For metal guitar teachers

Teach metal guitar online. Speed you can measure.

Teach on a call built for guitar, set tempo targets as homework and review the tempo used before your next lesson. You judge whether the riff is clean.

A clear target

“The riff at 160, clean”: your student knows when it’s done.

02

A tempo record, your assessment

Use the tempo record to guide the next lesson. Listen to the riff before marking Learned or Repeat.

Guitar Pro, looped slower

Bars 9 to 16 from 90 to 140, with a count-in and a click.

The call

A call that keeps high gain.

Meeting apps gate distortion; Diesis turns those filters off and sends stereo.

Questions

Before you set your first riff.

Does a distorted tone survive the call?

Yes. No noise gate or automatic gain, in stereo at 128 kb/s.

Can I send a Guitar Pro file?

Yes: .gp, .gp5, .gpx and MusicXML, looped inside the homework.

Can I set a tempo target?

Yes. Set the start and target tempo in Speed up. Diesis records the metronome tempo used; it does not listen to or grade the riff.

Does it work for seven and eight strings?

Yes, in any tuning, drop and E♭ included.

Do my students need an account?

Yes, one each. The standalone tools work without one.

What does it cost?

10% of each payment through Diesis, Stripe’s fee included. The first twenty teachers pay 5% and receive 95%.
