I was gonna ask about a bass version but poked around in settings and found the option to toggle it—glad you didn't forget about us :)

My one suggestion there, then, is to perhaps make the guitar/bass toggle more prominent to grab the attention of four-string aficionados.

Glad you found it!! Noted. Once I have more time, I might build a bit of a new user walkthrough. Keep me posted it if you have more feedback Thanks

Another bass player here--very glad to see the option!

The PS3/X360 instrument training game "Bandfuse" (which had the misfortune of coming out around the same time as RockSmith and went bankrupt within like a year of release) had a really great circle-of-fifths training mode...but only for guitar. :(

I mean, if you find me a video that shows how it worked, I could eventually build it (for both guitar and bass).

Basses with 5 strings are relatively common, and even basses with 6 strings are available off the shelf.

An option to disable the display of the name of the key would make it a nice game for ear training.

Yeah, its just that I have to pareto-prioritize. The more time I spend on more niche market features, it takes away time from features that 80% of the people want. I'd rather come back around once I have a fully functional product for guitar players and then start serving the custom tunings, the alternate instruments and so on..

I'd use this for mandolin and ukulele if there were those options (there are more 4-string instruments than just bass!)

I would like to finish all the modules for the guitar before I venture into other instruments. The bass so far has been kindof easy..just hide a couple strings :)
