An educational game to learn the location of notes on the fretboard of the guitar and other stringed instruments. Eleven instruments are available, including bass (4/5/6 strings), mandolin, ukulele and banjo. You are presented with a random note on the fretboard, and are offered a variety of choices for the correct answer. Just pick the button corresponding to the correct choice to score a hit! The new staff training mode also helps you learn the position of notes on the musical staff on the fretboard of your instrument. As your score gets better and you manage to identify notes faster across the entire fretboard, your working knowledge of the instrument increases! Game mode provides a fun way to make progress. Work your way through levels of increasing difficulty and compete with your friends! WHAT ARTISTS SAY ABOUT THE APP “ Learning the notes on the fretboard is key to any guitarist's development on the instrument, and [Fretuoso] is a neat way to get that info burned into your brain without having to carry a guitar with you everywhere you go. Pretty cool! ” -- Bryan Beller (Dethklok, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally) “ This is one of the best apps I've seen in a while. It's simple, fun and educational. Very useful for guitar players as a lot of [them] tend to play by ear and not care much about knowing the fretboard. ” -- Rick Musallam (Mike Keneally, Gryphon Labs) FEATURES - Train your ear while improving your working knowledge of the instrument. - Learn the position of notes on the musical staff; say goodbye to tabs! - Ten different beautiful, realistic-looking instruments! Includes 4 guitars, 3 basses, mandolin, ukulele and banjo. - Focus your training on particular parts of the fretboard: any range of frets, any subset of the strings. - Many common tunings are built in, but custom tunings can also be created. - Visualize your progress on the fretboard; statistics are kept for every fret. - Smart Learning Engine: the app automatically focuses on sections of the fretboard where you are weaker. - Integration with Game Center, Twitter and Facebook: compete with your friends and share your progress! - Left-handed mode is available. This version comes with free access to a limited subset of each of the available instruments. Each of the instruments can be fully unlocked via in-app purchase.

    Ease of use …
    “The more that you can show “would-be” guitarists direct lines to “real-world music” … the more that these dreams can become new ideas, ready to adapt to any number of dreams !!! Show more

    Ukulele fret board trainer
    I am left handed, so there is no option to switch alignment in the app. I want to cancel my subscription, but there are no clear directions and it is not found on my Apple subscriptions in settings. This means I will have to call my credit card to cancel. Not good. Please do better in the future. Yours, Lin Buer Show more

    Love it. Wish 4 1 improvement.
    I LOVE this app. The only ask I’d have is if there could b an adjustment for image size. OR, even better; a version for pc. U can’t see the whole fretboard on my smartphone. Show more

    True left hand mode please!
    Re-ordering the strings while keeping the headstock on the left is wrong. I really want to like this app and it's wrong to judge it harshly solely on this one issue, but this is a big deal. If the shoe (literally?) were on the other foot, you would do something about it. Edit: I’m disappointed that this hasn’t been addressed, years later. Left hand guitar isn’t upside down right hand.

    Decent but too many ads
    Great teaching app but the ads are absolutely overwhelming. It is not worth the time wasted in ads.
