What you're practicing

A chord is several notes at once — a root and the intervals above it — and the way its notes sit on an instrument is a voicing. The major and minor triads are about 80% of the chords in popular music, and they differ by one semitone: the third.

Build Shapes is the app's chord flashcard. A chord sounds, its root is shown, and the work is hearing the quality — major or minor — and placing the rest: the basic shapes first, then the useful spread ones, then the inversions. Any root, or the triads of a key by degree, which connects harmony to melody and lets you find a progression's chords anywhere. Then the loop: a progression plays, each chord's shape lit as it sounds — nothing to answer, play over it.

On the bass: four strings in standard tuning, the first twelve frets. The 2 exercises above are the loop with the chords decided — the panel still offers every setting, and a link carries yours.
