Hi everyone! Any tips on how to deal with Inversionist? Unless I check it out on a keyboard, I am so lost on inversions!

Also: is it not allowed to join the Beta Team? It says it's private. I wanted to give feedback on the Beta game Solfègiator, the link of which redirects me to somewhere else completely.

Thanks!

The Seven Steps - title (c) by Cuantasvacas

(or how to impress that ever-watching cute white kitty)

First of all, the game should be known as an "advanced" game (which means it should be approached after mastering several of the more simple games of intervals and chords)

1) So since this game is advanced I encourage you or I would recommend using a musical instrument or even an app on the phone like a virtual piano, don't fret and don't feel guilt about it, over time you will be able to drop this aid (promised)

2) use your instrument to detect the lowest note you hear (the bass)

3) observe the name of the given chord, play the chord for yourself if needed and observe its structure.

4) determine which degree of the chord does the bass represents

5) over time when it becomes easier to hear and separate the bass note, try to detect the next stage's bass by comparing it to the previous bass you heard, eventually that would enable you to forego the use of a musical instrument. But there's no rush.

6) this game requires you to sweat, decide on how much time you're willing to invest in it and then stick to the training religiously it doesn't matter if you finish a level or not but stick to the workout on a dedicated DAILY religious like routine

7) please report back on how do you do

Keyboard is your friend, @Isabel Nuñez , specially when learning inversions. As long as it helps you learning it is just a tool, not a way of cheating. And you'll end up leaving it aside, if you practice enough.

@yooval mann : thanks for the credit, LOL. Pls don't forget to report any substantial changes that you may eventually make to the described procedure in order to review or re-design the title if neccessary. 😂
