Mobile Apps for Guitarists


Frankly, I don't know of any mobile app for guitar which caters to all of my needs. But things are improving slowly and there are quite a few apps which are useful enough. Here's a list of a few mobile apps for the guitarists among you. Note that, not all of them are freeware and they don't support all models of handset. Check out the product homepage links for supported handset and other info. Also if you are looking for guitar softwares to use on your computer look here , here  and here
Maestro
Maestro has been designed as a easy to use tool for musicians. It can provide a single tuning note, a tuning tool for instruments (Violin, Viola, `Cello, Guitar, Concert A, Middle C, B flat, E flat) and a Metronome [32-250 bpm, with 1-9 beats per bar (measure)]

Chord Maestro
It can be used for learning chords, writing songs, looking up those more exotic chords, training the ear, and many more things. And best of all it runs on your mobile phone, so you can bring it along anywhere you go! 

GuitarTuner

I made a little mobile guitar site for www.howtotuneaguitar.org, it has thousands of chords and standard tuning notes for reference tones that can be used on any phone that can surf the net.

Check out www.howtotuneaguitar.org on a mobile device.

Wordpress publishes people who link to my site - that is how I found it. So I saw that article first.

Sorry, thought I would be clearer.
