This article reviews GuitEarIt, a computer game that trains you to recognize guitar chords by ear. I have found it to be a fun and effective way to develop my listening skills. Read the review to learn how GuitEarIt can help you improve your ability to recognize guitar chords by ear.

Learning to recognize chords by ear is an important part of learning to play the guitar. It will help you identify the chords of your favorite songs so you can learn to play them. You’ll also be able to join a jam session or play along with a band more easily when you can recognize chords and chord changes by ear.

What is?

GuitEarIt makes training your ears fun by making it an easy game to play. It is a software program for PC or Mac computers that will allow you to practice recognizing guitar chords by ear.

How do you use it?

GuitEarIt plays back a series of chords strummed on a guitar and offers four multiple choice options for the chord sequence that was played.

You must identify the correct sequence of chords to earn points. You have up to four tries to identify the correct chords, but the more you try, the fewer points you get.

Your goal is to get enough points to go to the next level, where you will be trained to play more guitar chords in more complex progressions. As the games get progressively more difficult, the recognition of more varied chords gets better and better.

For whom it is?

GuitEarIt is very easy to play and can be used by any guitarist who wants to improve their chord recognition skills. The game requires no guitar playing skills, making it suitable for both beginners and more advanced players. It is also very easy for children to use.

You will get the most benefit from GuitEarIt if you use it regularly; the ideal is a small session every day. It only takes five minutes to play a set, so it shouldn’t be too difficult, even for guitarists short on time.

GuitEarDoes not include training to recognize melodies or rhythms. Instead, it focuses on recognizing chords and is a useful tool if that’s what you want to do.

conclusion

GuitEarIt is a simple but very well designed game that really works. Regular practice has brought me a noticeable improvement in my chord recognition skills.

For only $29.95 it’s a good investment in your guitar playing and musical skills.
