Our principle

You can learn something from everyone.

Every player has something to teach, whether they started last month or twenty years ago. Tonetest is built so that everyone helps someone, and every bit of help makes the helper better too.

One step ahead is enough

Anyone who has passed an exercise can review it. The player who passed it last week still remembers exactly what made it click.

Reviewing is practice

Listening closely to someone else's take trains your own ear. Every review you give makes you a sharper player.

Many voices, one verdict

Three reviewers with different levels and styles each hear something different. Together they give you the full picture.

Inside Tonetest

One skill tree, built around you.

A first look at the skill tree and review flow we are building.

See your whole journey at once.

Every exercise is a star. Pass one and it lights up, bringing the next stars within reach. Rings mark each level, and every level ends in capstones that bring its skills together.

Chords & rhythm 11/12
Theory 8/10
Lead & melody 5/10
Technique 5/7
Ear training 3/8

Grow in the directions you love.

Chords and rhythm, lead, technique, theory and ear training grow side by side. Push your favorite area as far as it goes, with just enough of the others to stay well-rounded.

Always more than one way forward.

A new level opens once you have passed something in every area and one of its capstones. Bridges show where one skill builds on another, and alternative routes let you choose your own path.

Reviewed by players who passed it.

Three players who have passed the exercise listen to your take, check it against clear criteria and leave timestamped notes. Two passes and it counts.

@capo_kai

First chords: A, D & E

0:00 / 0:46

Mock take: playback is simulated and there is no audio in this prototype.

Clean change into D, nice and relaxed.
The open A string is muted under your ring finger here.

What reviewers listen for

Every string in the chord rings clearly, with only the right strings strummed
Fingertips sit just behind the frets
Makes at least 20 clean changes between two chords in one minute

@riffwrightPass
Clean and confident. The changes land right on the beat.
@fretwork_anaPass
Solid take. Watch the A string around 0:24, but this is a pass from me.
@bendthebluesNot yet
Almost there. Arch your ring finger a little more so the A string rings in E.

2 of 3 passed. The next exercises are unlocked.
