Steel Guitar for Positive User Reviews
✓ What Have I Been Missing?I bought this app when it first went on sale and picked up the in-app purchases. I played with it a couple of times then I never touched it again until today. 5 years I’ve had this and not used it’s amazing tone and vibe. Over the last couple of years I’ve learned a bit about slide guitar so I applied that to this and in no time I was playing Ry Cooders Feelin’ Bad Blues. The only real downside I see with this is that I can’t mute the strings that are ringing when I move to other strings. That’s right hand technique. But you can adjust the dampened sustain so it creates an imperfect approximation but still usable. I highly recommend this app even if just to try killing time in the waiting line at your local rat race. It sounds great and it’s fun..Version: 2.2
✓ Genuinely useful and musicalOne of the few (of very many) music apps I have that I can envisage actually being used to make music. The strings analogy works particularly well on iPad etc and provides something even the best keyboard can't when it comes to emulating guitars, basses etc (or wind instruments for that matter - a la iFretless range of apps). This app does one thing and it does it well, with useful sounds and just enough customisation..Version: 2.2
✓ Marvelous app... as soon as I figured out to play the bar on the right!It took me a bit to get sound out of it. I am used to playing the strings, but here you need to play that pickup pad on the right! Fantastic sounds. Love Kauldron and Magellan as well! Thank you! Exploring and have discovered this only works using the onscreen fretboard. Disappointing, as I would love to access the sounds with a keyboard. Any chance of that happening?.Version: 2.2
✓ GreatMy favourite guitar app get it while its free.still worth a buck though.Version: 0
✓ Blown on the steel breezeGot this after seeing the soundtestroom review and discovering that all IAP's were on offer for just a few quids. Bargain. Crucially, the app works very well with AudioBus, and linked with particular effects and AB state saving, can produce some luv-er-ly sounds. Nic.Version: 2.0
✓ Legit slide for iPhone.Possibly one of the best apps that is a musical instrument. I am sorta blown away with how much you can do with it. I plan on actually using this at the studio that I work at because its so freakin cool. Love it. The control you have over the sounds is super good if you know what you are doing. Nice work!.Version: 0
✓ Finally!!This app is just what all dobro and steel players need. I can't count the times I've had an idea for a melody and was just too lazy to unpack the tricone. One request, please add additional tunings or allow saving the user tuning. Thanks!.Version: 0
✓ Great sound and fun!A few minutes of playing with the free version was all that it took for me to instantly upgrade to the full version! This app is fantastic and is another great addition to any mobile musician's arsenal. Don't hesitate, try it out and see and hear for yourself. This app sells itsells pretty much. Updated review: Thanx for offering both landscape orientations now. That was my only complaint with the previous version. It deserves the full five stars now :) Awesome! This app is pure ear candy and is highly recommended!.Version: 2.2
✓ Orientation pleeeeease!Lovely app! Brand new to it. Though the first issue I noticed which I think is a pretty big one is the landscape orientation.. Why can't it invert? It's upside down for me, when my iPad is connected to my particular mobile hub for recording..(Focusrite iTrack dock.) It's pretty much useless for me at the moment.. Please, I hope you take this into consideration for me and other musicians who are bound to run into this issue.. I'll change to five stars if you implement this addition. Stellar app otherwise. Thanks much, cheers!.Version: 2.0
✓ AmateurI don't know 1 thing 'bout guitars so this's naturally awesome for me and the other reviews support my view. I'll soon be taking classes though, so... We'll see... Until then this app is great ;) Oh, and for those guys who couldn't hear sounds, try strumming only on that grey part (sorry, don't know what it's called!). Then it works. Or check the volume in the settings. Anyway, awesome app!.Version: 0
✓ Awesome!After buying and spending 4 amazing hours with Tone Stack, I looked at other apps on the website and watched the video for Steel Guitar. Bought it, and the whole enchilada pack. This app is so awesome, the sounds, the layout, the features. A couple of things on my wishlist: MIDI out, so I can record and edit my many mistakes in a piano roll editor. And the awesome Bristol amp model and the totally brilliant Pepper & Vinegar overdrive from Tone Stack! Thank you :).Version: 2.2
✓ Too Cool On the iPad!I didn't think there would be a steel guitar app for the iPhone but I searched for the heck of it, and to my amazement there it was. Pretty awesome app. But like most instrument apps, the iPhone is to smallish for any realism. So I loaded this on to my iPad and loved it. The size is perfect for 10 string. I can actually play songs on it. It would be to awesome if you guys made an iPad HD version. Thanks for making my day!.Version: 0
