For the past few weeks, I have been working on a pet project of mine in my spare time: an educational music game for cell phones.

It is now ready for wider testing and I need people with a variety of mobile devices to help me make sure it works well. If your phone is capable of playing games, you should be able to test this.

The game is called Guitar Trainer, and it is basically a fun way to learn your way around the fretboard of any stringed instrument (guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, ukulele so far).

Here is a quick screen shot of the thing in action!


So please head on to guitar.mobiletutor.org for more information (I own this new domain) and sign up for the beta! You just need to fill in a short form and installing it is easy. At worst, there's also a Web demo you can try straight from your browser.

Please let me know of any feedback/suggestions/ideas/compliments, your help is very much appreciated!
