Guitar Studio for BlackBerry is available here or through BlackBerry AppWorld.

Now you can conserve your battery by setting your main backlight timer to the minimum
10 seconds, then use the quick and easy BackLighter menu to keep your back light on only when you need it. The App also features a configurable maximum Backlight time (from 1 minute to 2 hours) can prevent accidental battery drain from forgetting to turn it off and an o.Optional low battery shutdown can automatically disable BackLighter when your battery drops below a user configured percentage.

The App does not interfere with normal “in Holster” operation of your device and can optionally run automatically on device startup to ensure that you will always have control over your BackLight.

It’s perfect if your jamming too. Perhaps someone suggests playing a certain song that you don’t have the music for. Pull up Guitar Studio, search the song, pull it in and start playing! How easy is that! there are lots of places online to get legal tabular music files so have fun and start building your Guitar Music Library!

What you’ll need:

1) A source for Tabs or Lyric/Chord files (there are lots online) or write your own if you desire.
2) A text editor such as Textedit (Mac) or NotePad (PC)
3) A email program to email the result

Guitar Studio offers very flexible file handling as long as the extension on the file you want to use is .tab
This means that you can write lyric and chord text like the example below, or cut and paste any Tab or Chord/Lyric text into your text editor and then save it with a .tab extension for use in Guitar Studio.

Example: (written in a text editor like NotePad or TextEdit)

Once you have finished editing your text file. Save it with a .tab extension (or rename it once the file is on your BlackBerry) and then email the file to your BlackBerry email address.

Once you receive the file, say yes to the download file option, then yes to the file not compatible with BlackBerry message (it will be compatible with Guitar Studio). Choose a place to store the file on your device (I recommend a folder name like GuitarMedia). Once the file has been saved to your BlackBerry (rename it to .tab extension if it isn’t already), then start the Guitar Studio App, go to LOAD TAB and click the BlackBerry key and choose UPDATE LIBRARY.

You should then see your new .tab file in the list and be able to open it.

Now all the chords above your lyrics are accessible in the 30,000 chord library that comes with Guitar Studio, just by highlighting the chord.

This is a great option for those that want to write their own Lyric/Chord music and then import for use with Guitar Studio. It also means that you can cut and paste virtually any music you can find (legally) and put it on your device for use with Guitar Studio.

Enjoy!
