This is the app I was begging for a few years ago!
Ended up buying a ton of Ear Training books and using those little web apps.
This would have been so much better.
I just started using it,
I will say, I feel we can skip the chords annotations and stuff if the ICP is intermediate guitarist.
Or do a quick survey at the start and see what fundamentals they know.
For intermediate guitar, I think the main gaps are:
- Ear training (unless they were taught early)
- triads + inversions
- Music theory beyond basic pentatonic shapes
- Synchronization at higher speeds (this was my biggest one by far)
- Chords beyond basic ones and M/m 7th.
I feel you could add little quiz or survery to see if they are already familiar with some of these.
just my 2 cents
Overall, love this. Very happy someone took the time to do it.
When I first started working on the app I actually mostly meant to go only with a quiz + flashcards approach with little to no explanation but this felt a bit rough and I was affraid most users would just give up on it too quickly.
Also I think some users might have learned guitar theory a different way and might not be too familiar with diagrams, such as classical guitarists.
Hence why I added all these lessons with more details including beginner ones.
I might add something in the vein of a "practice page" with only challenges and the ability to create custom ones in the future for more advanced users + a change to a more interactive onboarding that actually asks what you want rather than showcase the app, we'll see...
Most of the docs about the language itself live on swift.org (e.g. https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-pr...). I've had pretty good luck getting Claude to write modern Swift code by saying things like "Use Swift 6 structured concurrency instead of GCD". But I could totally see expanding sosumi to include swift.org content, too.
