The hits just keep on coming for iPhone and iPod Touch owners. The D’Addario company (maker of fine guitar strings and other musical instrument accessories) announces a guitar player’s assistant through their Planet Waves division. Read their description and offer details below.

Guitar Tools is the ultimate hand-held utility kit for guitar players of any style or skill level, brought to you by Planet Waves.

Inside Guitar Tools you'll find:

	CHORDS Explore a library of more than 7,000 guitar chords by simply tapping and strumming the touch screen. View chords in every position up and down the guitar neck and hear each one played back in pristine audio. There’s even a "lefty" mode for the oft-neglected southpaw.

	CHORD FINDER You know how to play it, but what do you call it? Select frets and finger positions to discover the proper name for your chord.

	SCALES Improve your technique by choosing from thousands of scales, modes and arpeggios to practice. Try multiple positions and alternate tunings to boost your versatility. Use "big stretches" for unique, challenging fingerings.
