The theory books, made interactive.

Five free tools a musician actually uses: the Circle of Fifths, a Metronome, the Groovebox, the Chord Library and the Fretboard Visualiser. The reference pages are free: no sign-up, no adverts.

Practise free
Circle of Fifths

Every key signature, relative minor and diatonic chord set.

Metronome

Clean and free, with tempo markings and subdivisions.

Groovebox

Grooves, song structure and cadences, with a band to play them.

Chord Library

How chords are built, and every shape.

Fretboard Visualiser

Every scale and mode, laid out on the instrument.

Built for the stretch after the beginning, when the songs stop being enough and the next step isn't obvious.

The reference page is the tool: read the circle of fifths, then play it, on the same page.

The practice room

A free account opens the practice room. Make a song with your band and save it, then take it to chord practice, strumming, the scale that fits, and free play over it.

  • The groovebox: a backbeat, an electronic kit and a chord progression, saved as My first song

    Make a song with your bandA backbeat, a new kit, a strum, a new chord. Saved.

  • Chord practice in C with the groovebox open at the side, playing My first song

    Take it to any practice screenYour song, behind chord practice

  • Free play over My first song: the notes of C major, the chord tones lit

    Free play over your songThe notes lit, the chord tones glowing

No card, and it never commits you to paying. On the way, free as each one arrives: Ear Training, Bass Grooves, Blues and Licks, Rhythm Grid.

One step at a time

  1. Now, free

    The reference pages explain the theory behind what you play, on your own instrument.

  2. Now, with a free account

    The practice room puts it under your hands, with a band to play along with.

  3. After launch, paid

    The Practice Diary keeps a record and shows what to work on next, in the order it has to come. It will be a paid option, clearly marked, and never sold to children.

  4. Coming

    Listening: Gressus hears what you actually play, and tells you the one thing to change. Alongside your teacher, never instead of them.
