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
- Find the root in each position before playing.
- Practise moving from one position to the next.
Common mistakes
- Playing the shapes as drawings without knowing where the root is.
