Guitar Fret Trainer

[Rosalie Checca]

Memorizingthe fretboard is an essential piece of learning the guitar and other instruments like it. This can seem to be a daunting task for any guitar player, whether they are new or experienced. Fret Trainer provides the tools for musicians to take their playing to the next level by memorizing and quickly recalling notes on the fretboard.

Customize your experience by selecting which section of the fretboard you want to practice on. Practice the first frets, a section in the middle, or the entire fretboard. Choose from the many games available. You can even learn the notes on the musical staff

Learn musical scales by viewing them in the Scale Explorer mode. Choose a root note and 1 of the 63 different scales. Pan and zoom around the fretboard. Change the colors of intervals to make them stand out more.

Yes, you can learn to play the guitar by only reading tablature or playing by ear. If your knowledge of the fretboard is weak, you can limp through. But when you confidently know the notes on your fretboard and know what they look like on the musical staff, your musical life will be far richer.

Fretboard Literacy will open the doors to your full development as a guitarist, musician, or artist. Learning the fretboard will enhance your ability to successfully explore countless music styles and provide a deeper understanding of the pieces you learn. You will learn songs more quickly, easily, and play them much better.

Learning the notes on the fretboard and what they look like on the musical staff is fun and rewarding. Fretboard Literacy will make you more confident in yourself and your musical abilities. It will help you make the most of the musical opportunities that come your way. Fretboard Literacy is also the first step toward complete musical literacy.

This course is only for guitarists who are serious about learning the notes on the fretboard. The Ultimate Fretboard Trainers (there are 32 of them) are not like other game-like apps. This course and the trainers focus on education. The course requires effort by the guitarist to learn reference points and understand spatial relationships.

THE COURSE IS FREE, and the software trainers are safe with no malware or advertisements, and work on any browser on your computer, iPad, or tablet. It doesn't matter if you are on Windows, Mac, or iOS. They are browser-based, so you must have an internet connection. However, do not attempt to use them on a phone. They are for larger screen displays only.

This app is designed to teach you the notes of the fretboard. Knowing the notes of the fretboard is important to learning the instrument but is an area that is often neglected by many players. Some players simply learn the notes of the 6th and 5th strings to allow them to find bar chords and scale patterns while other only learn say the notes on the first four frets. This tool will help you master the notes on all strings all the way up the fretboard.

Identify the displayed note and get feedback if you are correct or not. In game mode, try to pick as many correct options as you can in 99 seconds or use practice mode to pick the note without a countdown timer and an option to see the correct answer.

The app supports multiple altered tunings and you can limit the range of strings or frets your being tested on. This is useful to home in on a small portion of the fretboard that is giving you trouble.

I used a trainer similar to this one, only it was the other way around. The note was given, and you had to select the right fret. I was curious if there were also trainers where the fret was shown and you had to select the right note. Found it now luckily! Good app!

One thing though: when selecting the right note, the beep you hear is really awful! I know you can disable the sound, but some audible feedback still is nice. However the tone used here, even when put at low volume, will possibly haunt me in my dreams!

Does anyone have an idea as to what a good score is? At what score can you say that you legitimately know the fretboard? I score in the 60-72 range. I think that is decent, but I would welcome input from others.

I identify 75-80 notes in the 99 seconds consistently which gives me a score of 210-295. I feel like I know the fretboard pretty good, but sometimes have to give a note a second of thought. Alot of the notes require no thought whatsoever though.

Perhaps I should already know this, but how does getting 80 notes lead to a score of 295?? I thought the number of notes was the score. I am scoring occasionally in the 120 range now, which seems really fast until I heard your score. Wow!

Can you gamify music learning? I mean real music learning. Of course, you can become good at the Guitar Hero game. But that does not a musician make. So should musicians gamify the learning that goes into their serious pursuit of the craft?

Fret Trainer is an app that helps you learn the guitar fretboard by making a game out of it. It shows you a dot on a fretboard, and you have to name the note. Or a note on a staff, and you name the note.

