Any good Apps that you guys recommend?

Im trying to get my head around chord shapes and the scales and something i can carry on the ipod touch would be great for on the fly practice

Cheers

Have you looked in the music section on the app store? The one i use is call Chords. Its free and while not too advanced lets you dial in a chord on the left hand side, what variation it is on the right and shows you what notes to fret at the top. its pretty basic though and doesn't do scales as far as i can see.

There is also one called guitar chords that looks nice but its about £1.19 so ive not tried it.

There are a few, some free but you tend to get what you pay for. I have Fretboard Lite (free) good for scales and chords in different tunings, Guitar Toolkit which is cool but costs (its a tuner, metronome,Chords and scales with audio and covers a multitude of instruments inc Banjo and Ukelele. Another couple you might like to look at are Four Track (Recording desk. Pretty cool app) and Heartbreaker drum machine (not got to grips with that yet). Enjoy

I have Guitar Toolkit. It was £5.99 but I use it all the time & can be used for chords & scales for 4,5 & 6 string Bass, 6 & 12 string Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin & Banjo as well as a tuner for each of those instruments and has a metronome with tap tempo or scroll wheel. Worth every penny.

Yeah had a look on the app stoe but with so much choie I was wondering what was recommended. I've picked up Guitar Toolkit as it does seem to have everything in one package.

Thanks for the tips

+1 to Guitar Toolkit. An excellent app. Last time I showed it to a couple of my students it took me 5 minutes to get it back! Wish all my teaching aids worked as well!

Guitar toolkit is a great app.
All the scales, all the tunings, all in your pocket.

Not quite on topic but i got the Peterson software the other day. Fantastic piece of software and the best tuner ive ever owned.
I expect ill look like a knob tuning up with it at the gig but who cares. Im a bass player.
