Introduction

The Video Guitar Lessons, Backing Tracks, Tuner, & Chords Chords app can be used on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad so that you can learn in the comfort of your own home and for free. Unlike other lesson-based apps you aren’t just given the first exercise for free and then required to pay for the rest: all the lessons are free here.