✓ One of the bestThis is the best and one of the most advanced free app in the store. Hard to believe that this high quality app is free! I have both real lap guitar and real steel pedal guitar, and this one plays very much like the real thing. Wonderful design, awesome and extensive options, great sounds and highly playable. I don't use any other app on my iPhone more than this one. Five stars and thanks!.Version: 0
✓ It’s great! I wonder?It’s a great app. I wonder if it will ever have a resonator guitar included….Version: 2.2
✓ Sweet sound but where’s the AU ?What I’m upset about is when I bought this, at some point it included an AU and or VST3 plug-in that I could then use with Logic Pro x and if it works with Logic it works with apples main stage. There’s even a link to download the plugin but there’s nothing there. What happened? When these music apps came out for iPhone and later iPad I considered them just music/game apps. Something to play with not a reliable performing tool. Plus I’ve looked everywhere and i think this is the only lap steel out there. Amazingly so far I’ve just listened to it through my gen 1 iPad Pro with 4 speakers. It’s amazing the sweet sound this makes through those tiny speakers. I can’t wait to hear it through my studio rig. Let me know if I can get a plug-in for Logic Pro x . Ofcoarse it would have to be played on a keyboard and will not have all these functions. Maybe that’s why it’s gone.Version: 2.2
✓ Fantastic app!Bought the Whole Enchillada, if you like the app I recommend you do the same. Customer service from Yonac was quick and helpful, too..Version: 2.2
✓ Play like BJ!Excellent app: well engineered with a host of features and a great sound and look. I've not mastered playing it yet but then ...just try it in real life!! Accelerometer response couild maybe do with smoothing out a touch...Great fun and well done guys..Version: 0
✓ Very good.I notice a request to improve the tuning text does not seem to have happened. Secondly I would like the option to have musical scales shown on the guitar neck(body). This would enable a novice to be able to get the most out of the instrument. The number of guitars amps and effects along with the number of different guitars make this a pleasure to play..Version: 2.2
✓ Tricky at first but great funLoads of settings to change, great sounds got to have, even better that it's free!.Version: 0
✓ V2 is AMAZINGThank you so much for this update. I agree with the other reviewers said this update took the app from a toy to a playable instrument. The number of updates is truly impressive. Great job. This app will now fool some people into thinking that you have an actual pedal steel guitar. I think the trick with using this app, is in using it delicately. You still need to know what you're doing if you want to sound good. But if you don't care, it is still a ton of fun..Version: 2.0
✓ AmazingThis app is amazing! It's so well done, and is worth way more than $1. The graphics look sleek, and I find the playability much nicer on this app compared to other guitar apps. There are so many options, I've been having a lot of fun attempting to try them all out. I recommend this for anyone who plays guitar or is interested in guitars. It's a great and very convincing introduction to steel guitar..Version: 0
✓ Even cooler than I hoped forThis is one of the most amazing iPhone instruments yet... I was excited when I saw this, and figured since it was from Yonac that it would be good, but it far surpasses my expectations - TONS of options, sounds great, lots of fun to play! I have a little experience playing lap steel and dobro, and this is a heck of a translation to the iPhone platform. If you like steel guitar in any way shape or form, this is a no brainer- just buy it. My requests for future updates :). : - ability to record and export tracks - ability to layer tracks - option to save your various configurations so that you can switch back and forth without having to set the whole thing up again- for example, my favorite set up is the lap steel on the clean setting in open G, with various other little tweaks. I do also like the Nashville set up, and it would be nice to be able to just zip back and forth between them. Excellent job Yonac- thank you!!!!! Update: whoops, you •can• jam over top your iPod music! So I removed that ask... And I've been showing this to people and playing it for them and they are amazed by how good it sounds..Version: 0
✓ :DSounds awesome and it's free!!!.Version: 0
✓ Good idea though.... the free thingI honestly wouldn't have bought this right off (for any price... probably since I've never tried a real steel guitar)... but now that I have downloaded it and tried it... I would definitely pay for it. Sweet instrument. I don't know... so you guys can make some money (so you have time to make more cool apps) maybe do the free "light" version thing with certain advanced features removed?.Version: 0
