From the guitar
One more look at what you missed.
The same note can come from any instrument.
A guitar and a piano sound different, but they can play exactly the same note. Your voice matches the note, not the sound.
Here is a note on the piano.
Soon a guitar will play notes like this one. Listen for the note itself.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
What makes instruments sound different is called timbre.
Timbre is the colour of a sound. It changes from instrument to instrument, while the note can stay the same.
A guitar plays a note. What does your voice match?
A guitar note starts with a pluck and fades fast.
Listen past the pluck to the note under it. You can play it again as often as you like.
The microphone only hears which note you sing. Nothing is recorded or sent.
This screen listens to you sing. Your voice is measured in this browser: nothing is recorded or sent. No microphone, or not a good moment? Skip it: that costs no star.
Choirs, bands, karaoke: you always match someone else's sound.
The skill is the same each time. Find the note inside the sound, then sing it in your own voice.
A guitar and a piano play the same note. What differs?
You can match a note from another instrument.
