Check out the promotional video here! To download the app specifically for iPad click the link here to go to the iTunes store.

I am also pleased to announce that after much demand, the app has now also been released for mac desktop! To download, click the link here to go to the Mac App Store.

There are plans to release this app for the PC platform very soon, more news to follow…

Featuring over 50 exercises, 20 high quality video demonstrations and over 25,000 words of detailed explanations including a section on how to practice along with all relevant theory, this app covers the legato, two-handed tapping, alternate picking and sweeping techniques – an essential resource for all students and fans of legendary modern rock players such as Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Tony Macalpine, Jason Becker, John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert.

Featuring a fully interactive interface with all the practice tools you need, including a metronome, timer, looper, tablature and video player. There is also a dedicated practice section where you can save your favourites, and start building your own custom routines based on your goals and available practice time.

Unique scale generators present both the 7-position/3-notes-per-string scale forms, as well as the more traditional 5-position or CAGED/EDCAG system. With a host of interactive on-screen buttons to switch from position to position, or to view any position from any modal perspective, all scale and arpeggios are viewable either as note names, intervals or fingerings. The layered design of the CAGED system generators will enable you to toggle through, clearly seeing the chord/scale relationships, as well as easily identifying the additional modal notes within the familiar pentatonic frameworks.

Aimed at intermediate to advanced students and players who are looking to develop and maintain their technical skills and knowledge within the modern rock style, this app presents a progressive roadmap with advanced concepts approached by building key underlying skills.

Take your playing to the next level with Modern Rock Guitar – the most comprehensive lead guitar course out there.

Martin Goulding to release Modern Rock/Metal App for iPad http://martingoulding.com/martin-goulding-to-release-modern-rockmetal-app-for-ipad/ http://martingoulding.com/martin-goulding-to-release-modern-rockmetal-app-for-ipad/#comments Tue, 27 Aug 2013 15:22:12 +0000 admin http://martingoulding.com/?p=908 After finishing a year’s worth of work for Guitar World magazine in December 2012, writing the monthly “Last Licks” column which i enjoyed (special thanks to Jeff Kitts and all at the magazine), i decided to take a break to concentrate on some other projects and was soon approached by Leafcutter Studios with a view to producing a modern-rock/metal course/app especially for the Apple iPad format. No detail has been spared in presenting an effective and comprehensive course-like structure to this app, with over 25,000 words of technical and theoretical explanations for 20 full practice routines (each routine divided into 3 exercises) along with audio demonstrations, and with 20 corresponding licks presented in HD video. The licks are supported by a set of bespoke rock/metal/neo-classical style backing tracks. The app is interactive with full control over tempo and with a tab player that features a sample library recorded using my Ibanez J Custom J CRG-2 TB!. On the diagramatic side of things, all scales and modes are interactive and accessible in both the 5-postion (or CAGED/EDCAG!) system as well as the 7-position 3-notes-per-string format and with various toggles to switch from position to position or to view any position from any modal perspective. This has been a 6 month project and is based around my experience specialising in teaching the modern rock style over the last 20 years or so and with routines that are tried and tested in the field! If you are at an intermediate to advanced level and are looking for a complete course in developing the modern rock/metal style with in depth sections on the legato technique, 2 hand tapping, sweeping and alternate picking techniques along with the musical application of these techniques, then this course will systematically and progressively build your skill set. An essential educational aid for all guitar students and players who are looking to reach a higher level with their rock playing incorporating techniques and improvisational concepts in the style of the great modern rock/metal players including Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Randy Rhoads, Warren DeMartini, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Tony Macalpine, Jason Becker, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Reb Beach and Joe Satriani. More news soon!
