Three Must Have Apps or Software for Guitar Teachers

Anytune

It’s never been a better time to teach guitar. With a wide variety of apps and music software available today, guitar lessons can be more engaging than ever. Here are three apps and/or software I use for every private lesson and group class I teach.

Anytune

Slow-it-down, speed-it-up, loop it, and so much more! Anytune is a must-have app for guitar teachers and serious guitar students. I couldn’t imagine teaching a lesson without it. One of the less known features of Anytune I love is Playlist. If you teach a large number of students with varying levels of skill, ability, and interest, playlists are a great way to keep your lesson material organized.

Available for iOS and Mac OSX. Free for iOS. Price: $29.99 for Mac.

 

Neck Diagrams

With the ability to create professional-looking diagrams for chords, scales, and arpeggios, Neck Diagrams will make your lesson handouts look polished and professional.  It’s also easy to use and sports some cool features like scale generator and the ability to transpose on the spot. While Neck Diagrams is a must-have software for guitar teachers, it’s also suitable for bass, mandolin, and ukulele instructors as well.

Available for Windows and Mac OSX. Free for iOS. Price: $49.99

Drum Beats +

When it comes to playing the guitar, groove is everything! That’s why Drum Beats + is a must-have app for guitar teachers and serious guitar students. It features more than 100 drum beats in a variety of styles including rock, blues, country, world beats, and jazz. In addition, students can learn to play in a variety of time signatures including 4/4, 3/4, & 6/8,

Available for iOS. Price: $3.99. Additional packs range from $1.99 – $5.99.
