Practice Your Electric Guitar on an Iphone

July 8, 2010

Are you looking for a way to practice your electric guitar on the road without having to lug an amp and effects pedals around? The iRig by AmpliTube ($39.99) allows you to plug your electric guitar directly into your iPhone. You can also run a separate jack to a pair of headphones so that you can practice quietly in a hotel room. Plug into some speakers or a mixer for a more portable effects setup. With their free AmpliTube app you can add the sound of three different stomp boxes and a guitar amp and cabinet. The LE version and Full version offer even more settings.

Tune All Your Strings at Once!

June 3, 2010

in uncategorized

Or more accurately, strum all your strings and instantly find out which ones are out of tune. The PolyTune by TC Electronic bills itself as a revolutionary new way to tune your guitar. You strum your guitar once and the readout will display which strings are out of tune. You can then tune those strings individually with a more traditional display. You can check out a lengthy review of the PolyTune here. This actually does appear to be a timesaver but will set you back around $100. If you don’t perform onstage much or don’t want to spend the dough, they’ve also released a free Polytune iPhone App. There are two videos below. The first is a demonstration of the pedal by a dude with a sweet Danish? accent that will give you a good idea of how the PolyTune works. The second video shows the iPhone App in action.

iPhone meets the Guitar

March 25, 2008

in guitar links, uncategorized

First we have an iPhone guitar tuner web app. Which basically works more like a tuning fork than a tuner. But I guess in a pinch this could come in handy outdoors somewhere.

We came across the next video thanks to iphonenewsblog. There’s apparently a web app for the iPhone that simulates a guitar. You get all six string and a few frets to play with. You use one hand to simulate strumming or plucking and the other hand to fret the notes. It even can simulate slides.
