Guitar Beats: Chords & Tabs

🎸 A real guitar in your pocket — strum, learn and share!

Guitar Beats turns your phone or tablet into a guitar with the sound of real recorded instruments. Strum chords with one swipe, play on a real fretboard, learn songs with tabs, tune your own guitar with the microphone and share your music as a video.

🎵 REAL GUITAR SOUNDS
• Acoustic steel-string, classical nylon, electric clean, overdrive, bass guitar and ukulele
• Softer swipes sound softer and warmer, faster swipes ring brighter
• Strings ring and choke like on a real guitar
• Capo (up to 7 frets) and reverb

🎶 CHORDS SCREEN
• 8 chord pads with chord diagrams: tap a pad to strum it, or swipe across the 6 strings like with a pick
• Ready-made chord sets: Pop, Campfire, Rock power chords, Blues, Minor, Folk, Jazzy 7ths
• Long-press any pad to pick another chord: major, minor, 7th, maj7, m7, sus2, sus4, power, dim — in every key
• Chord shapes adapt to the instrument: guitar, ukulele or bass

🎸 FRETBOARD SCREEN
• Play single notes on 12–15 frets, slide along a string, play open strings
• Strum the sound hole with your fingers on the frets
• See any chord shape on the neck, show note names, left-handed mode
• Note names in C D E or Do Re Mi

📖 LEARN SONGS WITH TABS
• Melodies: fret numbers scroll towards the line above the neck and the right fret lights up — Ode to Joy, Greensleeves, Canon in D, Für Elise, Auld Lang Syne, Happy Birthday and more
• Chord songs: learn the chord changes of Amazing Grace, House of the Rising Sun, Oh! Susanna, a 12-bar blues and more
