The Offspring band has partnered with the award-winning creators of Rock Prodigy to design The Offspring: Rock Prodigy App. This interactive app plays like a game but uses any real guitar to teach real music skills. The app acts as a personal music teacher, walking through each song note-for-not as transcribed from The Offspring. The app also gives you tips directly from Dexter Holland and Noodles. With multiple skill levels, the app provides you with instant feedback.

Dexter Holland says, “We have the greatest fans in the world and we’re totally stoked for them to get their fingers on the frets and try this out.”

With over 2.5 hours of songs and lessons, the app includes “Come Out and Play,” “The Kids Aren’t Alright,”, and “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid.” ‘Micro Lessons’ are also available to get fans playing the songs faster than ever. Each lesson covers subjects like punk rock rhythms, power chords, and East Indian scales. The app even features a leader board to see how you stack up against other fans.
