PracticeSuite PRO benefits

A revolutionary approach to guitar practice and learning music

Emuso/PracticeSuite PRO provides all the tools you need. It uses a revolutionary approach for amazing results that you’ll love. This will take your practice to the next level and beyond, all the way to advanced guitarist.

We strip music concepts back to the core so there’s so much less to learn and remember, compared to learning by notation, note names, or by TAB. Music is about relationships between sounds, these being intervals. Much theory can be explained in terms of intervals, either for showing where chords are rooted in a scale, or for showing the make-up of a chord or scale. So intervals are always visualised, heard, and quickly associated with shapes on interactive instrument (“guitar”, “bass”, “piano”).

You learn using a toolkit and interactive content which include auto-correcting tests taken on the above instruments. For example, the content may ask you to create a scale and it will check the intervals are correct, and you can ask to see and hear the correct answer if you made a mistake.

BENEFITS

Easily understand the fretboard and absorb musical concepts, resulting in steady progress, new ideas, new pathways on the fretboard.
Grow your vocabulary and understand how to use chords, inversions, and scales, to create emotional responses, and learn to recognise their sounds by ear.
Understand basic theory, off and on the guitar, on your first day with no previous knowledge.
Develop the ability to understand the note choices used by your favourite players.
Use or rapidly create exercises and melodic studies (scale practice, arpeggios etc.) for new ideas, improved technique and timing.
Explore all aspects of rhythm, visually, no music notation.
Interactive content lets you test yourself “on-instrument”… we auto-correct. You see and hear the difference.

Scales

Scale library provides wide range of scales. These can be layed out on the fretboard in many ways. Or create your own scales. Hover mouse over scale note to see/hear tertian/quartal chord rooted at the scale note or pentatonic with tonic at the scale note. Relocate scale anywhere with mouse.

By region
CAGED
By box (1 string to all strings)
3 notes per string
entire fretboard

Vertical scale-aware pattern translations (with chromatics) constrained within initial scale shape
Assign new tonic within scale shape (modes)

Chords

Chord library provides wide range of editable chords or create your own. Relocate chord anywhere with mouse. Hover over chord note with mouse to hear individual note. This helps pick out inner voices when chord is then listened to.

Automatic: Click on scale note and current chord quality from scale is generated
Chord quality: From triads to thirteenths and quartal triads and sevenths
Horizontal (along string) inversions
Vertical (across strings) inversions
