Past the basics.
Now make it clean at tempo.
23 drills across the 8 skill areas a complete player needs. Practice mode waits for every note. Play mode scores the whole pass at tempo, and the coach tells you when to push faster.
The coach listens through your microphone, so a quiet room works best. Nothing is recorded or uploaded, and results stay in this browser.
Technique
Legato, sweeps, string skipping and in-tune bends at tempo.
Three Notes a String, G Major
Pick once per string and hammer the next two, up four strings and back.
A Minor Sweep, Five Strings
One continuous pick stroke across five strings, each note separate and clean.
String Skipping in Octaves
Jump over a string on every move: root, octave, third, octave through C, Am, F and G.
Bends That Land in Tune
Play the target note fretted, then bend from a lower fret up to the exact same pitch, a whole step or a half step.
Theory
Arpeggios, guide tones and modes you can hear and play, not just name.
Rhythm & timing
Syncopated sixteenths, triplets and displaced phrases against a steady grid.
Syncopated Sixteenths
Keep your hand moving in sixteenths and let only the written hits sound.
Three Over Two
Play quarter-note triplets, three even hits across every two beats.
Gear Shift: Triplets to Sixteenths
One bar of eighth-note triplets, one bar of sixteenths, back and forth.
Dotted-Eighth Displacement
Hits every three sixteenths, so the accent walks across the beat for three bars.
Ear training
Hear a sound, then find it on the neck before you look.
Fretboard knowledge
Every note, every octave, and movable shapes anywhere on the neck.
Improvisation
Land on chord tones, enclose targets and add color notes on purpose.
Repertoire
Original etudes that put the skills into complete pieces.
Tone
Vibrato control and pick dynamics, the parts of tone your hands own.
