This is Bass Clef in free play mode. You can touch the fingerboard to play notes. You can also scroll the fingerboard right and left all the way to the 12th fret.
A lot of people learn to play the guitar and then move on to the bass. Because they learned to play melodies reading the treble clef and chords by reading tabs they don't always develop good skills reading the bass clef. Bass Clef will not only help you learn to read the bass clef but also to learn the bass guitar fingerboard and develop sight reading skills. You can learn in two ways. First there's the basic flash card exercises. Once you develop some skill reading notes with the flash cards you can move on to sight reading exercises.
Touch the "Learn" button to do one of the exercises. To develop sight reading and further develop your fingerboard skills the fingerboard exercises will drill you with notes on the bass clef. In this exercise you'll be asked to play a note on the fingerboard within an allotted time. You'll only be drilled on the visible frets. Beginners can start with the easiest fingerboard exercises settings. Start off with the Sharps & Flats turned off, allow plenty of time to find the right note and keep the text hints on. When you're ready for more of a challenge you can limit your attempt to find the right note to a single try, turn off the hints and reduce the time to find the right note. Bass Clef shows a scrolling fingerboard with a twelve fret range. You can select a 4/5/6 string bass and play right or left handed. The sampled bass sounds give you great feedback. If you like, you can just play it like a real bass.
Bass Cleff is our exciting new project for iPhone. Version 1.1 is on the way and fixes tuner problems on iPhone OS 3.0
