The tuner analyzes real pitch through your mic with cent-level precision. Audio is processed locally, never uploaded.

One Website for All Your Guitar Fundamentals

The hardest part of learning guitar is not sore fingertips — it is consistency. Learning science keeps proving that short, frequent, feedback-rich practice beats a three-hour weekend binge. Beyond Strings turns everything a beginner needs daily — rhythm, right-hand plucking, left-hand fretting, tuning and ear training — into tools that open in a browser: no app, no account, just fifteen focused minutes a day.

Whether you just bought your first guitar or want to sharpen your fundamentals: lock in your rhythm with the online metronome, master the 5-3-2-3-1-3-2-3 fingerpicking pattern in right-hand practice, conquer chord transitions and spider walks with the left hand, tune up with the mic tuner, and build musicality with ear training. Every tool ships with explanations and progressive difficulty — pair them with our 30-day practice plan and watch yourself improve.
