ModeWise helps guitarists understand modes, scales and fretboard patterns visually. Choose a key and mode, then see the notes laid out across a standard-tuned 24-fret guitar. Explore the full neck, focus on a smaller fretboard area, switch between note names and scale degrees, and hear playable notes with built-in practice playback. Whether you are learning modes for the first time or trying to connect theory to the fretboard, ModeWise gives you a clear, practical way to see what is happening under your fingers. Features: • Explore all core diatonic modes • Visualise major and minor pentatonic scales • See notes across the full 24-fret neck • Focus on smaller fretboard regions for practice • Switch between note names and scale degrees • Highlight root notes clearly • Add pentatonic blue notes • Use extended pattern and three-notes-per-string options • Practise focused patterns with playback • Adjust BPM, subdivision and repeat settings • Use a clean, focused interface built for guitar practice ModeWise is designed to make the fretboard feel less mysterious. Instead of memorising disconnected boxes, you can see how modes, roots, intervals and patterns relate to each other across the neck. Start with a key. Pick a mode. See it. Hear it. Practise it.
