Pico now talks you through every lesson. • Every level is introduced by Pico: he says the title, then explains it in a few simple words. Lessons are now written the way a teacher would say them. • New: learn to read note lengths. A new lesson shows whole, half, quarter and eighth notes, and you can hear each one while you count along. • New: nine short reading etudes to practise note values and rests. You can listen to each one, then play it. • Every chord and chord progression now tells you how it feels, for example happy, sad or dreamy, and Pico shows the mood on his face. • Beginners can now start with chords, songs, melodies and strumming whichever guitar they play. • Back and next buttons moved onto the lesson card, where they are easier to reach. • A smoother iPad layout, with more space and larger text. • Smoother page transitions, and many small fixes.

Meet Pico, your new practice buddy! • Pico lives on your home screen and offers a quick tour of the app • He cheers you on in practice sessions and the Music Theory Quiz, with little reactions to your answers • Don't want company?

Slow it down until you can see it Every demo video now has a speed control: quarter, half, three-quarter, one-and-a-half or double speed. The pitch stays where it was played, so a clip at half speed is still in tune to play along with — watch which finger moves first, then bring it back up to tempo. Demos on far more lessons Around forty new clips, filmed close up: the classical right hand through the planted rolls, the fretting hand through the awkward pairs and its first scales, and the speed bursts. On electric, alternate picking now runs into the Giuliani arpeggios, with more speed bursts, scales and advanced studies. Guitar Basics gains chords through the sevenths, ten melodies and the strumming patterns behind real songs. Shorter sessions, better spent Every level on the fretting-hand and speed ladders is now two exercises rather than three. A hand held at tempo tightens by the third study, and nothing is dropped — the rest simply start the next level. Also in this release • The classical scale burst now sits in IV–V position, with the fingering written in • A corrected up-strum in the Tresillo pattern • Fixes to a rhythm glitch and an audio crackle • Various refinements

Watch it, then play it Short demo videos now open the first levels of every chip, on both paths: right hand, left hand and speed on classical; alternate picking, speed bursts, scales and advanced studies on electric. Watch the drill played close up, then play it yourself — no guessing what it is supposed to look like. Your practice on the Home Screen A new widget shows your streak and your next exercise, one tap away. Home Screen or Lock Screen, in every size. The left hand, rebuilt Finger independence now runs the way a teacher teaches it: one finger at a time — first the index, then the middle, then the ring, then the little finger — and only once all four can work alone do two move together. Every study also names its position on the neck, so your hand starts at the right fret every time. Also in this release • Shorter electric sessions: two exercises per level, so your picking hand stays loose • Clearer session screens, so your attention stays on your hands • Various fixes and refinements

Play from the first minute Your first practice session opens straight away, built around the technique you want to improve. No searching, no setting up. Just pick up your guitar and play. Start where you really are Beginner, intermediate or advanced: on the Classical and Electric paths you now start on level 1, 2 or 3, so your very first session gives your hands something worth working on. The earlier levels are always there when you want to go back to the basics. More focus, less clutter • A simpler path that takes you straight to your next exercise • Cleaner session screens, so your attention stays on your hands, your timing and your tone Also in this release • Various fixes and refinements

Teach with PracticeOS Teachers now have their own mode, and it's free. Mark yourself as a teacher, share your one join code, and your students appear on a dashboard where you can see what they've practised and set them work. Assignments arrive as ordinary practice blocks in the student's routine, same timer, same streak, same history. There's no separate homework screen to remember to open. Chords on Apple Watch Chord shapes now play on the watch, with sound. Handy for running changes when your phone isn't to hand. More to play • New chord families: flamenco voicings, three-string shapes, open E-minor forms, and drone chords across several keys • More chord progressions, and a redesigned progression screen with playback • More strumming patterns and classical arpeggios Clearer about what you're paying for The subscription screen now lists exactly what unlocks, counted from the libraries themselves — how many chords, scales, progressions, songs and filmed lessons you actually get. Smoother playback Scales, chords, arpeggios and progressions start faster and hold up better through long practice sessions. Also in this release • The beginner levels are separated more clearly, so it's obvious where one finishes and the next starts • Various fixes and refinements throughout

Every path now opens on the scale circle: one screen that shows what an interval really is, with the octave drawn as a shape you can hear. Twenty new scales from around the world. Persian dastgāh (Māhur, Shur, Chahārgāh, Homāyun), maqamat from the Arab world and Turkey, ragas, Chinese court tuning, Japanese, Korean and Thai scales, the five equal steps of Uganda, Ethiopian tizita and the mode of Brazilian forró. Each one says where it comes from, plays once, and loops only when you ask it to. Seven studies for the right hand trill. Two strings a whole step apart, the left hand holding one note, and only the plucking fingers to move between them. Four new levels close the Right Hand path with them. Chords are taught differently now. One shape, then the next, then the change between them, and every stage ends on a move out of the family, so what you have just learned connects to what you already own. Theory and ear training come in small pieces. Two intervals, then a quiz on exactly those two. The same for chord colours and for the written lessons, with review levels where it all comes back together. Practice reminders now open the exercise they name.

