Why This Exercise Matters

Adding accidentals forces full chromatic command of the neck, not just the natural notes. The faster rotation builds quick recall under mild time pressure — the bridge from knowing the fretboard to using it in real time.

How to Practice

  1. 1A target note appears and changes every 20 seconds — it can now be a sharp/flat (e.g. F#, A#).
  2. 2Enable Pitch Detect so the app verifies each hit and tracks which octaves you've found.
  3. 3Find and play the note on every string and in every octave before the timer rotates.

Tips & Techniques

  • Sharps sit one fret above their natural note — anchor off the natural you already know.
  • Say the full note name out loud as you play it, including 'sharp'.
  • Use octave shapes (2 strings up + 2 frets up) to jump between octaves quickly.
  • Don't worry about rhythm; focus on accuracy and speed of location.
