What Guitarists Say
Real reviews from the App Store and Google Play
"I have spent the last 2 years or so trying to memorize the fretboard using different techniques from YouTube guitar teachers, and they all only led me to memorize patterns and not actually learn the notes. After about a month of using this app regularly, I am pretty close to having the whole fret board memorized! About another month or so and I think it is very likely that by the end of January 2026, I'll have it fully memorized and visualized! I'll finally be able to, once I memorize all the major, minor and pentatonic scale notes (not shapes) be able to improvise freely! THANK YOU!"