Practise one thing at a time. • NEW, Focus tracks on your path. Right Hand, Left Hand, Speed and Accuracy for classical guitar; Alt. Picking, Speed Burst, Scales and Advanced for electric. Each level is one short session of three exercises, in a teaching order rather than a list. • NEW, Run a whole level as a timed session. The app holds the clock: exercise, rest, next. The tempo it asks for rises as you climb the ladder. • NEW, Planting. The right-hand preparation studies, where the finger is already on the string before it plays. • NEW, Paco. A burst drill that gets longer instead of faster. • More melodies to play, including Handel's Passacaglia, Chopin's Nocturne and the Presto from the Moonlight Sonata, each with the composer's portrait on the card. • The Chords journey now hands you every shape the progression at the end of a stage needs, so nothing turns up unannounced. • Songs now open with reading a chord grid, then Brown Eyed Girl: three shapes, one song. • Sight Reading is simpler, one note at a time, and it listens more carefully. A correct note is no longer marked wrong because it was judged at the pluck rather than at the note. • Fixes: the microphone no longer sleeps through a listening exercise, long melodies fit the screen again, and every arpeggio shows its p-i-m-a fingering.

PracticeOS is still built for classical guitar technique, and now it has a clear path for anyone starting from zero. GUITAR BASICS: A JOURNEY, NOT A LIBRARY One card at a time: the chord, the change between chords, the strum, then the song. Every step tells you why you're practising it. Four ways through — pick the one you came for: • Songs — learn songs people recognise, one at a time • Chords — shapes by family, and the changes between them • Melodies — read the tab, then play the whole tune • Technique — scales, picking and legato, with no song to hide behind START FROM ZERO Two interactive first lessons: how to read tab, and how to read a chord diagram. Tap each string, name each finger, then play it — nothing moves on until you can. THE APP LISTENS Chord changes are counted by the microphone while you play, so you can watch your hands instead of tapping a button. Play a chord and the app tells you whether every note is ringing. PLAY ALONG & RECORD The notes fall to the strings while the front camera films you. Count-in, full screen, and a video ready to share. CLASSICAL GUITAR Right hand, arpeggios, tremolo, slurs, rasgueados, campanella, interval studies, sight reading and speed work — all unchanged, and still the heart of the app. ALSO • The first three stages of every track are free • Tab now stays on screen while a lesson plays • Fixed: a melody now keeps perfect time from the very first play-through

Sight Reading now reads music, not just notes. NEW: One bar at a time. Instead of a single note, read a full bar of 4/4 straight through, quarter notes, eighths, or both in the same bar. The whole bar stays on screen, so you can look ahead the way real reading works. • 10 graded stages, from open-position naturals with the fingering shown all the way to seventh position in mixed rhythms. Your practice path opens the stage that matches your level. • Better listening. Note detection now follows a melody played smoothly instead of waiting for a hard pluck, and it no longer judges a new note using the pitch of the one before it. • Set it to move on by itself after two wrong tries, so a note the microphone won't accept can't stall the bar. A cleaner screen for every exercise. • Classical, acoustic and electric exercises now share one layout: the music first, then the transport, then everything else. • Press play and the page clears — just the notes and the stop button. • Tab, fretboard, details and the written notes now start closed. Open only what you need. • The same hexagon play button and tempo control on every screen. Practice path • Legato — hammer-ons and pull-offs — is now part of the path, graded across the levels. • Sight Reading now appears at every level, from step 1 to step 10. • Every exercise can be added to your practice list, and every practice block links back to the lesson it came from. Notation • Whole notes are drawn the way they are printed. • A sharp or flat now carries through the bar, and a natural sign cancels it. • Two-bar studies are laid out on two lines instead of scrolling sideways.

Your daily routine is here. Open the app and you get three exercises picked for today, one for each hand, so nothing gets neglected. Add up to two more of your own, mark them done when you've practised, and watch your week fill in. NEW SECTIONS • Rasgueados, the flamenco roll, from the four-finger throw to the six-stroke roll, each with its own finger-order variations • Finger Independence, 16 left-hand studies that plant most of the hand and free one or two fingers to work alone • Right-Hand Velocity, written-out speed bursts where the burst grows bar by bar CLEARER PRACTICE PATH Exercises are now grouped by the hand they train and labelled with the technique they belong to, so you always know what you're looking at and why. FASTER Standard notation now draws dramatically faster on long exercises — scrolling and playback stay smooth even at high tempos. Plus: every advanced study renamed to say what it actually does, and moved into the section it belongs to.

