Being new to the iPhone I've been exploring some guitar based apps.
Found a couple of good ones and a great many shit ones.

Quite impressed with this so don't mind paying.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

TIA

I blogged a few apps I like to use a wee while back:

Since then been quite a few more apps added, such at the PRS Jam Amp
App

and Premier Guitar Magazine's app:

as well as many others :)

Looking forward to TAB apps and more guitar apps on the iPad!

I quite fancy this one although it's £5.99 which seems plenty for an
app. Having said that it seems to be highly rated.

I think the iPad will be great for a lot of music apps. Would certainly
like something like guitar pro but not so flakey.

OTOH, maybe I should just write it, I am in the iPad developer group!

Funny thing you see about the iTunes application store. Back in the old
days applications cost sort of �30 to �300. Applications on the iTunes
store generally cost 59p to �5 (although I did get a GPS one for a lot
more), and you end up thinking 'Ooh, �1.59, hmmm.. it is a bit of an
expensive one, should I get it?' and then wander off and buy a sandwich
for �2.

You mean the guitar tab toolkit then? Would be great on the iPad's
bigger screen:
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/tabtoolkit/id325946571?mt=8

My favourite, though not strictly just guitar is called Thumb Jam:
Does for cracking lead guitar performances, complete with vibrator and
bends, but also keys, drums, bass, strings, trumpet. You name it, it
does it.
http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/thumbjam/id338977566?mt=8

Check out some of the vids on their website:

It's not strictly a guitar app but I've found this one, Karajan, quite
good for ear training, albeit a bit pricey for an iPhone app:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id284444548?mt=8

There's a free version too but I upgraded to the paid version ages ago
so, sorry, can't remember what the limitations were with the free
version.

This is the free version:

I can also vouch for ThumbPad - a superb piece of software, i've
already used it on recordings. Didn't know about the vibrator option
though....

Currently on my "music" page on my iphone are:

Wickifon
Melody
iReal Book
FourTrack
iStroboSoft tuner
TabToolkit
JR Hexatone
Wivi Band
Ocarina
ProChords
GuitarToolkit
NLogSynth
ThumbJam
TonePad
MusicStudio
Steel Guitar
Noise.io Pro

ALL of them are recommended, but from a guitar point of view, i'd say
GuitarToolkit and TabToolkit, and also ProChords is very useful for
song-writing.
