Pros and cons of Matt Warnock Guitar 251 Chords app for iPhone and iPad

Matt Warnock Guitar 251 Chords app good for

and create real jazz harmonies. Whats good is that you have the keys to successful jazz in one app.
Much more than just a chord dictionary, a really excellent jazz guitar learning tool. Very clearly thought out and presented, with a great systematic approach. I plan to work with it for a few weeks, following the great practice tips, and see no reason not to be a more interesting player at the end of it. For the price ,its like buying a course 2 or 3 focuses lessons from a top player. Well done and thanks.
...however I seem to be having frequent crash issues unfortunately.
This is a great app for anyone who wants to build a solid ground on jazz harmony. Keep up Matt and add new features covering other topics, too! Thanks
Very useful and informative! In the past I was unable to get certain jazz qualities of chords from other guitar apps, but this one has it all! Great Stuff!!
For the guitarist trying to get his ears and hands together this app is better then any number of 100000000 chord books youd find at your local music store.

Some bad moments

This the dream app for guitarists! Matt Warnock, already established as one of the best international teachers, has really provided serious guitarists with an easy to use app that will take their playing to new levels. I cant say enough about how well thought out and comprehensive it is. Enjoy - I sure am!
I have a 2-5-1 practice tool in any key with varying extensions in my phone! LOVE!
Matt Warnock has put together an amazing teaching tool filled with some theory that precedes the lessons. As a beginning jazz guitar student, this app is an ideal teaching and practice partner.
Intervals and fingering for each inversion. Standard grips for each chord, and a nice practice mode. It definitely helps you get inversions under your fingers, which in turn helps your playing sound more hip.
Very very cool and well made app. Great for remembering your drop chords, and for practicing over the chord changes.
Wow, Matt really put a lot of work and expertise into this. The design and layout are simple and top-notch, all of his explanations are both theoretically extensive and well taught, the app works great and isnt glitchy and the 251 generator is brilliant!! This is really going to take my comping to the next level. Thanks so much for a great app!
