DMLR Sample Collection

These recordings are used to improve our music-analysis engine, and a guitar expert may listen to them to note what was played. Adults only — no minors. You can ask us to delete yours at any time.

• A few tips before you play
• Allow the microphone. The first time you tap Record, your phone will ask to use the mic — please tap Allow (that's the whole point). Nothing is recorded until you tap Record, and it stops the moment you tap Stop.
• Don't hunt for a quiet room. Your normal home sounds — a fan, people talking, traffic outside — are exactly what we want.
• Use an acoustic guitar (not electric), and give it a quick tune first if you can.
• Rest your phone somewhere natural — a table or sofa about 1–2 m (3–6 ft) away. Don't prop it right against the guitar.
• Play the loop 6–8 times through — a minute or two is plenty.
• Strum however feels natural — any pattern is fine, and it's good to use a different one on different takes; just let the chords ring.
• Any mistake is fine — just keep going. Real mistakes are useful data, not a problem.

Thanks — here's the plan 🎸

Work down the list: tap Record, play the chords a few times through (about a minute), tap Stop. That's one done — go to the next. Aim for the six below; the bonus rounds are extra if you're enjoying it.

• A steady, comfortable pace is perfect — around 80 beats a minute is ideal (a metronome helps if you have one). For the song, just play it at a natural pace.
• Any mistake is fine — just keep going. Real mistakes are useful data, not a problem.

Take 1 done — thank you!
