What this free online guitar fretboard note trainer does
This web-based guitar note trainer runs directly in your browser—no download required. Test natural-note recall across the first 12 frets without installing anything. Tap a note position, get instant feedback, and keep moving. The goal is not to count frets or rely on shapes, but to build instant recognition of fretboard notes anywhere on the guitar neck.
How to use it
- Pick a string or start anywhere on the board.
- Tap the note you see and commit quickly (no counting).
- Track where you hesitate and repeat the weakest areas.
- Keep sessions short so you can repeat them daily.
Who this is for
- Beginners who know chord shapes but not note names.
- Self-taught players filling in gaps across the neck.
- Intermediate players chasing faster recall.
- Teachers who want a quick assessment tool.
What good guitar note recall looks like
Aim for clean, fast answers on the first try. If you are hesitating on a specific string or fret area, that is your next practice target. The best results come from short daily sessions with a clear pass condition, not long occasional bursts.

FAQ
Does this free online tool replace the full guitar fretboard note trainer app?
No. This is a quick free web-based tool for browser practice with no download required. The full FretGenius app for iOS and Android adds structured phases, scoring, gates, offline support, and progress tracking.
Can I use this without a guitar?
Yes. The goal is mental note recall. You can always add real playing later to connect it musically.
Is this a full fretboard?
It focuses on the first 12 frets for fast recall. That range covers most core patterns and is the best place to train first.
