Challenge yourself
Challenge the communityYou think you know everything? Let's find out. Hear it, take a guess, then jump into the tool with the answer waiting for you. New challenges every month.
Can you find every G on the neck in 30 seconds?
The fretboard trainer times you, then drills the spots you miss.
Is this chord a C9 or a Gm6?
Same notes, two names. Tap a shape into the chord namer and it tells you every name it could go by.
Can you clap 3 against 2?
Three even beats in the time of two. Hear it, then mute one pulse and play it yourself.
How can the bass player change the key?
The guitar plays the same four chords twice. Only the bass note underneath changes.

Plug in or use the mic and tune to the needle.
Tempo, subdivisions, click sounds and a practice timer.
Build a strumming pattern and hear it on real chords: downs, ups, ghosts and chucks on a grid, the hand that never stops, a ramp and a tap test.
Build a picking pattern and hear it plucked on real chords: fingerstyle (p i m a, Travis picking, rolls) or hybrid picking (pick plus m and a, pops and strums), a ramp and a thumb-only mode.
Solo over a loop with a neck that keeps up: chord tones, the scale of the moment, avoid notes and the next chord's target. Copy or answer phrases, trade fours, play under rules, and hear where your notes land.
Slow a song down without changing its pitch, loop the hard bars and speed up a little each time.
Two pulses at once: 3 against 2, 4 against 3, groups of 3 over sixteenths. Mute one and play it yourself.
7/8, 5/4, 9/8 and bars that change every measure, drawn to scale with the groups you count. Meter maps of Take Five, Money, Tool and Dream Theater, or write your own.
Timed drills that learn your weak spots and chase them down.
React and solo over random chords, no labels, from consonant to dissonant. Train your ear the way the sounds actually come at you.
An ear-training game on the scale wheel.
Every key, its relative minor and its chords, and hear them.
Spell any scale and rotate through its modes.
Every music theory and guitar term the site uses, in a sentence or two, with a link to the page that shows it. Searchable.
Pick the notes you're playing and see every scale they could be, with its chords.
Every interval from a root to its octave: its names, solfège, numeral and number, on the staff in any key. Hear each one and remember it by a famous song.
Happy, sad, dark, dreamy, Spanish… find a scale by how it feels, or see every scale brightest to darkest.
The modes on one root, brightest to darkest: each step down changes one note. See it on the circle of fifths and hear the difference.
Progressions and whole tunes to play over, as a lead sheet or wrapped round a circle, comped with held chords, on 1 and 3, or every beat.
Every chord and scale is a shape on the circle of notes: click notes, see the shape, hear it and find its name.
Harmonise any scale into triads and sevenths.
Where can the next chord go? Every chord a key offers, from the safe middle outward, and which ones work next. Click to hear, build a progression as you go.
I–V–vi–IV, ii–V–I, the 12-bar blues and more: pick a key and a scale and hear them.
See any scale on the neck, in any tuning.
Tap any voicing and get every name it could go by.
The chords of a scale one note at a time: one notes-per-string shape laid on all seven, or every position on the neck. Hear them up, down and in threes.
Each mode in five notes: its seventh chord plus the one note that makes it Dorian, Lydian or Phrygian. On the neck, over a drone, with the triads stacked above it.
Play the arpeggio of every chord as a progression or a whole tune goes by: the shape for each bar, the root sliding along one string. Hear it, then play it.
Draw scales, chord shapes and arpeggios on the neck; save them to your materials or export a picture.
