## What is Guitar Note Finder?

Guitar Note Finder is a tool that will help you with reading music, whether you just started to play the guitar or you are a pro. It will give you the insight to find notes on the whole fretboard of your instrument.

This app was built by a small team of professional guitar teachers from the Netherlands. 

The functionality is very straightforward:
 
You can tap on a staff to see where on the guitar a certain note can be played. You will see this both on an overview picture of a guitar in the middle of the screen, and on a picture of an enlarged position of the guitar. 

You can select which position to be enlarged. If you tap on this position, the corresponding note will appear on the staff.

Both by tapping on the staff and on the enlarged fretboard, you will hear te corresponding tone, and the name of the note will appear on the left side of the staff.

Lastly, you can set the notes on the staff to be sharp or flat, or back to natural.

## Key features

- Find notes on the fretboard
- Tap staff to see note locations
- Enlarged fretboard view
- Hear corresponding tones
- Note names displayed
- Set sharps, flats, and naturals

### 1/5 — Not Very Useful

*2018-11-23, version 1.0*

I am a guitar teacher.

I would like to be able to show four frets of 2nd position or 4th position.  The app jumps to preset positions

I would like to be able to set a range of notes for beginners.   Example - the natural notes on strings 1,2 and 3 on first 3 frets.

The notes on fret board should be a dot - not a line.  Dots are used in almost all guitar literature.

The app as it is is not helpful.
