Why it helps guitarists

Built by POLPROG, the team behind GuitarAtlas, RiffMentor helps musicians practice with structure, consistency and focus. It analyses your goals, history and instrument to recommend what to practice next, then guides each rep hands-free with an audio metronome.

  • Learning a scale is one thing. Practising it consistently is what creates progress.
  • RiffMentor structures your daily practice so each session has a clear focus.
  • Use it right after a GuitarAtlas lesson to turn theory into reps.
  • It works for scales, chords, rhythm, technique, ear training and repertoire.
  • Hands-free audio guidance keeps you on the instrument.
  • Privacy-first design means your data never leaves your device.
