Loved by guitarists who show up.
The only practice tool that's kept me playing for over half a year. No more pen and paper or clunky spreadsheets, I can build my own exercises or pull from RiffQuest's high-quality pre-made ones and drop them straight into a routine. Gamification, leaderboards, and sharing plans with others keep it fun, and the community is fantastic. Best and easiest way to steer your guitar journey.
I've been playing for more years than I am prepared to admit, and this tool really stands out. Well-designed exercises, real progress tracking, and gamified extras that keep things fun.
I always struggled to stay motivated. RiffQuest tracks my progress and keeps me coming back through gamification. I play more regularly now.
No more spreadsheets. I can see at a glance how much time I've spent on each category, and the leaderboards keep me consistent.
Frequently asked questions
Who is this app for?
Riff Quest is for guitarists who want to turn their practice into visible progress. If you feel inconsistent, stuck, or just want a better way to track your repertoire, this is for you.
Is it for beginners or advanced guitarists?
It's designed for both. Beginners use it to stay motivated and track their first skills, while advanced players use it to manage complex repertoires and see where they stand in the community.
Do I have to practice every day to use it?
Absolutely not. We hate 'streak pressure.' Riff Quest is a companion that tracks your growth whenever you pick up the guitar, whether that's daily or just a few times a week.
Where do the song difficulty levels come from?
They are community-rated. Instead of a single expert deciding how hard a song is, the difficulty reflects the real-world experience of guitarists who have actually practiced and learned it.
How does progress tracking work?
The app automatically logs your sessions and skill development in areas like Technique, Theory, and Ear Training, giving you a clear bird's-eye view of your improvement.
Can I track my own custom songs and exercises?
Yes! You have full flexibility to log any song or exercise you're currently working on, keeping your practice organized and your progress visible.
How does the gamification (XP) help me?
By earning skill points and leveling up, you get a tangible sense of achievement for every minute spent with your guitar. It turns 'messy practice' into a rewarding progression system.
