For those interested in a more serious way to improve your singing — check out my review of Superior Singing Method. The default recorders on the iPhone and on most Android phones are nice, but lack some key features that this ones have. For simple recordings that are only meant for myself, I use my phone. Especially after you start having a lot of recordings — it's a lot easier to sort them out by folders instead of just by dates — where soon enough your collection becomes a huge mess and you can't find stuff.
Another feature that I like a lot is the ability to record in higher quality wav files — which sound better even through the phone speaker, and especially through headphones. The built-in little condenser microphones in it are great, and you can later grow into it by plugging in even better microphones when your equipment collection becomes richer. Smartly combining your powerful smartphone with your guitar can take you much farther as a musician and at a greater ease, so take advantage of these apps!
I am a huge Apple Music fan, and I like Spotify too, but what matters is — especially as a musician — don't settle for less than these two ways to listen to your favorite music. It's easy to forget to appreciate how these apps changed our lives, by making all the albums that we want to listen to — available at just a couple of touchscreen touches away — and in an excellent sound quality.
And even with the cool cover arts to enjoy. Besides arranging your music library, I also highly recommend letting yourself get lost in the other key feature of these two: the music discovery options that adjusts to your tastes.
Give a chance to the albums and playlist recommendations that these apps make for you. I use the notes app very widely with music. If you don't know Evernote , it is also a very rich notes app and you might like using instead.
I just prefer the original notes app since I find it more intuitive — mostly because it loads up way faster. The phone's video camera… Yep! Some people just don't use it often enough. Especially the 4k camera on the new phones, and the slow-motion options that allow you to later look at the stuff that other guitarists played — and break it down slowly in order to learn it — just like how you would from a record of your favorite guitar hero.
Sometime, if I am seeing some really good guy playing the guitar, a girl singing beautifully or a really special performance in any random show, I take a short vid with my phone to remember and inspire me later for my own ideas or learn it myself, instead of just counting on my memory. That's it for today. Please let us know in the comments about your favorite useful guitar apps and any comments you may have on the apps above!
Drew, a Californian guy I got to jam with in Amsterdam, was playing some really cool blues in a unique swing style.
Thanks to the quick video that I took, it was easy for me to recall his style and practice it myself later. Hey there! Originally I am from Tel Aviv, Israel. I hope I can be a helpful friend on your musical journey. Email optional. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
