Hey Everyone,

I'm a guitarist and a software developer. I'd like to share an Android app I developed for practicing musicians, called Mozart's Friend.

Mozart's Friend includes an interactive music library with over 1,200 scales, modes and chords for every music key signature, complete with piano view and neck view for 6, 7 or 8-string guitar and 4, 5 or 6-string bass. Notes and intervals are labeled using music theory conventions, making Mozart's Friend a great companion for the composer or music student. One-touch audio demonstrations provide interactive ear training. Tunings for each instrument are fully user-definable.

Also included is a chromatic tuner and a programmable metronome with adjustable tones and intervallic beats, allowing you to quickly outline a chord to play along with. Transpose keys easily in a single swipe.

And finally, a one-touch backup band! The new Jam Tracks feature allows you to simply choose your musical style and you're up and running. Adjust the tempo and key with the friendly controls.

Mozart's Friend does not save nor send any user information, contains no ads and is absolutely Free.

Cheers,

-James

Downloading it now to my Galaxy Note2

and to avoid confusion and make it easier to search in the future - I renamed this thread's title to include the proper name for your app "Mozart's Friend"

I love the "hear it" feature for the 26 different voiced jazz chords - as this helps me tremendously!

Thanks so much Elantric!

My own personal Android also happens to be the Galaxy Note 2, which the app was developed on.   ;D

I know what you mean - the moment I got the HearIt feature working and played a minor 7th chord, it was like damn - I love it lol (if I do say so myself). Just a handy fast and futz-free reference.

One thing I'd like to point out also is that you can add/subtract notes from the scale/chord and the HearIt automatically follows the changes, letting you immediately hear how it affects the sound of the chord or scale. So you can hear how the 7th chord sounds with or without, say, the 3rd, or how the Major 6th affects the sound of the Dorian scale, etc.
