Chord Tone Trainer

Pick a progression, a key and an area of the neck. Press play and the chord tones light up in time with the changes, so you can hear each chord and see where its notes are while you play.

Chords
A7
I7
Bar 1 of 12
Root 3rd and 7th 5th

12-bar blues in A

Tap a chord to see its tones.

Stay in one area

Pick a five-fret area and keep your hand there. The point is to find the next chord's notes without jumping around the neck.

Aim at the change

The dots switch to the next chord half a beat before it arrives, so you can see where you're going in time to get there. Make it a full beat early if you need more warning.

Then stop looking

Once a progression feels familiar, switch the dots to On the change, then try it with your eyes closed. The dots are there to get you started.
