Interval Hunt

Why This Exercise Matters

Intervals are the building blocks of melody and harmony. Translating an interval into a note and finding it instantly on the neck trains the ear-to-hands link that underpins improvising and playing by ear.

How to Practice

1. 1A root note and an interval appear (e.g. 'A · Perfect 5th ↑') — work out the target note and play it.
2. 2Enable Pitch Detect so the app confirms your answer; the note reveals once you nail it.
3. 3A fresh interval appears every 12 seconds, so commit to an answer quickly.

Tips & Techniques

• •Count semitones from the root if unsure: a Perfect 5th is 7 frets up on one string.
• •Use shapes you already know — the 5th sits 2 strings up at the same fret.
• •Say the target note name out loud before playing it.
• •Octave doesn't matter — play the target in whichever register is easiest.
