## What is Fretsy?

Fretsy turns aimless noodling into focused guitar practice.

PRACTICE RANDOMIZER
Tap once and Fretsy deals you a challenge — a key, a scale or arpeggio, and a string to start on — so you stop defaulting to the same three shapes and actually cover the fretboard. Every challenge plays back with real guitar samples, and an interactive neck diagram shows the shape with the root and scale tones color-coded.

23 QUIZZES, FOUR WAYS TO LEVEL UP
• Fretboard — name notes, intervals, triads, chords, CAGED shapes, inversions, and scale degrees; tap-the-neck challenges like Find the Note and Spot the Wrong Note.
• Ear Training — identify intervals and scales purely by sound, played on real guitar.
• Theory — key signatures, capo math, chord spelling, diatonic chords, extensions.
• Reading — real staff notation and tablature: read tab licks, chords, and symbols.

Every quiz has three difficulty levels, remembers what you miss and brings it back until you own it, and keeps per-quiz streaks and bests. An optional timer turns any quiz into a speed drill.

BUILT FOR REAL PRACTICE
• Works 100% offline — bundled audio, no internet required.
• No account, no sign-up, and no data collected.
• Real guitar samples, not beeps.

FREE AND PRO
Every quiz and the practice randomizer are free at Beginner level. One $4.99 purchase unlocks Intermediate & Advanced everywhere, plus practice power tools (playback directions, the neck diagram, full-coverage runs, and the timer). One-time — no subscription.
