Keep Your Fingers in Shape with GuitarCardio

Posted by Fred on Thursday, July 10th, 2008

Brad Heintz has written a wonderful little web app for practicing guitar called GuitarCardio. The app will let you set a few parameters like key, scales to use, and difficulty, and will generate guitar tablature containing the desired number of exercises. Brad's idea is brilliant for mixing up your practice routine on a daily basis, and I look forward to working more with his application.

Brad has mentioned on his blog that he is interested in opening an API to other applications like Facebook and iGoogle, and I feel as though having an iGoogle widget for this website could prove very useful. I will be looking into getting one up and running as soon as Brad has a few moments to devote to the idea.

Awesome find man. I'm definately gonna try to visit that site often. I've had music theory nailed down for years, but have never taken the time to -really- learn the fret board.

Hi from GuitarCardio

Fred -

Thanks for coming by GuitarCardio.com, and thanks for being so enthusiastic about the site and posting about it on your blog.

Stay tuned on the GC blog; I'll be posting about the next round of features in the next 2 or 3 days. I don't think I'll be getting to external services in the next revision of the site, but I do want to be able to open GC to as wide an audience as possible, so I'm keeping it in the front of my mind.

Thanks again, and I hope to see you back soon!
