Learning the fretboard can be challenging. The challenge is even greater when mapping different notations to the fretboard. Learn Frets can prompt you to play a note on your guitar in different notations (name, sheet, or tab) and then assess whether you played the correct note or not.  This feedback loop will help you memorize your fretboard in a way that's interactive and engaging. FREE FEATURES - Listens for notes played on your real guitar. - Shows prompts for the first string. - Natural and/or Accidental note prompts. - Accidental notes displayed as Sharp, Flat, or dynamically selected. - Tracks progress for every note. UPGRADE FEATURES - Unlocks all strings and frets. Learn Frets works best on a 6-string acoustic guitar, with your microphone in front of you. The Learn Frets app will request access to your microphone to do this.
