Thoughts on EarMaster software?

[JayPotts]

I am a complete beginner when it comes to music theory. I always find myself just guessing at the fret board and playing until I find something that sounds good or relying on chord progressions from Songs I've learned through tabs. I have the attention span of a rodent and normal means of learning music theory just doesn't click with me (I've tried on several occasions). I found this program called EarMaster and it seems perfect for me. The reason why i'm bringing this here is because I don't know if this is going to teach me theory or if it will just show me to how to sight read with voice. I can't find anything on this. So hopefully someone here has an opinion on it.
Thanks.

Hi,

Even though EarMaster is not a dedicated "music theory trainer", completing the Beginner's Course will teach you most of the core aspects of music theory with a learn-by-doing approach, which seems like something that might work for you. Learning Music theory is a long journey and can feel a bit tedious, so learning it with interactive exercises makes it easier. I hope it'll help you reach your goals. Also make sure to elect "Guitar" as "Primary Instrument" in EarMaster's preferences if you want to use the exercises with a guitar fretboard, guitar sounds, and guitar notation (table clef transposed by one octave)
