Guitar Tools is an application specially designed for guitarists, which will allow you to access in a much easier way to the chords and scales, through a series of graphics that shows the strings that should be played at every moment. Especially if you are getting familiar with this instrument, you can be entirely sure that it will be of enormous help when learning to synchronize your mind and fingers.

But this platform is not only in charge of teaching you which chords and scales you must follow, but it also plays the sound that corresponds to each of those movements and does it employing a MIDI synthesizer. The exciting thing about it is that we can feel how we learn as we practice, as other programs remain only in the image, and it's a shame.

One of the most exciting features of this program is that it allows us to select or customize the type of use we want to give it. We can choose between eight different types of guitars according to our needs. So, if you want an acoustic guitar with nylon strings or also an electric guitar, you will be able to choose it and adapt it precisely to the type of instrument you want to learn to play.

Continuing with the features of this program, we must say that it tells us, as we advance, which are the diatonic scales, or how to play them, always using the strings. Its built-in metronome, which we can adjust to suit better the experience we are looking for, allows us to set details such as the beats per minute. If you have professional knowledge, you can take advantage of these possibilities.

Once you're familiar with the simple chords, you'll see images or graphics of much more complex chords appear, and you'll be able to visualize them on the neck, elevating your practice to the level of a pro. And besides, you don't need to know solfège to learn the different positions of each chord, so the assistance offered by this platform is practically total, much more complete than other similar ones.

Not only that, but Guitar Tools also has an integrated tuner that accepts loops always to get the best possible sound from your guitar, emulating the same drawbacks that can present a physical format, of course. If you have a guitar gathering dust somewhere at home, you can be sure that this platform will give you a hand in your first familiarization with it.

We should point out, at this point, that the Guitar Tools interface is in English, although, as is usually the case with programs that are more technical than anything else, this does not cause too much inconvenience. We recommend that, if you are not very used to the terminology of the music world, you keep a tab with Google open in the background to guide you better.

If, instead of the guitar, you want to learn how to play the bass, you should know that you will also find all the information and assistance for this instrument, so it is software that can be of enormous use to more than one member of your band. Things work similarly for the bass when we talk about the guitar, with the graphics and chords system you must follow to know all its tricks.

As for the interface, something that we always like to analyze when we talk about Windows programs, we have to say that it is very well done since the graphics are helpful and can be seen without other objects interfering. Besides, it is possible to find a perfect organization of all the contents; generally, the details are well taken care of. This is another positive point when talking about Guitar Tools.

Before closing the analysis, it should be noted that Guitar Tools is a service that hardly has any weight, so we can install it on any computer that does not have too much power, even a laptop. In the same way, because of this quality, it is possible to carry it on any USB storage device and run it on your computers if you want to use several for your practices during the day or week.

When installing and running it on our computer, we have verified that it is a perfectly stable software, which does not make errors or crashes to be regretted when we are in the middle of a practice. On the other hand, all the actions that we have executed have been done in a matter of seconds, as well as the change from one instrument to another or from one type of guitar to another. That is to say; we do not have too many harmful elements to bring up when making a summary.

In summary, we can say that Guitar Tools is a tool that becomes almost essential for any user who wants to start practicing with a guitar at home; being a platform with integrated graphics to assist us in each of our movements and that reproduces the same sounds as the instrument so that you can be entirely sure that you are succeeding in your practices.
