About Solo

UPDATE: The original Solo has been replaced by Solo 2. However, many previous customers who already bought it had trouble finding Solo again in the Play Store, so I decided to re-publish it.

Solo has been Android's most popular pocket guitar for many years running and continues to bring the joys of this fine instrument to the masses. With Solo you can play to your favourite songs, or create some of your own. It's ideal for jamming sessions when you don't have your guitar with you, or an excellent reference for when you do!

Features include:
* Classical guitar, acoustic guitar and electric guitars, each with authentic sound
* A huge chord library with chord diagrams - hear and see how each chord is played.
* Create your own chords
* Play along to any music loaded on your phone
* Record what you play
* Get chord and lyric overlays from the web - excellent for teaching yourself new songs to play (this feature is provided via a free add-on app)
* Play with a capo to fit your vocal range
* Create, load and save chord layouts for your favourite songs
* Customize the UI to fit your playing style
* Uses Immersion’s MOTIV haptic effects for advanced haptic feedback

Like the app. The amount of options and frills are amazing. I like exploring all the different alternatives in this app. However, I've experimented myself into a corner and can't get the app back to the original settings. Is there an option for this and I just haven't found it???

L70%

Before I upgraded I was able to play songs with ease on my HTC Thunderbolt. I now realize that regardless of animations being turned off and audio engine selection, the interface is now plagued with lags, missed notes, and slow framework.

I am able to store chords but for some reason it's like there's a dead spot on my HTC One screen when I try to recall a set of chords, therefore I cannot use the app in performance because I can't be fiddling around trying to recall chords when it works like 1% of the time.

Awesome guitar app. updates regularly & productively. If you've seen the rest, now try the best. this app has improved so much since I 1st installed it. All the updates I've installed are productive & useful in the real world. It just keeps getting better & better. This last update now allows recording, awesome. Watch the attached youtubes to see what this can do in the hands of the developer. He knows it well enough to maximize it's full potential. Sincerely, William McDonald S4 I9500 (Rooted)

Long time user here. This app was always a lot of fun to play with on my past 2 droids, loved to show it off to my musician friends. With my new LG G4, it takes forever to load chord changes and crashes frequently when switching between functions. Crashes reported. ***developer responded immediately with a fix (settings/audio engine/select #2)***

I am also getting the missed strums on s4 ,I never had any problems before the update I wish we could get a different overlay other than ultimate-guitar which seems to freeze up and just say sign in to membership. Overlay sucks more options on paid version please.

The app is great. I have been using this app for probably a year before buying. Finally, I bought it and I couldn't be happier. I like to play individual frets and noticed that it was not remembering my fret range. I was able to VERY easily send the developer an email from within the application (while still fresh in my mind). The Coding Caveman replied promptly with a professional, courteous email and included my request in this latest version! Thanks Caveman!!

Note: took very long time (minutes) "loading chords" on nexus 7 w Android 5.0.3, with Audio Engine 3 selected. To fix, wait it out, and then switch to #2. Review:Very nice. Clicks on nylon string sound in older versions are fixed; it now sounds like it really needs new strings though.

Had the lite version of this app and decided to go for the Pro version to add more features and remove the adds. I'm very pleased and want to thank the developer(s). Don't really understand all the negative comments as the app is flawless. If you have a low end smart phone and software issues then the app shouldn't be on your handset or the negative comments.

Wtf happened? Used 2 luv it, it was user friendly, I could set chords for a song then go 2 the guitar & play the song; now it's gone crazy! Started out only playing E flat, wouldn't let me add chords, then after exiting & returning, it had some fret range thing to set but wouldn't set in the "free version". I purchased it on another phone, and it says purchased when I search playstore, but then it says install on the page. Is all this because I need to install it? Will I get charged again?

Can't hammer on / pull off strings, making it feel more like a keyboard than a stringed instrument, if playing an open E string than pressing & holding the third fret G it continues to play E note regardless making it impossible to actually play it like a guitar, changing chords with any speed is impossible as the app cant keep up, slides/bends/vibrato also non existent, still along way to go before remotely emulating a guitar

Best guitar app period. It produces the most accurate reprodution of guitar tones in any guitar app to date. It is well worth purchasing the upgrade. I have it on my Galaxy S5 and 10.1 Pad. Thank you for producing this must have guitar app! .

I have string animations on so from visual feedback I know my touches are registering. Just no sound is produced sometimes, usually when strumming across several notes. Nexus 5, 4.4.2 | UPDATE: Thanks for the reply, dev. Audio Engine 1 works; I wouldn't have thought to try it given the mismatch between its in-app description and my device...

I really want to use the overlay feature to see chord music while I play, but it keeps crashing when I press Use Overlay button. Edit: Guitar Solo update 5/18/2014: It doesn't crash anymore when I use the overlay feature, but I can't scroll the overlay. When I press Use Overlay on the certain section of the webpage I want to overlay, it overlays the top-left corner of the webpage, and I can't scroll it after overlaying.
