# Learn Guitar — Quest Mode

> Interactive page: [`quest.html`](quest.html)

Three challenges, three tracks. Same games get harder. Points and stars stay on this browser (`localStorage` key `guitar-quest-v1`). Track choice is saved separately (`guitar-quest-level-v1`).

## Technique path

When the games feel easy but the hands still stuck: [Alternate](alternate.md) · [Economy](economy.md) · [Sweep](sweep.md) · [Break rut](break-rut.md).

## Pick a track

- **Beginner** — G → C → D. Notes in the first three frets. Ear: first six open chords. No time limit. Stars at 8 / 6 / 6.
- **Intermediate** — adds Em. Full first-position notes. Ear: first ten. 2.5 seconds to click the change. Stars at 12 / 8 / 8.
- **Advanced** — adds F, Bm, and sevenths. 1.4 seconds to click. Stars at 16 / 10 / 10. Advanced here is speed and recognition — not jazz.

1. **Chord-change timing** — click the next chord as it is named. A clean streak earns a star. Intermediate and Advanced add a time window.
2. **Fretboard note ID** — a marker lights on the neck; name the pitch.
3. **Ear challenges** — hear a chord, pick the matching diagram. The pool follows the track.

Practice the shapes first on [Open chords](chords.md).
