Learning guitar

[madscijr]

My ap won't play "chords" per se, it will play single tones through the SOUND command, so it's nothing that sophisticated. I envisioned the ap to be a visual aid to the guy with a guitar in his lap for navigating the fret board. Oh, and a tonic (or root) note is the first note in a scale and the note for which the scale is named (i.e. C is the tonic of the C major scale). In my ap, the tonic is indicated by the solid color mark with the SIN gradient. The others are flat colored and pie sliced by their position in the scale progression.

OK, gotcha. Now I know what a tonic note is. 
(How did these crazy names for things come about anyway?? LoL)
Thanks!
