Ode to Joy

Ludwig van Beethoven (1824) — public domain · D major

D and A strings, first position. Mostly stepwise — your first dotted rhythm.

Setup

Written at 120. Slower is not cheating.

How strict

Within 25 cents counts as in tune.

Click

Headphones keep the click and the guide melody out of the microphone. On speakers, both get scored as if you played them.

Timing calibration

If the trace consistently sits ahead of or behind the notes, nudge this. Positive values treat your playing as later than it was measured.
