I will pay anywhere from $1 to $5 to eliminate ads, so this is a good value, considering the free apps almost all have ads, if I recall. Or are provided by one of the larger guitar companies and promote their subscription/learning platforms?

I find the idea that $1 is a "hard sell" laughable, but unfortunately for software devs that is the world we find ourselves in when trying to monetize an idea.

Same. If I see a free app and a $1 app that does the same thing, I'll probably go for the $1 app.
Well, there are also already at least dozen free ones that allow to buy ad-less versions

and it's hard sell because you can just pick any of them, test to your liking and pay for one after using it.
