How it works
Practice the drone and melody, not just the shape.
Retuning changes the map under your fingers. Open Tunings Trainer gives each tuning its own rolls, chord paths, and fretboard shapes so practice stays musical.
Choose a roll
Use a tuning-specific starter idea or build your own progression.
Follow the roll
See the full progression strip, highlighted next shape, and picked string on the fretboard.
Keep time
Practice with BPM, playback, metronome, and hands-free controls.
Built-in tunings
Pick the tuning, then the idea.
Each tuning keeps its own string spelling, home key, and starter roll, so you are not forcing standard-tuning habits onto a new layout.

Questions
Open-tuning practice without the chart pile.
What is Open Tunings Trainer?
It is an iPhone and iPad app for practicing chord changes in popular open tunings. It shows the tuning, the full progression strip, highlighted next shape, and playable fretboard shapes.
Which tunings are included?
The app includes Open G, Open D, DADGAD, Open E, Open A, and Open C.
Why show the full progression?
Open tunings can feel disorienting at first. Seeing the whole loop with the next grip highlighted helps the movement become physical instead of theoretical.
Can I make my own loops?
Yes. Start from a built-in loop or build and save custom progressions on your device.
Does it require a subscription?
After the free 3-day Trial, continue for $0.99/month, which renews unless canceled, or choose the one-time $9.99 lifetime unlock. No account and no ads.
