Who Is This App For?

  • Hobbyist musicians who have tried and abandoned other methods and are looking for a more interactive, feedback-driven, and fun approach to practice.
  • Players with some experience who want to fill gaps in their knowledge, learn new songs quickly, or work on specific techniques like fingerpicking or chord transitions.
  • Families or individuals who want an affordable and flexible alternative to in-person music lessons.

How to Use Yousician

  • The app will listen and highlight notes in green (correct) or red (needs work) as you play. Pay attention to the feedback after each exercise to understand what to improve.
  • Regularly check the "Songs" section to apply your skills to real music, and explore the "Practice" tab for personalized exercise recommendations based on your performance history.

I'm not a huge fan of a subscription payment model but perhaps it's due to licensed music. I completed the free trial but I'll probably wait for a sale to continue using the app. I would love to see the ability to play the same song with a friend. I have two sons learning guitar and bass and it would be cool if they could sync a track and play together as they learn. The ability to make custom tracks would also be really nice or changing between users. Overall, a positive experience though"

Pretty amazing app. Found it looking for an app to use with my uke. Quickly expanded to the vocal setting. High hopes for learning piano, guitar, and bass in the future using this. I like the ability to skip around and do things at your own pace. I can practice songs I know while learning the basics at the same time. I hope that they add more songs to the library though. They have a lot of great songs, but I'm sure there are issues with licensing rights etc. Overall great app."

I've been enjoying the app, but the single most frustrating exercises are the chord trainers. I've reached out to support with this before, the app just doesn't pick up the chord on the first or even second or third strum at time, and out of frustration I've even strummed the heck out of these chords. They're correct, I'm playing with headphones in a quiet area, and still, app will fail to recognize them. It's honestly the most irritating thing in the program so far and I'm up to level 4."
