Racchord

Learn guitar chords by strumming them

Every lesson pairs one chord with one strum pattern on a slow metronome. The tempo climbs only when you say the round was clean.

Strum first

Strum first, no speed pressure

The tempo ladder starts at 50 BPM and climbs 5 BPM after a round you mark clean.

You mark each round yourself: "That was clean" or "Not yet". The app never grades you.
