Check what you play

Optional: the microphone or a MIDI instrument compares the note you play with the expected one.

Detection compares single notes: it doesn't judge fingering, tone or expression. Only you can assess that.

Technique tips

Keep your fingers close to the fretboard even when not playing.
Fret just behind the fret wire, on your fingertip.
Strictly alternate down-up picking.

Common mistakes

Lifting fingers too far between notes.
Squeezing with the thumb behind the neck.
Speeding up before it sounds clean.

How did it go?

Rate the exercise when you finish: it helps you decide what to review.
