Real data

What GuitarSesh records

Every note is graded as it goes past, and none of it is thrown away. This is the whole of it, group by group, taken from my own database.

My own library and play data — one player, not a typical result.

Everything the game keeps

The start menu opens on a player card. Behind it sits a database that has been filling since May 2023.

Who is playing, and how far along

The player card the start menu draws: level, experience, the tuning and arrangement I reach for most, and the day I started.

First run at a song part against my best one

Every song part I have played three or more times, averaged: what I managed the first time, and what I managed at my best. Rhythm parts are left out because their detection is still alpha.

While the song is running

A pitch detector grades every note as it goes past. This is what a million of those decisions look like added up.

How often each technique actually lands

Every note carries the technique it was written with, so a bend and a palm mute are graded separately. Notes the game never asked for (skipped, idle) are left out of the denominator.

The bar is how many were asked of me; the percentage after it is how many landed.

How far off the beat each hit landed, in milliseconds

The gap between when a note was written and when I actually hit it, in 8 ms steps. The game calls it Perfect within 24 ms, Good out to 72 ms late, Early or Late beyond that — Good is late-side only, exactly as the game grades it.

Which parts of the neck I hit and which I miss

Every single note attempt placed on the fretboard, hits and misses both. Three tunings share this drawing because the same string and fret is the same shape under the hand in all three.

Darker is a higher hit rate, lighter is lower. An outlined square is a position no file has ever asked for, which is a different thing from one I keep missing. 0% to 100% of notes hit never asked for

Drawn from E Standard, E Flat, Drop C together, where a string and fret mean the same shape.

From the Notes, Plays and Songs tables in the database, and from each song's <song>_note_log.json file.

The two- and three-string shapes I play most

The same years, split by tuning and by part

The yearly average again, but broken out — a year spent in a new tuning or on a new part does not read the same as the headline number. The by-artist split the game also keeps is left out here: it would be one row of my own writing and one anonymous bucket for everything else, which says nothing.

Each bar is the average accuracy of that year's plays in that tuning or on that part.

Where this comes from

From the Plays and Songs tables in the database, and from each song's <song>_play_info.json file.

Average accuracy, year by year

A blunt measure on purpose: every new album is sight-read first, so a flat line here is not a flat year.

Drilling one hard bar

The bar that keeps going wrong gets its own screen, its own tempo ladder and its own history.

Bars I have drilled on their own

Measure Master runs a chosen stretch of bars in a loop and can climb the tempo until a target is met. Each run is kept.

Bar-by-bar mastery of the song I play most

The bars I have gone over the most

Counted across every play, not just the drills.

Every pass over a single bar is filed against that bar, so the ones I go back to most rise to the top of this list. It fills up the first time I loop a hard bar in Measure Master.

Tempo and difficulty that move with me

The speed of a song is not one number. It is a number per bar, and it changes as I get the bar right.

61,311bar tempos stored
295plays with a mode recorded
0songs on a ladder

How much help was switched on, play by play

A play can run at the written tempo, under dynamic tempo, or under dynamic difficulty. Which one it was is kept with the play.

No help - the written tempomost common
4modes used
No help - the written tempo 244 68.4%
A fixed slower tempo I chose 38 72.1%
Dynamic difficulty - it thins the chart 7 59.6%
Dynamic tempo - it follows me bar by bar 6 41.2%

The percentage after each bar is the average accuracy of the plays in that mode.

Where this comes from

From the PlayAssistance and Plays tables in the database, and from each song's <song>_dt_state.json and <song>_dd_state.json files.

Where the adapting tempo and difficulty left off

Both systems keep a per-song ladder from 1 to 11: where the last run ended, the highest rung reached, and where the next run will start.

Dynamic tempo and dynamic difficulty each keep a ladder per song and per part: the rung I finished on, the best rung I have reached and where the game will start me next time. It writes the first row when I finish a song with either of them switched on.

Where this comes from

From the DTSongState, DDSongState and Songs tables in the database, and from each song's <song>_dt_state.json and <song>_dd_state.json files.

A tempo of its own for every bar

One song, bar by bar, at the speed I have settled on for each bar. The hard bars sit lower than the easy ones and the file is kept per song and per part.

Goals and the practice habit

Targets I set myself and whether I hit them

A goal names a song, a part and an accuracy, and it only counts if the play qualified — no goal is met on a slowed-down run unless it was set that way.

Setlists and the queue

A practice session is a setlist played end to end, and it is kept as one thing rather than a scatter of plays.

Sets I have built and played through

A setlist is an ordered run of songs; the plays it produced stay attached to it, so a set can be read back years later.

What is queued up next

The queue holds a song, a tempo and optionally a stretch of bars to loop.

The queue holds a song, a tempo and optionally a stretch of bars to loop, in the order I mean to work through them. It is empty because I have not queued anything up — it clears itself as I play.

Tuning, setup and the rig

Before a note is graded the game has to know what my guitar sounds like. That calibration is kept too.

The pitch table the detector is matching against

Every playable note in a tuning has its own measured frequency set, so the detector compares against my guitar rather than a textbook. Open position shown.

Scores from the tuner practice games

The tuner has two small games in it; the scores are kept.

The tuner carries two small games, and every attempt is scored and kept with its date. I have not played either of them on this machine.

Where this comes from

From the TunerGameScores table in the database.

The rig I plug into

Amp model, tone controls, noise gate and the effects in front of it. The presets the game ships with are shown; the ones I have named and saved myself are mine, not documentation.

The amp keeps a model, four tone controls, a noise gate and a chain of effects per preset, and a preset can be pinned to a song. Only the presets the game ships with are shown here, and they are written the first time I open the preset browser.

The library itself

The song picker reads a folder tree of tablature files. No catalogue and no subscription — these are files already sitting on my disk.
