TabToolkit - iphone 4


 TabToolkit

£5.99/$9.99 Vital for the aspiring guitarist


The internet is awash with free tab files showing you how to play your favourite songs on a guitar, and TabToolkit does a good job of bringing them to life, You transfer tab files to your iPhone via Wi-Fi. TabToolkit does a decent job of displaying plain text tab files, but the fun starts with Guitar Pro and Power Tab ones, which it can play. They contain tab and standard musical notations, and a guitar fretboard or keyboard shows you which frets to finger as the song plays. You can pause to move forward and back, should you need help with the difficult bits, or select a different instrument.

The concept works beautifully on the iPhone - plonk yourself down on the sofa with your guitar and prop the iPhone on a cushion. Being able to loop a section of tab would be welcome, but we're impressed with what we've got already.
