Guitar Apprentice is one in a series of music learning app-and-controller sets from Ion Audio, which also includes Piano Apprentice and Drum Apprentice, as well as Drum Master, which comes with a full-size electric drum kit. The plastic instruments connect to the iPad, and each shows students where or how to play, lighting up frets, piano keys or drum pads as appropriate. Teachers also appear on the apps to present basic lessons to users.Although the frets on the controller are designed to simulate fretting real guitar strings, it doesn’t look like the app will alleviate the sore fingers students will have if they ever move up to a real guitar.
