a mini-game, results save automatically (built for guitar teachers and their students) • Note Movement — choose Step, Step & Leap, or free Random note order for interval training within a session • Session Scoreboard — every student's practice history at a glance, including which note-movement mode was used • Local high score leaderboard Whether you're teaching yourself or teaching a room full of students, Note Blaster turns learning the fretboard into something you actually want to play.
