Choosing a style
Which style should I start with?
Start with the style whose songs you listen to most. Stages 0 and 1 are free for everyone, and each style page lists the skills it needs so you can see what you already have.
Do I need to pay to start?
No. Stages 0 and 1 are free, with no card needed. Paid plans unlock the later levels of each style.
Do the styles share skills?
Yes. Chords, strumming and basic scales carry over between styles, so the early work counts toward more than one style.
