One practice, several starting points
What would you like to
discover today?
A map for notes, a reference for your ear, a tool beside your guitar. Choose the feature that fits your study goal.
The fretboard becomes more than
a set of frets.
Play positions on the virtual fretboard, reveal notes and connect regions and octaves. Use free exploration to investigate and practice to check what feels familiar.
- The link between string, fret and note.
- Sound references and a map of note locations.
- Exercises from position to note and note to position.
An idea to get started
Find a note.
Then find it again.
Choose a note, see where it appears and find the same pitch class in another region. Listen and compare. The aim is to build a connection, beyond memorising a point.
Ear training
also means making connections.
Hear notes in relation to a reference, compare intervals and connect sound with an answer. Listen → find brings that connection to the virtual fretboard.
Listen to examples carefully, revisit a mistake and return to practice. References use the app's own sounds and do not need streaming.
What you practise
- Recognising relationships between notes.
- Connecting sound with fretboard positions.
- Repeated listening and comparing examples.
- Reviewing answers with feedback.
Ear training in the app does not recognise everything you play on a real guitar.
Content to browse.
Exercises to practise.
The Learning Path offers activities in sequence, while libraries and tools allow free browsing. Revisit an explanation and return to the exercise with context.
Sessions include musical questions and feedback. Visiting a screen, hearing a preview and completing an assessment are different actions; one does not replace another.
A study cycle
Understand.
Try.
Check.
Return.
The catalogue continues to grow. The app does not promise a fully validated curriculum from beginner to advanced or certify musical mastery.
More context for
your next shape.
Look up chords by name or symbol, explore families and use shapes as references. Find scales and note relationships to expand your study options.
Riffs and studies offer material with a musical purpose. Availability depends on your version's catalogue; the app does not offer any commercial song on demand.
When a question comes up
- Search chord symbols and names such as Em and E minor.
- Browse chord and power chord shapes.
- Explore scales and positions on the instrument.
- Take references and studies into real practice.
In tune with sound.
Connected to the pulse.
Use the tuner to follow one string at a time and the metronome as a timing reference. Choose a comfortable speed and focus on consistency.
The tuner requests microphone access when you start listening. The signal is analysed locally. Noise, pickups and the instrument can affect the reading.
Try this
- Tune in a quiet place.
- Play one string and let the sound settle.
- Start the pulse at a comfortable speed.
- Stop practising if you feel pain or discomfort.
Your history helps
you choose what comes next.
View assessments, correct and incorrect answers, activities and your local calendar. Enable reminders if they suit your routine and explore shortcuts available on your system.
Activity records show what you did in the app. They are not a universal measure of skill or a substitute for observing your real performance.
Reminders without pressure
A little help to return.
The pace is still yours.
Reminders depend on permission and system rules. You can turn them off. Progress stays on your device with no automatic sync.
