APP REVIEW


APP NAME : WI GUITAR DEVELOPER : WALLANDER INSTRUMENTS FORMAT : PRICE :


IPHONE/IPAD/ITOUCH £11.99


You may think that guitarists are ten-a-penny, but trust us they’re like taxis – never there when you need them. Why not fast track your skillset to become a master of the acoustic yourself, so you never need rely on a guitarist again for your sampling requirements? WI Guitar presents itself as an acoustic guitar simulator, so while there are no record/sequence/export functions, it is perfect for getting that authentic, steel-strung sound. Naturally you can plug your device into a recording input of your audio hardware to capture the virtual virtuosity, so for £11.99 you can effectively own a strummable, pluckable guitar. The learning curve is a little steep, but the interface helps that by being very intuitive – even for total axe novices. OK, so you won’t be


hashing out Stairway in five minutes flat but within a few hours you’ll have the skills for that planned campfire sing-a- long. Coupled with your DAW, by recording riffs, patterns or even single chords, it’s a new way to use guitar in your electronic productions.


VERDICT 8/10
