Yousician review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Pick Yousician if you want to learn guitar plus bass or singing and enjoy scored, game-like practice. If you only want guitar basics, a single-instrument app or the One Instrument plan is enough.

What Yousician is

Yousician teaches guitar, bass and singing with a game-like screen that listens as you play and scores your accuracy. The description lists step-by-step guitar lessons from beginner to intermediate and beyond, chords, strumming, fingerpicking, lead guitar, theory, scales and arpeggios, tab and sheet music reading, a built-in tuner, and progress tracking across 300+ techniques. The developer says the guided path holds over 10,000 lessons, exercises and songs.
