# Learn Guitar

Interactive guitar room on Sangeet Yatra. One book index in the sidebar — pages follow that spine, not parallel “tracks.”

Landing groups follow the book, beginner to advanced, each with a *Ready when* checkpoint: **1 Start here** · **2 Neck and names** · **3 First lead** · **4 Harmony on the neck** · **5 Technique** (labs linked from those lessons) · **6 Playing styles** · **7 Band and studio** · **Daily gym** (any level: Today, Hands, then one style page a session) · **Reference**.

## 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`, `notes.html`, the five style gym pages and `warmups.html`: 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.
