Why this sound works
TRY ON YOUR GUITAR
High e is on top; low E is on the bottom. Numbers are frets; 0 is an open string. Match the notes, then make your own rhythm.

How to build a simple progression
Start with the home chord. Add one familiar chord to move away, then return home. Keep each chord for a bar and listen to the change. Try the suggested progressions first, then use Edit progression to change one chord at a time.
KNOW THE NECK · ONE STRING AT A TIME
Play around the circle
Pick a string, press Start, and play each note on your guitar as it sounds. Stay on that string through all twelve notes.

Take time to find the note. Pace changes apply to the next note.
Ready · a three-second count-in gives you time to reach your guitar.

High e at the top · low E at the bottom0 = open string · Dots mark frets 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12. Play either highlighted octave when there are two.
Make it a useful practice session
Start slowly on one string. Find the note before the next cue, say its name as you play it, and listen to whether it matches. Once a full circle feels comfortable, hide the fret positions or choose another string. Then reverse the direction.
These are note-finding jumps, not a scale run. Fourths and fifths visit all twelve pitches. F♯ and G♭ name the same fret.