✓ Brilliant!Excellent app. Add the abilty to save presets please, I think is a must then it will be 5 stars or 6!! Well done!.Version: 0
✓ Cannot say enough good things about this app!I don't know why I downloaded this (free at this time) because as a guitar player I really don't like any of the virtual guitar sims to date.......until now! I didn't need long playing with the free version before I upgraded to the full version and I was not disappointed. Yanoc has a real winner here and at a very affordable price point. I won't go into all it will do. Download the free version for yourself and give it a try. If you love guitar then you owe it to yourself to have a go with this one!.Version: 2.0
✓ Fun app!Having played pedal steel for over 30 years, I was pleased to find this cool app. Hope this sparks interest in these addictive instruments for all who try it! Thanks, and enjoy!.Version: 0
✓ Some lovely guitar choices; include a Stratocaster for the Strat lover?The tele and acoustic and twelve string and lapsteels I quite enjoy. I love the sound of a Strat also and was wondering if it’s possible to include a Strat to play steel guitar with in this app? ♥️🎶🎸 Thank you God bless you 🙏.Version: 2.2
✓ All in all, very goodI downloaded just to see if it was any good. As one that plays real steel guitars, I liked the various features that others may not think to add otherwise, it ran well, good quality sound, except for actually sliding the fret. Also would be good to actually have a way of recording, kind of like a sound recording session that we would do, goofing around til we found a good tune and worked from there. All in all, a very good, well-designed app..Version: 1.2
✓ Super!A lot of features to configure it like you want, a lot of different instruments! Thanks!.Version: 0
✓ Music To My EarsAt first it gets kind of boring with the sound, but I played around with the tone... It can be a rock/metal guitar! Don't give up on it! Needs a record option though!.Version: 0
✓ AwesomeThis is probably one of the best free apps in the app store. I only left off one star because I think that there should be a way to mute strings after you play them (I mean mute them, not just cut the volume out for a bit until you turn it back.).Version: 0
✓ Works great on iPad Pro.I've just started learning dobro and have only had the app a week but so far it seems pretty great. No tech hiccups and it sounds great..Version: 2.2
✓ Open tuning heavenWonderful guitar app. Love the attention to detail. The extra few bucks to open up the good stuff is well worth it. Works very nicely as inter-app. Only one bugbear the app occasionally crashes when opening the acoustic guitar, other than that it’s purrrrfect..Version: 2.2
✓ Unbelievably fun, realistic and amazing!!!The best money I have spent on App Store in very long time. Solid and the options available are amazing. If you are a guitar or piano person you can get this thing humming and really add some creative sounds to tracks..Version: 2.0
✓ Quite a steel at this price.This app is great, as a player of a lap steel and a pedal steel this app is a really good practical reference. I don't think there is any other app that will let you play each string/slide up and down the neck. For PEDAL STEEL this just might be the ultimate sonic/visual reference for a notoriously difficult and challenging instrument to learn. For the pedal steel alone this would be worth the price. The ability to change tunings for each string in the four different modes is a bonus BUT the ultimate was the tilting (accelerometer) features which give the user to experience the "raising" and "lowering" like you do with the A B C pedals and Knee levers on the pedal steel...that blew my mind!!! Great work.....Look forward to updates.Version: 0
✓ Love it and have for years!Very realistic, love the ability to do slants!.Version: 2.2
✓ Awesome sounding appI really love the sound of this app. The samples are really good and convincing. I like how the fretboard and strings change with the different guitars. The tuning options and tweakability are superb. I like that you can mute the strings too. One small thing I would love to see.. I wish there was a mode where you could fret only some of the strings, and leave some of them open. Maybe that's a weird thing I do when I am playing a lapsteel. But it is an effective technique. I've seen Daniel Lanois do it too. Makes it easier to get some counterpoint in your playing. It seems like it would be possible with multitouch. Not exactly sure how, but that would be awesome. :).Version: 2.1
✓ Great appI'm running 6s on 9.1 16gb silver. Worked great for a little while but now it freezes more often than not. Also, the back part of my phone (under the camera lense) gets very hot when I am attempting to open the app after multiple freezes..Version: 2.1
