TL;DR: I created an online metronome that can progressively increase/decrease tempo over time and it gives you karma for every minute that you practice. Check it out here Also, fancy progress graphs/charts,leaderboard, ability to create exercises (Video Tabs Description PDF)
Hey r/WATMM,
I'm a guitarist and a web developer and created this to scratch my own itch to practice better. I hope you guys find it useful too. My primary problems that it solves are:
1) Improving on the metronome. The most popular piece of advice I've gotten for improving technique is to use a metronome and start slowly, gradually increasing tempo. I did this for many months and found the constant Metronome-tweaking to be annoying. I wanted an auto-pilot Metronome. Gitori is my attempt at an autopilot metronome.
2) I find practicing exercises/scales to be a bit boring. Especially taking the extra effort to practice everything in multiple keys
3) I lack the discipline to fix a minimum warmup period before trying to play faster. Having the whole practice workout laid out in front of me forces me to adhere.
4) My exercises and practice material are not organized in the same place. I have an ad-hoc collection of bookmarks/emails/books/CDs/PDFs Gitori allows me to create my own exercises and put all of them in one place.
5) I would like to track my progress by looking at data. I wanna know how long I practiced last week/month. Was I able to consistently practice 5 days a week last month? Can I play faster than I could a month ago?
The app works best in Chrome but it is functional in FF and Safari. I have no idea if it works in IE. I'm looking forward to your feedback.