Classical guitar • Campanella scales: laid out so no two consecutive notes share a string, letting the whole scale ring together like a chord instead of a line. • Interval training: Tárrega's chromatic octaves plus thirds through every major key, with two-voice notation and a fretboard diagram. More to play • New scales, chord progressions, melodies and rhythms. • add9 and open-voiced chord shapes. • Improvisation over backing loops, now with strumming patterns. Practice path • Every exercise now shows its position in its section (3/24), so you can see where you are and how much is still ahead. Design • Playback, loop and tempo controls redrawn in the app's honeycomb shape. Account & subscription • 7-day free trial. • Account deletion now available in-app under Profile › Account. Plus a number of smaller fixes and refinements.

Version 7.6 introduces the Path, the simplest possible answer to "what should I practise today?" YOUR PATH, TEN LEVELS Pick a level from 1 to 10 and get the exercises that belong to it. Nothing else, nothing to wade through. The level you chose when you signed up is already selected, so the right material is waiting the moment you open the app. A REAL COURSE, NOT A SHUFFLE The ten levels add up. Work through them and you will have been taken through every chord, every melody, every chord progression and every strumming pattern in the app — each one exactly once, in an order that makes sense. Classical players cover every Giuliani arpeggio study, the tremolo patterns, the scales and all the filmed technique lessons before level 7 — then it turns to speed work and concert-level studies. Electric players cover every alternate-picking study and the scales, then move on to speed bursts and advanced drills. ONE LESSON AT A TIME Levels no longer hand you a whole section and wish you luck. Level 1 names the two things to read: Reading Chords, and The Musical Alphabet. All seven guitar fundamentals are covered by level 4 and all eight theory lessons by level 6, so the explaining is finished before the material gets hard. The theory quiz arrives in the middle, once there is something worth testing. A FASTER, CALMER APP The main page used to take several seconds to appear. It now builds only what it needs, when it needs it, and tells you where it has got to while it works. Picking a level or a section has a proper click to it. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE • Onboarding rebuilt around the honeycomb, instrument, level and focus as tiles • Five free Speed Burst exercises instead of one • The bottom bar stays out of your way until you reach the end of a page • Artwork on every practice card • Smaller, faster app, plus the usual fixes and polish

What's New More accurate notation, so what you read is what you play. Smarter time signatures: the standard notation now matches the actual notes in each pattern. Arpeggios and exercises show their true meter (6/8, 6/16, and more) instead of a one-size-fits-all 4/4. Scales now open in eighth notes by default, giving you clean, complete bars right away. Small performance and stability improvements. Keep practicing. You're getting better.

PracticeOS 7.4 makes your practice system even stronger, whether you're just starting out or working on advanced technique. New: the Study Lessons hub, your starting point for the fundamentals. Guitar basics, reading music, music theory, and a theory quiz, perfect for beginners who want to understand what they're doing, not just repeat it. For electric and acoustic guitar players, every exercise shows tabs, instantly readable, immediately playable. For classical guitar, you'll find standard notation with classical p-i-m-a fingering right above the notes, so you learn technique the way it's actually taught. At the other end of the spectrum: a new auto speed-up feature for advanced exercises. The tempo climbs automatically as you play, so you build real speed under control, without ever getting ahead of yourself. Ideal for anyone working through arpeggios, tremolo, and demanding speed exercises. The practice Guide has been completely redesigned: a clear, step-by-step path that adapts as you go and stops showing you what you're already practicing, so you always know what matters most to work on next. We've also tightened playback timing, so fast passages stay perfectly in rhythm, added an at-a-glance view of which lessons are already in your practice routine, and cleaned up the practice screens throughout. From your very first chord to the most demanding concert-level etude, PracticeOS 7.4 gives you the material and the tools to actually get better.

What's New Apple Watch support is here. Practice anywhere, anytime — straight from your wrist. • Arpeggios trainer — Classical right-hand patterns with real-time finger display • Alternate picking trainer — Electric pick direction (↓↑) with string highlighting • Chord library on your wrist — All chords available on Apple Watch, anytime • Auto speed-up — Builds tempo gradually, 10 BPM every 10 cycles, accelerando feel • Practice recommendations — Guided next lesson based on your instrument and level • Cleaner habit creation — Faster category picker • Share an idea — Tell us what you want to see next

Version 7.2 brings a smoother, more polished experience throughout the app. Removed card borders across all exercise lists for a cleaner, more premium look Fixed navigation transitions — no more layout shifts when moving between sections Explanation text now hides automatically when you press Play, giving you a full view of the fretboard Onboarding redesigned with a cleaner sign-up screen and improved button styling Classical and Electric Guitar sections now include 5 free exercises before premium Your chosen instrument is marked with a green dot on the style selector Back button animates in smoothly after page transitions General UI refinements and visual consistency improvements
