I'd be lying if I didn't say I am a bit nervous about showing you this one 😅
I have been trying to up my coding skills, as there are so many improvements I want to be able to add to the site. Since I am a fan of "practicing by doing" - I have tried to create a little GMC game. It's still very raw with bugs / beta layout etc - but if you want to try it out here is the link. >>>Listings page<<< This post has been edited by Kristofer Dahl: Jan 25 2022, 10:07 AM
Reason for edit: New game/lessons added

Checking it out now after this post. I noticed the "Students" in the menu too. Has there been a post about that which I've missed? Just tried it now. I had no idea what I was really supposed to do - so probably a more in-depth description needed at some point. Made me laugh though! |

Great idea Kris, I scored 80, not sure of the terminology though. Also when you use the "try again" option, the buttons don't come back.
I'm sure this could expand into something great

I played it on my Android tablet and the buttons were underneath, the ones with "Vai style slide" etc. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Jan 14 2022, 06:10 PM) Aha ok! Will test on android now. I added the refresh option: Works a treat buddy, nice one. I'm wondering if you could do a game with three option for answers, Sharp Flat and Pitch where we could guess if the bent note was sharp, flat or at pitch? Or something along those lines?

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Jan 14 2022, 09:56 PM) Hehe true, but before we can hire a full team of developers I would prioritize carefully 😅 Btw I plan to make it easy to add some more lessons for this skillZ game. So if you have any lesson suggestions I am all ears. For example - we could also apply it on harmony, so the buttons would feature chords and scales instead. (The current game only has the harmonic minor button) There's lots that could be done I think but obviously it down to resources. There could be different skill levels, on a scale on 1-10 I would say the current one is 7 or 8. The player has to spot multiple things and it's tricky to just use sight to spot some of them therefore forcing the player to use their ears. I never spotted harmonic minor, I wouldn't even know what it sounds like  I think each game could have a summary of what the buttons mean, some people might not know what glissando vibrato is, or a Vai style slide when if they've used the technique. In lower level games I think things like the pitch game that I already suggested would be good. Maybe a game called "Odd One Out" where you play the 'A' (obviously this opens up twelve games) all over the neck and sometimes play an incorrect note. In lower levels of this game you could play the incorrect notes way off, for instance a D or an E (I'm still not sure I'd spot that  ) and in the next level up maybe a B or a G and then higher up, A# or G#A simpler version of the current game would be good, maybe playing something slower with more basic techniques to spot, Playing chords and the player has to determine if they are major or minor. I'm sure there are lots of ideas that people will come up with. It's all about developing listening skills /ear training but I think this concept is great because the player is seeing a real world piece of music being played, so it's also developing the eye to ear link so when they go and watch a band, they can use this skill to try to work things out. The eye can help the ear that isn't so sure of itself  I hope this gives some food for thought. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Very cool brainstorming Phil -
I am starting to feel that a ’low level’ game that combines many of these ideas into a workshop type of game could be really cool! |

Yeah it has to be a term that fits into a small button… which can be tricky
Btw I hope to have some solution for explaining the terms up next week. Thanks for the suggestion 👊 |

Wou!! This is very cool! I first tried the easy one and then got this grade with the Articulate it! lesson!
 This is a very funny way to learn about techniques and train our ears. It's an excellent idea Kris, great job!! -------------------- My lessons
