Switch to Chord Progression mode

At the top of the settings screen, toggle from Single Chord to Chord Progression. Select a progression from the list — the progression is a great starting point, used in hundreds of songs across every genre.

Tip Start in — it has no sharps or flats and is the easiest key to navigate on the keyboard.

Choose a Play Mode

Play Mode controls how the is played. Block plays all notes simultaneously. Arpeggio Up plays notes from lowest to highest. Strum plays them in quick succession. Try Block first, then experiment once you're comfortable with the shapes.

Enable BPM Goal Mode

Turn on BPM Goal Mode and set a target . The app tracks your accuracy and nudges the speed up toward your goal as you play cleanly.

Tip Set your goal higher than you can currently play. The app builds up gradually — your goal is a ceiling, not a starting point.

Turn on Hints while learning
