Map, then time
Learning
Knowing a chord shape is not the same as knowing which note you are on. The trainer asks you to name a lit fret or to find a pitch class somewhere on fifteen frets of standard tuning. The scale chart draws major, minor, pentatonic, blues and a few modes, on screen and as a PDF. The metronome is here because a shape at no tempo is only half a practice.
Tools in this section
Fretboard trainer
Two drills on a standard-tuned neck, fifteen frets, inlays at 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 and 15. The score lasts for this visit only. Sharps or flats.
Scale chart generator
Pick a root and a scale: major, natural minor, pentatonics, blues, Dorian, Mixolydian or harmonic minor. See it on fifteen frets and download the note names. Standard tuning.
Guitar metronome
A click with beats per bar, an accent on 1, and tap tempo. The scheduler uses the audio clock so the pulse does not drift. It does not listen for pitch.
What this section refuses
It does not grade you across visits. The score dies with the tab, on purpose: there is no account and no local storage. It does not teach songs. If you want a written plan for the hour, the practice planner is a sheet, not a streak. If you want the guitar in tune first, that is still the tuner at the front of the site.
A small loop that works
Two minutes of naming notes, one scale on the chart, then the metronome at a tempo you can keep. Stop while it is still clean. The pages do not watch you, so the stopping is yours.
Questions
- Is there ear training?
- The trainer is the eye on the neck. Matching a pitch by ear is the tone generator beside the tuner, not a separate quiz with hidden audio.
- Which tuning?
- Standard, so the dots match the usual note names. DADGAD moves the B string; do not use these dots after you retune.
