      About timing accuracy

      Read chords

      Several notes at once on the staff. Play them one string at a time, from the lowest upward β€” that is how you check you have really fingered the chord, and it is the only way the microphone can hear whether each note is right.

      Press start, then play the chord you see.

      Chord shapes

      Pick a chord and see where the fingers go. Γ— means do not play that string, β—‹ means play it open, and the numbers are which finger.

      Tuner

      Play one string at a time. It listens for the nearest open string and tells you which way to turn the peg.

      -500+50
      β€”
      Play a string.

      Tap a string to tune only that one. A tick means it held in tune for half a second.

      Metronome

      Works on its own β€” no microphone needed.

      80bpm

      Tap four times in time to set the tempo.

      What you actually know

      Every position, coloured by fluency

      Green is fast and accurate. Amber is correct but slow β€” that is not learned yet. Red needs work. Grey has not come up yet. Dashed means it is not part of this stage.

      Holding you back

      1. Nothing yet β€” play a session first.

      Moving on

      Sync across your devices
