David Mead : Guitar Gym for Android
'David Mead : Guitar Gym' is the latest app from David Mead, guitarist, teacher and author of the best-selling Guitar Workout books. The 'David Mead : Guitar Gym' is filled with the most effective guitar practice exercises to develop your technique and turn you into a better guitar player. Create your own daily routine to hone your skills and improve your playing.
The 60 exercises are split into five categories, each containing three levels of difficulty. The categories cover Warm-Ups, Co-ordination, Ear Training, Stamina and Rhythm, but all will test your left and right hand capabilities to the limit.
You can design your own custom workout by taking one exercise from each category to practise every day.
You can hear the exercises in advance and play along using the tab player and there's an adjustable metronome to keep you rhythmically on track.
There's a timer, too, to make sure you perform each exercise for the full two minutes. You can keep a record and view stats for each exercise to help track your progress.
"However you use the 'David Mead : Guitar Gym' app, I hope you see the benefits in your playing soon!" - David Mead, Sep 201
I have had a couple of David Mead's 'guitar gym' books for years so was interested to see what this app had to offer. There's a few small bugs but it's a useful addition to the practice regime. Once the glitches are fixed it'll be excellent
Perfect for newcomers and experienced players, providing a focused work out for your playing skills.
As a beginner, I really like how this app is laid out nicely with the "pick from each category" feature. I guess this is more finger exercises. A similar app on the market offers scales and finger exercises plus licks and chord change exercises. It would be nice to see similar features to expand this app.

Everything about this application shows David's attention to detail. My only suggestion is for a landscape mode for tablets.
