About the app
Music Rhythm Trainer is a free, multimedia practice tool created by Guitar Tabs LLC for iPhone. It’s built to help both practicing musicians and casual listeners sharpen their timing through short, focused exercises. The activities are practical and trialed in real teaching situations, so a single 15-minute session can be a productive daily habit.