My question is: how well does this translates to real world musical proficiency. And by that, I mean the ability to play a real instrument (electronic instruments included) to compose, perform, and record music meant to engage an audience at both an intellectual and emotional level.

I would love to know more about the long-term benefits of this type of learning. If you have any personal examples to share, or reference to relevant research, please leave them in the comments below!

Fret Trainer is the ultimate educational game to learn the notes and chords on the fretboard of the guitar and other stringed instruments. There are 6 instruments available to practice on: Guitar, Bass, 5-String Bass, Mandolin, Ukulele, Banjo.

Learn to play the guitar like a pro with this nifty gadget. It slides beneath the strings onto the fret board of any 6-string guitar, and uses LEDs to show you where to place your fingers as you build your skills. A companion smartphone app provides lessons and tracks your progress.

If you want to dramatically improve the way you play guitar, bass, or other stringed instrument,there's one thing that will give you enormous benefits with very little efforts: learning the fretboard of your instrument extremely well.It's surprising how many guitar and bass players, even after months and years of serious playing and study, still don't really know their fretboard. This is especially common among self-taught musicians.What about you? Can you put a finger at random on the fretboard and tell the name of that note without thinking? In half a second or less? Can you do that effortlessly, anywhere on the fretboard?If you can -- congratulations, you belong to the elite among musicians. And if you don't have this ability yet but want to develop it, you can start today itself and within a few weeks you can effectively acquire the skill and bring your playing to a higher level.Here are some of the things that you will be able to do (or do better) after improving your fretboard skills:You will understand chords much better. No more "a finger here and a finger there...", but real notes - A, E, G, D....You will learn chords faster.You'll also be able to create and improvise any chords on the spot. If you know which notes make a chord (e.g. C major = C + E + G) then you can immediately play it in many different ways and places, all over the fretboard, according to your inspiration and creativity.Fretboard knowledge also means that you will know where to play any note without fumbling around.You will understand scales much better, and learn them faster.Again, not just "a finger here and a finger there", but meaningfulsequences of notes.You will be able to use the scales you learn with carefree abandon.You will have an advantage and a frame of reference for improvisation.You will be better able to translate the notes in your mind into music.You will be able to read sheet music more easily.You won't need any more those "chord charts" or "fretboard charts". Rather, you'll have a master chart fixed in your mind and at the tips of your fingers.While improving our playing sometimes we get stuck and we don't know why. In many cases, learning the fretboard can get you out of a rut and running again.With a fluent knowledge of the fretboard you will better understand what others are playing. When you will see another guitarist or bassist playing, you will immediately know which notes they are playing, and make much more sense of it.It will also help you to observe, remember, and then use any good lick or riff that you notice when somebody else plays.How many wrong notes do you play because you're not sure about which note is where, or because it takes too long to figure out? Wanna stop that?Many self-taught musicians (but not only them!) have some gaps in their knowledge and skill. Learning the fretboard will directly take care of one major gap, and indirectly help with other weak spots.While performing, instead of worrying about getting lost or making mistakes, your mind will be free to focus on the music itself, and you will be able to express yourself better.Even the best players make mistakes, but a masterful knowledge of the fretboard helps to minimize and neutralize them. In other words, if you know the fretboard well, even after a mistake you will fall on your feet, not on your face.You will know exactly what you're playing - notes, scales, chords, or whatever - and that will make everything easier.Because of your superior familiarity with the instrument, you will be a lot more confident and relaxed when you play.Knowing the fretboard "absolutely"Many guitar and bass players can "figure out" a note on the fretboard by "counting" from the nut or another familiar note, but...... are you satisfied with that?See, if I ask you, "What note is the lowest string?" you'll probably reply "E !" immediately (unless you are a complete beginner). You just know it, you don't need to "think" about it, you don't need to "calculate" it from some other note. You just know it.Now, would you like to know the whole fretboard just like that?Difficult, you say?Actually, no, it's not very difficult if you know how to do it...So how do you do it?

AFT supports all stringed instruments like guitar, bass,mandolin, banjo, etc. and left-handed players as well
