Default is now much better at ignoring string noise. 3.1.0 - Virtual fretboard mode now automatically focuses on a 5-6 area of the fretboard when practicing on phone with narrow screen.

Obviously not for banjo

Subscribed because it said it was for banjo also. Then it said it needed to set it up and that I should play “5th string/5th fret”….. on a banjo.

Consistently does not recognize notes

I'm in a quiet room, tried recalibrating several times - the app even recognized them in "audio settings", but when practicing consistently doesnt recognize G3 (and sometimes other notes), otherwise it's a great app.

Something is Working

I decided I want to learn all the notes across the guitar fretboard. I am practicing on guitar as mush as possible, but throughout the day I am also getting in mental exercises with this app (I use it without the guitar). It all seems to be working. I am really seeing the fretboard now and the patterns of notes. This app is exactly what I wanted to have. Something simple and fast to practice. And I think it’s really helping me because I definitely can find notes much better than before and am about 80% to knowing the whole fretboard without much hesitation.

Sensitivity

Just so-so, even after adjusting from normal to sensitive, especially on the thinner strings.

FAQ

What does Fret Pro Guitar Notes Trainer do?

This app helps guitar and bass players memorize the notes on their fretboard. It uses scientifically proven spaced-repetition techniques to make learning efficient and fun. You practice by playing notes on your actual instrument, building both knowledge and muscle memory.

How does the app help me learn the fretboard?

The app breaks down fretboard memorization into small, manageable practice sessions. It utilizes spaced repetition, a method proven to enhance memory retention. By playing notes on your guitar or bass, you actively engage with the fretboard, leading to faster mastery.

Is Fret Pro Guitar Notes Trainer free to use?

The app offers free features, including playing natural notes on the first two strings of your guitar or bass, tracking your progress, and using your device's microphone. To unlock all notes on all strings and focus practice on specific areas, an upgrade is available.

What instruments does Fret Pro Guitar Notes Trainer support?

The app supports a wide range of instruments including 6, 7, and 8-string guitars, as well as 4, 5, and 6-string basses. It also accommodates mandolin and guitarlele/ukitar. Users can contact support if they need assistance with other instruments.

How can I get the most out of practicing with Fret Pro?

For best results, use the app with an acoustic or amplified electric guitar or bass. Practice in a quiet environment. You can also experiment with different picking patterns and rhythms, and try visualizing the fretboard as you play each note. The 'String Focus' feature is excellent for honing in on specific strings.
