Great but now we want more Add more. Maybe specific riffs from well know metal songs and artists. Modularity to load up the items you want and allow picking some to keep in memory and then load others minimizing memory used.

Great guitar app Great for learning after playing jazz and blues all my life I wanted to learn how to play some metal I had the speed but now thanks to this app I have the know how.
★★★★★Terry Trezner· Aug 4, 2016
Great app I've been looking for apps like this for a long time, but they're hard to find. This one is really good, I recommend it for sure........ Countless hours of practice, and I still suck at sweep picking:(
★★★★★Javo Quintero· Mar 31, 2019
Very straightforward, if you are focused you can achieve what you expect. I suck a little less since I took the time to practice a few of these licks.

Speed settings would be nice. It would be nice to be able to set the speed of the licks, or have at least 2 different speed, like in your other apps, where in the second round a slower speed allows learning the licks and comparing the own sound to the original. Here only one simple speed of the licks, which makes the licks impressive, but not creative. (Kind of musical masturbation on the strings, just by increasing the speed.) Even so, in an app with the aim to learn and practice a lick, the licks should be adjustable to a slower tempo

I bought this app, but it does not want to copy over to my new phone. What is the procedure for doing this?