✓ Sweet, sweet realistic and easy to useBeautiful sound. Unbelievable value. Great selection of traditional Instruments. Custom tuning. I purchased the whole kit, and there is a huge selection of Instruments effects and amplifiers. Records/interacts beautifully with Logic Pro X..Version: 2.2
✓ Even betterEven if you don't play or know much about steel guitar this is a remarkable instrument emulation and much thought has gone into its design. Update: Thanks for the slide tweek-- you rock my world literally.. It is WAY more like playing some steel than rubbing two wrinkled dollar bills together. Anyone could have fun with this app.. Blues electric player curious about what 10 strings and 4 pedals can do all crunchy and effected? Buy. Keyboardist? Buy. Harp? (coming soon) ger bear picked heavy licks on the steel..your turn. So close to perfect... (though more than complete for the money) The bar still needs some attention. I need to be able to mute strings, having played some pedal steel before so I can't really lock in and start flowing with this tool but... I could just strum those ten shiny strings a few times and get $2 of warmth back from this app. With apps like this you can make your own music for the price of a couple iTunes songs.. The 'professor' reviewer needs to take a 101 course on iPhone apps and reboot his device, then take music 098 and learn what a steel guitar is-- sure looks like one to me. The prof might try and go find any killer guitar app like ishred and look at the frets.. This is a small control surface not a physical guitar replica. (agree about bar though) does the prof give all his 90% students f's? If you were going to set a curve for $2 apps this is an a+ IMO...Version: 0
✓ Excellent!So easy to use tons of sounds, features, fx. Love it..Version: 2.2
✓ Sounds greatAnd has so many cool features. I can't imagine having more. I am not even a musician and I love this app. I am having so much fun trying to create sounds that I enjoy listening to real musicians. Yonac creates fantastic music apps. They don't go half way. Have fun!.Version: 2.0
✓ Love it - especially now it’s been updated plentyGot it free during the Yonac sale and got the “Full” version with all the add-ons unlocked for half price. It’s probably something I would never have bothered with until I saw it for free and gave it a go. Immediately paid for the full version as I got right into it after just 10 minutes... With Midi, Audiobus and IAA and the copious amount of fx and amps plus a virtual tape deck for looping etc, it’s definitely something I’m glad I discovered. Thumbs up to the Yonac Devs..Version: 2.2
✓ This is goodI play guitar and this is probably the only guitar app I have ever paid for. Fantastic..Version: 2.2
✓ Woah.THAT'S a steel guitar? I've only written one country song lyrically (I mostly write goth/glam and metal) and someone suggested I find a steel guitar for it. I laughed at that idea. But THIS is what they are like? I'm going to go look at kijiji now!.Version: 1.2
✓ Perfect now!Thank you Yonac for fixing the landscape orientation issue! This amazing app is now even more... Amazing-er! Kudos for listening to your loyal users. 5 stars!.Version: 2.2
✓ Fantastic!!!I love this app!!! Please keep it updated..Version: 2.2
✓ Fantastic AppI've never touched a real steel guitar in my life, but Steel Guitar let's me pretend to be Steve Howe during the soaring sections of 'And You and I' to my heart's content. The touch controls are fantastic, and the instruments, amps, and effects all sound great. As mentioned, the 'Whole Enchilada' bundle is an absolute no-brainer..Version: 2.2
✓ Nothing Else Like ItOn iOS, at least. Sounds good and it's fun to play..Version: 2.2
✓ Easily the best steel guitar iOS apAnother incredible app from Yonac. Alongside Magellan synth, and the outstanding guitar effects app ToneStack, Steel Guitar is a must-have app for iOS musicians interested in guitar music. The base version comes with enough guitars and effects to keep you busy, but you'd be silly not to purchase "The Whole Enchilada" IAP, which brings the app to the next level. Highly recommend..Version: 2.0
✓ Sounds awesomeWon't auto rotate with iPad though so you need to hold the iPad right side up. Doesn't fit well with my set up because of that. Also, pain in the A that pedals and amps have to be opened over top the guitar and then closed before you can strum to hear changes. Great app with big frustrations. Hope the changes come soon..Version: 2.0
✓ Excellent appGreat app for slide guitar, amps and effects. Highly recommended..Version: 2.2
✓ StunningI just bought this (and the Kauldron synth) in the Christmas bargain/all-for-a bargain sale, and I must say I am stunned! This is the best pad implementation of a Steel guitar I have ever seen, and works so well, even on my new latest gen “ordinary” iPad. Instabuy at this price! Well done Yonac for pushing the boundaries again!!.Version: 2.2
✓ Awsome!This app is so good! Sound is cool. I have some ideas you might add: multi touch for chords,heavy metal sounds could be funny too.Version: 0
✓ AmazingI love it, I use it everyday! Amazing sound for an App!.Version: 2.2
