Description
"Of all the guitar apps available on the App Store, Frontier Design’s iShred: Guitar + Effects is my favorite." - MacWorld

"By the first strum, you realize that iShred is a virtual guitar like no other - it is in fact the tool for ultimate guitar supremacy on an MP4 player scale." - TouchMyApps

"If you buy nothing else, buy this one. I'd give it 10 stars if I could!" - Jacksondale, 5 stars

"Amazing app! The 'Tilt to use wah-wah' feature absolutely blew my mind." - SDA11, 5 stars

iShred starts with a set of high-fidelity guitar samples, then feeds them through eight exciting effects pedals and an overdriven amp simulator. Whether you want a clean trebly surf sound, a spacey rock lead, or an all-out metal assault, iShred delivers the goods. The sonic line-up includes these virtual stomp-boxes:

EFFECTS
◦ Adrenaline: Treble Booster for that extra shot
◦ HK-2000 Delay: For fat slap sound or huge echo
◦ Hot Fuzz: Get buzzed with an electrifying distortion
◦ Kömpressör: Power chords just beg for it
◦ Q-36 Space Modulator: Multi-pattern modulation
◦ Sybil: Dual chorus pedal to hear your evil twin
◦ Trembler: Get a healthy dose of Tremolo
◦ Wahsabi: Tilt your iPhone to control this wah pedal!

As with Guitar, our advanced acoustic guitar app, iShred provides a playing interface that's both powerful and easy to learn. Create your songs from a huge library of over 2000 built-in chords, scales, and fret positions, by assigning them to the two rows of buttons at the top of the screen. The buttons give you immediate access to all the chords and scales you need for a song, and let you easily switch between strumming chords and playing melodies.

Version 1.86
I'm having a great time learning to play with this and their acoustic version, Guitar. Here's a tip: go into AirPlay and download songs you want to learn. Then you can slow down the tempo and play it back to see what buttons they are using and which strings. A lot easier than trying to figure out guitar tab sites. For you guys asking about string muting, it's in the Settings: turn off "Button Lock" (don't ask me why they didn't call it Mute or something). To mute strings while playing release the chord button: you gotta use two hands to play, but that's the price you pay. Check out their Smoke on the Water video, it shows how to do this about halfway through. Yo, Jimi Jazz, it does have user chords. Pick the User part of the dial and then click the bottom right menu thingy and pick "New User Chord". You are welcome!
Amazing App!

I own Pocket Guitar, and it's great for it's price; However, this app is incredible for it's price. So you just need to ask yourself if you really want to get what you pay for. You will not regret it with this one. The pedals and ability to record and create new user chords, sounds, etc. makes this one a must have. They just updated it as well, so now you can download songs by Wi-Fi! It just keeps getting better! Thanks developers. I like the LE idea too, but you'll end up buying the full version.

Version 1.80
Luv this & the Guitar app. Upgrade the Guitar app with some additional accoustic guitars & I'll give both of these the phreaked-out 5 rating! I recently complained abt the app crashing & being unable to move songs in the playlist: both issues have been resolved by the recent update. Thanks a lot. This way my most used app. (still want different sounding axes in GUITAR, esp. a sweet blues ax & maybe a Mandolin(?) )
Awesome!

Version 1.85
Sure, palm mute or finger mute would be great if it can be done, but this is great! Definately a BUY, and best in class app. I'd like to have it demo each song included though.
