These visible examples show the question style. LearnClash turns the full topic into ranked duels and spaced repetition.

  1. 1 Easy

    What is a chord played with one finger across the strings?

    Answer: Barre chord

    Why: A barre lets a guitarist move one familiar chord shape up the neck into new keys, much like a capo does.

  2. 2 Medium

    How many semitones span a perfect fifth?

    Answer: Seven

    Why: The name counts letter names, C, D, E, F and G, five in all, while semitones count every key from C to G.

  3. 3 Hard

    About how many cents off pure is a piano's major third?

    Answer: 14 cents

    Why: An equal-tempered fifth, by contrast, misses its pure 3:2 ratio by only about 2 cents.

  4. 4 Easy

    Which word means everyone singing the exact same notes at once?

    Answer: Unison

    Why: Unison comes from the Medieval Latin unisonus, which means 'having one sound'.

  5. 5 Medium

    Whose C major prelude carries Gounod's Ave Maria melody?

    Answer: Bach

    Why: Gounod's accompaniment even has an extra bar, the Schwencke measure, which Bach's own manuscript does not contain.

  6. 6 Hard

    How many different-sounding diminished seventh chords exist?

    Answer: Three

    Why: G♯dim7, Bdim7, Ddim7 and Fdim7 all share the same four notes, so twelve possible roots give only three different chords.
