DifficultFeature RequestsUpdates
I have been enjoying Fender Play for some time now. I like the large number and variety of songs and riffs it offers. There are a number of Live programs featuring players who discuss interesting topics related to playing guitar. I also appreciate the inclusion of Bass and Ukulele. I play ukulele, and while I don’t play bass these lessons help me better understand rhythm. Some lessons feature a simplified version of songs. That’s helpful, but I wish the lesson would also include the original version. The teachers do a great job of counting notes to help in playing songs. I do wish there was an option to include notation as well as tablature. While I can easily find songs, I sometimes have difficulty navigating the menu. Finally, Fender Play offers a great way to preview the vast lineup of instruments Fender has to offer. All in all, Fender Play is a very good learning platform.

What’s to like so far (a few weeks in), for guitar only? Instructors speak clearly and visuals that accompany them are usually really good. As an example, seeing front and top views of the fretboard while they play really helps one see where the fingers go when. Also great is the review function, I don’t love turning my phone’s mic on for apps, but this is great that it listens and grades you, so use it. Use of tablature is welcome as well as the scrolling chords by name. Strum along in time. Some things that seem off? Settings for “counting in” happen with some types of exercises but not others, regardless of the settings I change. Also, the measures themselves in certain exercises aren’t physically/visually the same width so the time keeping aspect “speeds up” and “slows down” in an odd way. I know even sheet music sometimes doesn’t stay consistent- but for learning purposes it does make it harder to keep a consistent pace. I understand price and value are highly variable-this is the most expensive app I have purchased on my phone. Also, I did try to use the Fender purchasing discount at a dealer and they had never heard of it-so maybe spreading that good word would be a good thing to save us some money supporting Fender. Over all a great app that I hope keeps me growing my skills for a long time to come.

AudioCameraFeature RequestsLove it
As an adult learner I have found the fender app/website to be extremely useful. I can play it on any device i have and the video/audio quality is never subpar. That means i can take my guitar anywhere and play lessons from my phone, which is helpful when I have a bit of free time in between the events in my day. The instructors and instructions are clear and I like the fact they show a variety of camera angles when teaching chords and techniques. Best of all, I can revisit each video as many times as a need to, work at my own pace, and move ahead when i feel new information might be helpful to mastering previous techniques or to add variety. Overall, excellent job Fender. One MAJOR request that I have since I am coming from previous experiences playing piano and vocals, is that you provide lessons on how to transpose music from standard notation to tab and back again so I can use the music book i have collected over the years to play the songs I love. Thanks again Fender!
