How to practice, in detail
3 games — pick a game first from the chord or scale practice list (you can also switch on the stage screen). Stars = number of games passed.
- Fret chords on screen: Alternate between A and E 10 times. Strings you don't play (×) are blocked automatically, so just tap the cells for your finger positions. Your time is your record (hints add +3 s). ★
- Fret chords on guitar: Turn on the camera and mic, then switch between A and E on your real guitar, strumming once each — the chord is checked by sound and you move on. There's no tempo; your time is your record. ★
- Chord rhythm game: When A·E blocks scroll in at 60 BPM, strum that chord on your real guitar on every beat in the block. On-beat hits score PERFECT·GOOD; 70%+ PERFECT+GOOD passes ★
