Chromatic scale practice on guitar — ear training, play by ear — NoSheet

Root Shuffling

The root jumps to a new pitch periodically during gameplay — the same noteset is reseated on a fresh root, building the ability to summon the noteset by its type from any root. This makes playing in any key trivial.

Chromatic Scale

Using all notes within an octave

The chromatic scale uses all 12 pitch classes in every octave. It is not used like a diatonic scale, but comes up in theoretical contexts. Even when musicians play all 12 notes, the music usually still sounds rooted in a diatonic context, with the extra notes acting as passing or color tones.

On the guitar: six strings in standard tuning, the first twelve frets. Also called the chromatic, all notes, every note.
