Usually, guitar learning apps are purely based on visuals. This makes it impossible for blind people to use these apps. But the ‘Guitar Wiz’ app created by Bijoy Thangaraj has completely solved this problem. Bijoy has used Apple’s Voice Over feature in the ‘Guitar Wiz’ app very aptly. This feature allows users to accurately learn the pitch, chords and finger placement on guitar frets without looking at the screen.
