GuitarLog - Unleash your inner shredder

I just came across this app for OS X called GuitarLog, I haven’t tried it yet but it looks pretty cool. The idea is that you structure practice sessions by using stored exercises. Each take remembers the “state” of your performance of an exercise and increments the BPM each time unless you specify otherwise.

“If you haven’t practiced an exercise for a while and don’t want to waste time listening to mistakes, you should rate all of your takes. It only takes a simple keystroke to set a rating, but can provide you with so much information as you review your practice sessions. It can also be used from the Statistics view to quickly recall the fastest tempo you’ve achieved in a particular exercise.“

You can also track which guitars were used on specific takes and see statistical graphs of your improvements. So far it is heavily geared toward reaching maximum tempo per exercise but apparently this application is still evolving so maybe it will analyse precision in the future? That would be very useful, say you had an mp3 of a riff and it checked your version against theirs at different tempos?

Anyway I can’t really tell how useful it is until I try it, so that is my plan for this weekend!
