About this app

Learn guitar theory through interactive lessons, challenges, and ear training that actually stick.
Cadence helps you understand the fretboard, hear the music, and play with more creativity and confidence through visuals, sound, and smart repetition.

- Interactive Lessons
Structured 5 to 10 screen lessons combine visual fretboard diagrams and audio playback to make complex theory intuitive. Learn chords, scales, intervals, and progressions step by step without dry textbooks.

- Intuitive Recaps
Each lesson ends with a single-page flashcard recap that condenses all key concepts for quick, visual review. Perfect for short practice sessions or refreshing theory on the go.

- Playful Challenges
Turn theory into a game. Practice with theory, visual, and audio challenges that increase in difficulty as you improve. Earn trophies, build streaks, and train your brain and fingers to think musically.

- Ear Training
Sharpen your musical intuition through sound-backed lessons and dedicated audio challenges that teach you to recognize intervals, chords, scales, and progressions by ear.

- Progress Tracking
Stay motivated with daily activity reports, streaks, and global completion tracking. See your growth clearly and stay focused on your goals.

- Complete Guitar Library
Explore a vast collection of more than 2000 chords, scales, arpeggios, and progressions. Includes CAGED, 3NPS, and octave patterns with optional voicing suggestions to help you master the fretboard.

great content, great presentation, great training method. I could only wish for some spaced repetition based review, but that would be a cherry on top. the reasonable lifetime price is a nice touch too.

Thanks a lot for the review and feedback! I have a "gauntlet" feature in mind that I might implement in the future. It would be some kind of longer challenge in between levels with random questions from all the levels before. Hopefully that would cover your need for "spaced repetition", feel free to reach out if you have any specific ideas :)

I love the app, but please offer more free lessons, more free lessons... I understand you want profit, but maybe make it possible to watch ads to get lessons...

Hi Carola, Thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry but I really hate apps with ads so I won't be putting any into mine. The lifetime option is at $30/€35 which is roughly the cost of a 1 hour lesson with a real teacher. I hope you can still find some value in the library and beginner lessons if you stay on the free version! Kind regards, Antoine

I got to know about this app from the dev himself on reddit. At the first sight I was sure that this app won't have any ads. I went over the first few lessons and am sure that someone who wants to learn the theory would actually learn it. It's so detailed and the effort put into creating it is clearly visible. I aim to learn Barre chords with this app and I think it will help me reach my goal. I'll soon buy the subscription or one time payment for going through the premium lessons.
