FretBoardMastery

Most guitarists learn shapes. Very few learn the neck. FretBoardMastery drills the fretboard one note at a time until finding any note anywhere becomes instant. It asks for a note on a string. You play it. The app listens through the microphone and tells you whether you got it — no tapping, no guessing, no looking away from your instrument. LEARN BY PLAYING, NOT BY TAPPING Pitch detection runs live on your device. Play the note the drill asks for and it knows. That closes the loop between the name of a note and the physical act of finding it, which is the part that actually transfers to playing music. NO GUITAR? NO PROBLEM Practising on a train, or away from your instrument? Choose "I'll tap the fretboard" on the welcome screen and answer by tapping the fret instead. Same drills, same progress. BUILT-IN TUNER A live tuner with note name, frequency, and signal readout. Tune up without leaving the app. PROGRESS THAT MEANS SOMETHING Track accuracy and reaction time per note and per string. Build combos for fast, correct answers. Climb the belt ranks from white to black as your recall gets sharper. The progress screen shows you exactly which notes you still hesitate on. PRACTISE WHAT YOU CHOOSE Pick which strings to drill. Limit targets to the first twelve frets while you're learning, then open up the whole neck. Turn on a countdown if you want the pressure. Switch between guitar and bass — progress is tracked separately for each. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. No network connections at all. Microphone audio is analysed on your device in real time to work out pitch, and is never recorded, stored, or sent anywhere. Your progress stays on your device. Requires iOS 18.2 or later. Landscape orientation. Pitch detection works best on one clear note at a time.
