These are just exercises I am writing as described by
the Learn and Master lesson book.  I have no experience
with music theory, music education, or guitar
instruction.  I have never used any guitar software.  My
primary objective is to write simple, zero learning
curve, easy-to-use apps based on the LMG exercises.


PEGuitar collection:

         PEG   LMG 5, 6, 7, and 8.  Generates random chords.

   BarreFlop   LMG 7 and 8.  flip/flops between
               5th/6th string barre chords.

 KeySigFlash   LMG 8. Key signature flash cards.

  PentaWorld   LMG 11.  "Around the Pentatonic World"


PEG generates random chords in LMG 5, 6, 7, and 8.  To a
beginner, it just seems like we are playing random
chords.  It's more of a review of the chords learned.


BarreFlop is my implementation of the exercise described
on page 64 of the Bonus Resources:

   Practice Jumping Between 5th and 6th String Barre Forms.
   You now have two places to these chords.  Try to pick
   some chords and play them in both places.  Take a G7 and
   play it first on the 6th string and then on the 5th
   string.  Or play a Cm7 on the 5th string and then on the
   6th string.  Both of these groups of chords will be used
   interchangeably in real music, so get used to the idea
   of being able to play a chord in more than one place.


KeySigFlash is an ASCII version of the key signature
flash cards on pages 71 to 73 of the LMG Bonus
Resources.

PentaWorld keeps track of where you are in the "Around the
Pentatonic World" exercise on page 66 of the main LMG lesson
book.  It give a 10-second count down to press play on the
LMG Jam Along CD #3 Track 19.
