How the Site Is Organized: A Complete Overview

Once you sign up for Guitar Trainer, the first thing you notice is that the site has a clear logic: it's not a page full of scattered links, but a structured workspace with well-defined zones. Once you understand how it's organized, getting around becomes completely natural.

Three main zones

The site is divided into three areas: the top bar, the left sidebar, and the central content area. Each one serves a distinct purpose.

The top bar

It's the first thing you see when you open the site. From left to right, it has four elements: the lesson search bar, the language selector, the Blog button, and the access buttons (Register and Log In).

The search bar lets you find any exercise by typing its name or a related term. The more specific the search, the more precise the results: typing "Exercise 34 Note C Base Block" returns a single result; typing just "Exercise 34" returns a longer list. Either way, the site is built so you can reach almost any section from any page.

The Blog button gives free access to all the editorial content on the site: posts on Music History, Biographies, Music Theory, and the Tips & Tricks category you're reading right now. No subscription required.

The left sidebar

This is your control center. Once inside the site, this bar is the main tool for moving between sections. Its buttons, in order, are:

• Home — returns to the main screen.
• Exercise Blocks — shows all available blocks. Selecting one expands the corresponding lessons.
• Favorite Exercises — your personal list of saved exercises, plus seven training lists to organize your weekly practice.
• Audio Tracks — the complete library of training audio.
• Favorite Audio — the tracks you've marked, kept separate from the main library.
• Audio Player — the player with tempo control, volume, and track navigation.
• Downloads — the PDF manuals, also readable directly on the site.
• Profile & History — your account settings and a log of every lesson you've completed.

The central area

This is where all the work happens: the open lesson with its score and tablature, the explanatory text, and the menu to add the exercise to your lists. On the right side of each lesson there's an additional bar with suggested next exercises and quick links to other blocks and manuals.

The companion app

It's not part of the site itself, but it's designed to be used alongside it. You can download it from the link in the footer of the home page. It includes a metronome, tuner, chord dictionary, round counter, backing tracks, and practice hours log.

Everything connected

What matters about this structure is that no section exists in isolation. Exercises are practiced with audio. Audio is organized into lists. Lists connect to your weekly routine. Manuals explain what the exercises are practicing. History tracks where you are.

The posts that follow go into detail on each section. But if you want to start exploring now, you already know where everything is.
