YOUR STRINGS. YOUR SOUND.
Small phrases.
Real progress.
Hear it. Find it. Play it. Explore riffs, chord rhythms, cross-string phrases and bass grooves. Five evolving two-bar exercises build each lesson into music.
BUILT FOR YOUR FIRST NOTE
Meet your guitar—or your bass.
String names, a relaxed hand, finger numbers, and the first clean sound. Start here before your daily practice.
Your welcome voice is ready. Tap to hear it.
MEET YOUR INSTRUMENT
Find your first clean note.

Before you begin
- Support the instrument so your fretting hand can move freely.
- Fretting fingers: index 1, middle 2, ring 3, little finger 4. Thumb rests behind the neck.
- Press close behind the fret wire using the lightest pressure that gives a clean sound.
- On bass, alternate plucking index and middle fingers and mute strings you are not playing.
- On classical guitar, p = thumb, i = index, m = middle, a = ring on the plucking hand.
Start slowly. Use small position shifts instead of forcing a wide stretch. Stop when uncomfortable.
THE LEARNING PATH
Technique becomes music.
Every lesson contains five original, two-bar exercises. Complete all five to finish the lesson. Change instruments above to explore a separate path.
Count 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. Audio stays silent during microphone assessment.
Outline = next position · Green = matched pitch · Red = wrong pitch. A microphone hears pitch; it cannot know which string or finger you used.
Phrase lab & input options
MIDI access starts only when you connect.
Section loops build muscle memory. Restore the whole two-bar exercise to advance.
Microphone practice checks single notes. Intermediate chord lessons also offer experimental chord listening. Use a clean sound; switch to arpeggios or self-review when recognition is unreliable. Timing checks measure note onsets, not articulation, posture or tone.
YOUR PRACTICE COMPANIONS
Tune up. Lock in. Play along.
Chromatic tuner
Pluck one open string and let it ring. Low B on a bass needs a microphone that captures low frequencies.
Flat ← In tune → Sharp
A4 = 440 Hz. Tap a string name to hear its reference pitch.
Groove & song lab
Your 16-step groove
Tap steps to write a beat. Each four steps make one beat: 1 e and a.
Kick, snare, closed hat and shaker. Original synthesized drums.
Ready for your groove
Original instrumental tracks. Bass players can mute the backing bass and supply their own line.
Your song stays on this device. Imported songs must be selected again after reloading; original backing tracks work offline.
Muscle-memory routine
Find each position with relaxed hands.
Play a two-bar loop three times.
Hide note names and hear the phrase in your head.
Use the phrase over a backing track. Leave space.
