Default [App] RR Guitar Fretboard Trainer

Hey everyone -

I released this one a little over a week ago. For anyone who plays or is learning guitar, this is a tool to help you learn the guitar fretboard. Stuck in traffic? Waiting for your significant other to pick out the perfect pair of summer sandals? On the can? No guitar handy to practice? Make the most of wasted time by drilling on the fretboard.

NOTE, this is not a jamming or writing tool. It is strictly a tool to help master the fretboard.

- Customizable game profiles (pay version only)
- Right and Left handed fretboard
- Sound (optional)
- Customizable alternate tunings (pay version only)
- Fretboard explorer
- Full screen or scrollable fretboard

There's a free version (limited to the built in profiles) and a pay version. Neither has ads or requires any unnecessary permissions.





Free Version:

Feedback? Yes Please!

Thumbs up

I really like your app, I've been playing for years but still seems like I've never gotten a great handle where the notes are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th strings on frets 7 - 11... this app lets me target just that. Very cool.

The one change or option I would request would be to not show both enharmonics (i.e. G#/Ab) when asking me to find a note on the fretboard, but rather just pick one, and mix it up so sometimes it is G# and sometimes it is Ab. In the real world, when you need a G#, you need a G#, not an Ab, and vice-versa. Seeing both just adds more cognitive processing time for something that doesn't really add any value.

Something similar would be nice when being asked to identify a note but I'm not sure exactly how that would work, you'd have to have "sharps mode" and "flats mode" or something.

One other small thing is that the random order which notes are presented can seem a bit too random, so sometimes you get the same note twice in a row and stuff like that. Adding a check to prevent that might be nice. Or even better having it learn what I'm really bad at and adapt would be cool, but that sounds like a lot more work.

Anyway, thanks for a cool app, well worth the $.99.
