Practice Hub
The screen where every structured practice tool lives — this page is a map, not a manual, so you know where to look before the tool pages that follow it.
Practice Hub is where you work on your playing itself, apart from any specific song — technique, theory, timing, your ear. Tap Practice tools from Home and it takes over the full screen, not a tab, because you show up here with one tool already in mind, use it, and leave.
Getting to the hub
Practice Hub isn't part of the tab bar. It opens from the Practice tools card on Home, the same way Jam does, and takes over the full screen until you back out of it.
What's on the screen
Two tiers. Up top, three larger featured cards — Routines, Loop Trainer, and Fretboard. Below them, a grid of seven smaller tool tiles — Chords, Progressions, Scales, Grooves, Drills, Loops, and Metronome. Between the two, that's every structured practice tool in the app.
Grooves is the one tile here doing double duty. Instead of separate tools for rhythm and note choice, it covers both at once: pick a pattern family, set it against a chord, and it loops one bar at your tempo.
Where each one goes
Each card and tile has its own page later in this guide:
| Tap | Goes to |
|---|---|
| Chords, Scales | Chords & Scales |
| Progressions | Progressions |
| Grooves | Grooves |
| Drills | Drills & Ear Training |
| Fretboard (card) | Fretboard Tools |
| Loops, Loop Trainer (card) | Loops |
| Metronome | Metronome |
| Routines (card) | Routines & Log |
Worth knowing: a groove is one bar of a bassline pattern — root-five, octaves, a walk, ghost notes — looped over whatever chord you set at your tempo. It's the vocabulary the Grooves tool is built around, and it's why bass gets one tile here instead of two.
Worth knowing: the Loops tile and the Loop Trainer card aren't two different tools. Tap either one and you land on the same page — whichever you happen to see first.
A calmer way to sit with your bass.
