Keep sessions short
Ten questions is enough for a focused pass. Stop before your ear gets tired and the answers turn into guesses.

What this tool helps with
- Recognize intervals, chord qualities, scales, and modes by sound instead of only by theory.
- Practice short repeatable sessions with a fixed number of questions.
- Use easier presets first, then narrow or expand the answer pool when your ear improves.
- Train musical context with degrees, progressions, and dictation instead of only isolated sounds.
How to Practise Ear Training for Guitar
Do short sessions and keep the answer pool clear. Your ear learns better from clean repeats than from long guessing runs.
Start with simple sounds
Intervals and chord types are good first drills. They give you sounds you can connect to riffs, chords, and songs.
Sing the answer first
Hum the distance, chord color, or scale sound before clicking. Singing makes the answer less abstract.
Bring it back to guitar
After a drill, find the same sound on the fretboard. Ear training sticks better when your hands know where it lives.

FAQ
Where should I start?
Start with Intervals or Chords. They are the most direct ear-training modes and give you a clearer foundation before moving into scales, modes, degrees, or dictation.
Do I need perfect pitch?
No. Most of this tool is for relative pitch: hearing distance, colour, chord quality, scale sound, and musical function.
Why are Scales and Modes separate?
Because they train different listening habits. Scales focus on scale colours like major, minor, pentatonic, or blues. Modes focus on diatonic mode colours like Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, and Mixolydian.
