# Learn Guitar

Interactive guitar room on Sangeet Yatra. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced tracks live on the same pages — not as extra nav items.

Landing groups (hubs, not every leaf): **Start here** · **Practice gym** (style pages live inside Drills / Exercises) · **Picking** (labs linked from those lessons) · **Theory** · **Reference** · **More** (Kids, Quest).

## Audio

`js/guitar-core.js` plays University of Iowa MIS guitar notes (MP3s in [`samples/guitar/`](samples/guitar/CREDITS.md)), with a synth fallback while files decode. Shared Sa / drone / metro: `SangeetPracticeBar`.

`js/guitar-drills.js` is the drill runner used by `drills.html`, `exercises.html`, the five drill style pages, and the five exercise style pages: one walk or one metronome-locked loop at a time. Play becomes Stop on the same button.

`js/guitar-scales.js` powers **Scales**, **Modes**, **CAGED**, Solo exercise variants, and related v2 pages: intervals, fretboard mapping, variants, and shape systems.
