The tuner listens through your microphone, works out which string you're playing and goes green when you're within 3 cents. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. The tuner is also in the menu at the top of every page.

See Mentorship PlansChoose an exercise from the list, then set the key, scale and position. The tab is written out for you and plays back with a click, so you can hear exactly how it should sound before you play along. Every exercise runs up the position, comes straight back down and lands on the root, so it loops smoothly.
Set the tempo, turn the metronome on or off, and choose a count-in of one, two or four bars. Everything is written in 8th notes. Double time plays it twice as fast against the same click, which is a great way to push your speed without losing your sense of the beat. Turn on Loop and keep going until it feels easy.
Click anywhere on the tab to start playback from that point. To drill one tricky part, click and drag across it: the highlighted beats loop when you press Play, so you can repeat just the bit that's tripping you up. On a phone, tap to choose where it starts and drag sideways to loop. From the start takes you back to the top.
No. Everything is written as tab, and you can hear it played back before you try it, so you know exactly how it should sound.
It means playing the scale in short overlapping runs: in 3s you play notes 1, 2, 3, then 2, 3, 4, then 3, 4, 5, and so on. Sequences like these build speed, accuracy and a much better knowledge of each position.
Yes. Switch the I play option at the top to bass and choose 4, 5 or 6 strings. The exercises are rewritten for the instrument you pick.
Yes. Click and drag across the tab to highlight the beats you want, then press Play and they loop until you stop. Click anywhere on the tab to start from that point instead, or press From the start to go back to the top.
If you're new to sequences, start with the minor pentatonic in 3s, then the major scale in 3s. Both build the hand coordination everything else relies on.
