Nowadays music and games are some of the most popular hobbies that people of all ages choose as spare time activities. If we take a look over some statistic numbers, we will find out that one third of the EU and US population at some point in their lives try to learn to play an instrument, and almost 30% of them study guitar. Using the latest technology available Ovelin has developed a guitar learning solution that includes a guitar tuner as well.

For those passionate about music, regardless of age, Ovelin has created an entertaining method for guitar learning. Mainly, it is an application that can be downloaded on your iPad and it is a game that will use your guitar as a game controller. There won’t be any need for you to invest in other devices or adapters, because this guitar learning solution will use the microphone that is incorporated in the iPad to recognize the chords you played. The same technology was used to develop the guitar tuner as well.

It has been shown that 85% of those who try to learn to play the guitar quit in the early stages of the learning process. The greatest advantage provided by the guitar learning solution created by Ovelin is that, being a game, it is an interactive, challenging and entertaining way of learning to play the guitar. The game is named Wild Chords and it places the player, in the middle of a chaos provoked by the animals that escaped from the zoo. The purpose is to tame the wild animals using music.

Wild Chords is a game that draws the attention of beginner learners regardless of age because it enables the player to motivate himself or herself. The player will receive feedback and he or she will be able to evaluate and improve constantly his or her guitar playing skills. As compared to other guitar learning solutions such as self teaching books and DVDs, this game has demonstrated to be a much more effective learning solution, because it motivates the learner to practice more and because it combines music with other entertainment means.

Both the game and the guitar tuner use the same technology, namely the built-in microphone available on the iPad, this is why they are easy to use and they are designed for acoustic as well as for electric six-string guitars and they are as user friendly as any other application available on the App Store.

Before proceeding with the first guitar lesson the beginner learner is not required to have any previous knowledge about guitar playing. He or she should use the guitar tuner to tune the guitar and then the application will analyze the sounds and it will indentify if the chord was pressed correctly. The game will help the learner to improve his or her skills because the players are allowed to repeat the same notes many times until they get them right and they gather points which are used to pass to the next level that is obviously a more difficult one.

If music is your passion and you are interested in guitar learning you should check the solution provided by Ovelin and you will discover how to use easily the free guitar tuner.
