6 music smartphone apps recommended for jazz guitar lovers!

All of the smartphone apps introduced here are the ones I usually use.
There are some similar apps, but I have carefully selected the ones that can really be used by comparing them all.
The first one is ... Tuner Lite.

1. Tuner Lite

As the name suggests, it is an app that allows you to tune with your smartphone. I feel that it is a really convenient time.
There are quite a lot of tuner apps, but this "Tuner Lite" is characterized by high tuning accuracy.
I also like the good visibility because the screen is very simple. The tuner is easy to see and is useful!
Besides, since the hertz can be changed, it is also possible to tune for various music genres. However, since the sound is picked up by the microphone of the smartphone, it is difficult to tune in a noisy place. It is a convenient app to install for the time being in case you forget your tuner during live performances or practice.

2. Smart Metronome

The most installed free metronome app in Japan. It's free with all this quality!?? It's a simple and easy-to-use app.
Aside from those who already have a metronome, those who don't may not need to buy a metronome with this app ...
As a writer, my favorite point is that I can choose between metronome tones!
The wood sound is especially good because it is a jarring tone that does not interfere with practice.

3. iReal Pro

It's a very popular paid music app that all jazz musicians know. To put it simply, the app function is that it allows you to play huge jazz standards minus one!
It's so convenient it’ll bring tears to your eyes.
In the case of the author, I’m at the point where I cannot practice without this app.

The following 6 features summarize iReal Pro.

How is that?
If you really want to play jazz guitar, I think this is a god app that you definitely want to buy. Currently (August 2020), you can download it for 1720 yen.

4. mimiCopy

The essential thing in learning jazz guitar is copying by ear. By listening to it with your ears, copying the guitar phrases and chords, and "trying to use" them in practice many times, the sound becomes your own blood.
This app is a convenient paid app that makes the work of copying by ear easier.
Very easy to use!
All you have to do is import the MP3 data of the song you want to copy into the app. You can play slowly with just one tap.
Of course, double-speed playback is also possible, so it's perfect for practicing fast tempos. In particular, I think there are two good points about "mimiCopy"!
It’s "clear sound quality" and "easy to rewind to the phrase you want to copy by ear".
Regarding rewinding, you can easily rewind 5 seconds back, 10 seconds back, 15 seconds back with a single tap, so I think the good point is that you don't know how far you should rewind.

5. Jazz Radio

If you like jazz, I think it's worth putting it on your smartphone. It's a nice app that allows you to listen to a variety of jazz for free!
It's easy to use, just select the program of the genre you want to listen to. It is attractive to listen to various genres of jazz such as vocals, instrumental music, bebop, and bossa nova.
If you want to improve your jazz, you will need to listen to and absorb various genres of jazz.

6. Shazam

Shazam is a convenient music app that listens to the music played on the radio and TV when you are in the city and "tell you what artist and what song". It's an app with an interesting idea.
The artist's songs you listen to will also provide links to the Apple Store and Spotify. There are so many jazz songs playing in cafes, and it eliminates the sickness of "Isn’t this a cool song? But who is it?!?"
Of course, it listens to music other than jazz, and it teaches instrumental songs, so it's a really useful app. For those who always have a music antenna sticking in the air, I think it will be useful to install it!
