Guessing the root
You can test yourself on roots only or root AND extension. Press “Guess a New
Root” and you'll hear a root played.
Press this button to hear the root-to-guess replayed. If you need help, press
[Play Tonic – C] to hear the root again.
When you think you know the root, press the root name on the list of note
names at the left.
If you guess incorrectly, you'll see a message that says “Wrong Root.” You'll
then hear the note that you guessed playing, followed by the root-to-guess
note again.
If you guess correctly, you'll see a confirmation of that, and can play again.
Press the [Stop] button to stop the game.
Guessing the Root and the Extensions
The Guess a New Chord game works in the same way as the Root game, except that
here you are guessing chord extensions. The root is always whatever the setting is at
the left. Click on the extension to guess, and [Replay Chord] button to hear the chord again.
In this mode, you need to guess both
the Root and the Extension. You can guess
them in any order.
