Short drills that make theory automatic on the guitar: notes on the neck, intervals, chord spelling, keys, Roman numerals and modes. Three levels, and the questions you miss come back more often.
Add BPM every bars, up to BPM.
Play bars, then go quiet for . Keep playing through the gap and see if you land back in time.
Stop after minutes.
Your hand keeps moving down and up the whole time. The boxes only show when it touches the strings.

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 PlansPick a drill, choose your level and answer as many questions as you can. Each answer shows why it's right, and the trainer keeps track of what you miss so those questions come back more often. Your score, streak and weak spots are saved in this browser.
Do one drill for two minutes a day rather than all of them once a week. When you can do a level without thinking, move up. Then use what you've learnt straight away: find the notes on the Fretboard Navigator, or hear the intervals in the Ear Trainer.
Learn the notes on the low E and A strings first, then use octave shapes to find the same notes on the other strings. Short daily quizzes, a couple of minutes at a time, work much better than long sessions.
No, but a little goes a long way. Knowing the notes, intervals and the chords in a key makes it much easier to learn songs, improvise and write your own music.
They number the chords in a key by the scale note they start on. In C major, I is C, IV is F and V is G. Upper case means major and lower case means minor, so a progression like I V vi IV works in any key.
Each mode is a major scale started from a different note, which changes which notes sound like home. Dorian is minor with a major 6th, Lydian is major with a sharp 4th, and Mixolydian is major with a flat 7th.
Yes. Your scores, streak and weak spots are remembered in this browser, so you can pick up where you left off.
