Fretonomy - Learn Fretboard

Master the fretboard with Fretonomy - Learn Fretboard, an interactive app that teaches you to play guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, banjo, and other stringed instruments through game-based practice.

Choose from 9 instruments including standard and extended-range guitars, multiple bass configurations, and traditional options like mandolin and banjo. Each instrument comes with common tunings, custom tuning support, and left-handed mode. Start with the free content covering the first few frets, then unlock full access to any instrument through in-app purchase.

Practice exactly what you need. Customize your training by selecting specific fret ranges—focus on the first few frets while you're learning, target the middle section for intermediate skills, or work through the entire fretboard. This targeted approach means you spend time on what matters most to your current level.

Engage with over 30 games and tools designed for different learning styles. Match random notes to their frets in the core matching game. Try Color Matching for a visual twist. Master chord patterns with the Name Chord game, where you identify and practice specific chord shapes across your chosen fret range. Use the Staff game to learn reading music notation, then combine fretboard and staff knowledge in the integrated Staff and Fretboard game. Explore the 950+ available scales through the Scale Explorer, adjust note colors to highlight intervals, and generate popular chord progressions to practice shapes against actual playback.

Track your improvement with detailed statistics and a heat-map that shows which frets and patterns you've mastered. Progress logging covers each instrument, tuning, and fret individually, giving you a clear picture of your strengths and areas needing work. Share your progress with friends to stay motivated.

Access multiple note notation systems to support your musical background: Solfege, Number, German, Japanese, Indian, Cyrillic, and Korean. Strengthen your ear with dedicated ear training for notes, intervals, and chords. Write and save original song ideas using the integrated tablature tool with audio recording, lyrics, and automatic chord progression generation.

Fretonomy - Learn Fretboard combines structured practice with creative exploration, making it effective for beginners building fundamentals and experienced players refining their technique across any stringed instrument.
