Nice app but...
Would be great if it showed the diagram/graphic of the chord for beginners. Beginners have to learn to remember what an E chord looks like versus a Em chord on guitar. Or what a full G chord looks like versus a Gm chord on guitar.Lescaart
Fantastic Practice Tool
Well designed, intuitive, solid, flexible, easy to use. And fun! I found it quickly addictive, in the best way. Really accelerates the process of internalizing vocabulary and being able to play what you hear. Hard to put into words, but I find it breaks down some kind mental barrier surprisingly quickly. I look forward to my time with it.Piltren

Subscription...not!
You had me until the monthly/yearly subscription for the unlock. Great idea though! Looks like it could be very helpful. Just don't get the subscription thing..

This is just the breakthrough I needed
I’ve been learning and playing scales, arpeggios and cadences for years and I have them down cold ... until I get to the jam and can’t seem to remember any of them. Random Roots presents a completely different way hold that same information in your brain. So, for instance, it is forcing me to understand the relationships of the 3s and 7s in ii-V7-I in a way I haven’t done before. Instead of relying on fingering patterns on the fretboard, I’m actually considering what notes are appropriate over the upcoming chord. This is exactly the transformation I have been looking for.Mandolincelli
Wish I had this 25 years ago...
I've been playing trumpet for 34 years, and the more time I spend with this app, the more I wish I had it back when I was a kid! Better late than never though... This app has helped me develop my musical fluency dramatically. The provided exercises are great. The developer's support is outstanding. Worth every penny! Thanks!Schoenberg
Essential to learning buildings blocks
As a 45 year old new to learning jazz and theory I’ve found Random Roots very helpful to programmatically learn the basics. It’s super easy to learn intervals like minor thirds by choosing tempo and setting a goal. Great cloud based set of free addons available too. Created by a professional jazz musician with background in computational intelligence.gogowojo
Chords/harmony
I could not find any chordal harmony to be heard. The app will play a note and play sequences of notes but it doesn’t play chords or progressions of chords.
Here’s hoping something will be added.big 175

A class app by a monster player and superb educator...
I’ve used Anton’s random roots exercise using his paper matrix and this new app takes that exercise to the next level. I’ve only scratched the surface using the many approaches you can use with this app and it’s thoughtful design.
In the East Bay, CA, (and in Seattle), jazz lovers and students know and respect Anton for his monster playing and commitment to jazz education. And many of us are aware of his notable academic achievement and background at Stanford.
With this new app, he’s synergistically combined a little bit of both to help us move along the musical learning continuum in a structured and fun way. I’m looking forward to using this app toward improving my playing and musical acumen with the goal of moving to the next level.Digjazzalot
