Since no one replied, I thought I'd at least throw out some related info. You prolly know Solfege is the name of a guy who developed an ear training system a long time ago. If you have a college ear-training course, they'll make you learn to sing all the intervals there are in an octave---and---transcribe them and other melodies by ear....not an easy thing to do. It's very useful for writing things on paper that you may hear in your head.
Some systems/schools use a "fixed" Do (always middle C) and others use a "Moveable" Do (Do is always the tonic/key you're in).
I'd suggest using a moveable Do if you're going to really work on it as it'll help your ability to figure out melodies and chords in a way more conducive to Rock and Roll. I'd say to start, you'd want to be trying to train yourself to be able to both sing and recognize basic intervals....so, start with a major chord and begin to establish maj and min thirds...ie Do, Mi, Sol, Mi, Do
then minor would be La, Do, Mi, Do, La
It's also helpful to learn/recognize other intervals like major 6th and 7th and 4ths and 5ths...The little melody for NBC for example is Do, La, Fa (1,6,4) and Somewhere over the Rainbow is a Maj 7th (Some-where would be Do Ti)....little kids go nah-na-na-na-na-nah--
(5,5,3,6,5,3---sol, sol,me,la,sol,me)
There's lots of others you'll come up with. If you sing it's gonna help a lot....even if you don't sing, it's very helpful in some odd ways that are hard to even predict. have fun with it (if possible).
Sounds like you spent money on it....you can also just get a Solfege book for 10 bucks and just use your instrument...but, I bet the thing you bought is pretty cool cause it kind of tests you and prolly can make up random melodies and intervals for you to practice with...Good Luck with it.
