Toolbox

How do I download the metronome and the other tools in order to use them offline?

Hi Sadistik Priest,

The tools in the toolbox are not available to download for offline use, but you can always use this via your mobile device browser, if you are connected to wifi, or otherwise.

If we were to make the tools available for offline, do you think it would be best to put them in an app?

The former, yet very similar Guitar Tricks metronome was an Adobe Flash app that was downloadable. I have it on my computer and it is virtually the only metronome I use specifically because I can use it offline. Perhaps GT can point the way to that old .exe file.

While some email apps block the sending and/or receipt of .exe file attachments it can be done. If GT still had Private Messages one of us who still have the file might be able to send it to you without you having to post your email address in the forum and broadcasting it to the world... something you most certainly shouldn't do. Unfortunately, we're still awaiting the return of Private Messages. See https://www.guitartricks.com/forum/thread.php?f=12&t=46531&pg=1

Though not addressed to me, if I might offer my feedback?

If GT is going to make any of the utils avail for DL and only in a single format, in Android app form would be my (& majority?) preferred format. Whilst I watch the tutes and lessons initially on my Win 10 PC, I use my Android tablet for hands on subsequent application, reinforcement and revision with the guitar.

Making them downloadable? May as well make the tuner a goodwill ambassador for GT just as Fender does. I occasionally use the Fender one for Andriod because it's an app. i.e. convenient. Ultimately availability of your tuner isn't a big deal with so many excellent free alternatives available.

Whilst I don't depend on those as I have a D'Addario micro headstock, soundhole or installed preamp with tuner for each of my guitars as well as NUX tuner pedal and (Korg) line & aural tuner, and figure most will have at least one of these within a short time of buying a guitar, I personally think making an inexpensive or free with membership app with those utilities can only enhance GTs profile and public awareness.

OTOH I do use GTs fretboard notes util frequently, and would welcome having this as an app available for ease of frequent revision and rote memory reinforcement offline use whenever a spare fifteen minutes present would be a boon, as my the phone screen is too small and my 9.7" screen tablet is restricted to wi-fi only with no inbuilt or external cellular dongle.
