Fastest Fretboard Mastery
Every guitar/bass player knows that they *should* have the fretboard memorized, but they don't because it's tedious and boring. Fret Pro can do all the hard work for you! With just 10 minutes a day, you’ll have the fretboard memorized in no time. It's easy and fun!

SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF YOUR INSTRUMENT
Having the notes on your guitar or bass fretboard memorized is the most important step toward becoming fluent in the language of your instrument. When you master the fretboard, you can spend less time thinking and more time enjoying playing music.

PLAYER HIGHLIGHTS
- "I’ve had lessons on-and-off for 10 years, but never did the work of really knowing the notes on the fretboard. I didn’t think it really mattered. But now, concepts I slightly understood before are falling into place, and I’m able to communicate with my teacher in the same language. Recommended."
- "I’ve been struggling to memorize the notes on the fretboard for awhile now. This app really helped me get the practice I needed!"

LEARN GUITAR FRETBOARD FAST

TIPS
- The Fret Pro app works best with an acoustic guitar or bass, or an electric guitar or bass with amplifier. It will also work for an unamplified electric guitar and bass in very quiet environments.
- The app listens for you to play the correct note, but that doesn't mean you can't make things more exciting. Try practicing different picking patterns, techniques, and rhythms.
- Use your favorite effects and pedals like delay, reverb, or distortion! We'll still recognize if you play the right note… though pitch modulating effects probably won't work :)
- Try to visualize a fretboard in your mind as you play each note. Can you play each note without looking at your fretboard?
- Use the String Focus in settings to hone in on a specific string until you know it by heart.

Memorizing the notes on your guitar or bass is a great way to take your playing to the next level. Supplement your current music practice or lessons with ten minutes per day and you'll be surprised at how fast you learn the notes.


NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER
Hi! Fret Pro is an indie app made by one guy (me!), who is deeply passionate about music. It is my top priority to build an app that is actually *useful*. There is no nonsense and no tricks to steal your time or money. I actually want the Fret Pro app to be so good that you can STOP using it because it served its purpose (helping you memorize the notes) and you don't need it anymore!

Got an idea to help make Fret Pro better? Send me a message at [email protected]! The app is under active development and I’m constantly thinking of ways to make memorizing and visualizing the fretboard faster and easier. Thanks so much for your support, feedback, and reviews!

Great concept, but…

The app makes too many mistakes. I have tried multiple guitars, two ipads and adjusted the background filter settings and different input location settings for the microphone, but nonetheless about every 5th to 10th input it will either: a. flash red like I misplayed the note immediately before I even get a chance to play the note; b. not recognize that I am playing the correct note, even though my guitar is in tune and the app itself shows I am playing the correct note when I go into the settings; c. get stuck where it won’t move off a note and won’t turn green or red, but just flash gray like I am not playing at a high enough volume. I can clear this by telling it to show the fretboard and playing the note there and then going through the steps to hide the fretboard but that is very tedious. Also, on one of my ipads, if I exit back to the main screen and then come back later to play, it can’t pick up any guitar sounds unless I swipe the app closed and reopen it. I would switch to five stars if these problems could be fixed. UPDATING: At the developer’s suggestion I upped the bass knob on my amp and turned down the treble and mid range and that mostly fixed things. I think the app will now help me upgrade my reasonable fret board knowledge to my goal of locating the notes without any conscious thought or effort.

40 dollars for unlocking the app...

40 dollars is too high of an ask for this basic of an app. Or you can do a monthly payment, like every other app asks for nowadays. Monthly payment doesn't even makes sense for this type of app, it's greedy.

Update: Still Perfect Fretboard Drills App!

The latest update is a nice improvement. As I’ve improved my note-finding, speed has become more important. This new version is faster, and since it respects the Accessibility voice settings, I get an even faster drills session. Original review: It does its one-thing really well: help you gradually develop muscle-memory across the fretboard. It’s easy to imagine a tennis coach spending 20 minutes with a player on drills shot after shot. But I can’t imagine a guitar coach spending even 10 minutes on play-this-note, play-that-note drills. This app is that coach, running drills and giving feedback. I’ve had lessons on-and-off for 10 years, but never did the work of really knowing the notes on the fretboard. I didn’t think it really mattered. But now, concepts I slightly understood before are falling into place, and I’m able to communicate with my teacher in the same language. Recommended.

Concept is just what I wanted

But IPhone mic doesn’t seem to pick up correct notes played even though GuitarTuna tuner has no trouble identifying notes through same mic.

Effective training method

I’ve been playing guitar about 18 months but struggled with learning notes’ names. For about a week, I spent an hour a day with this app. It gets tedious. But it’s effective. Now that I know the notes, it’s like a superpower!

Excellent!

As a beginner to intermediate guitar player, this is a great tool… as someone who writes software for a living, this is a really thoughtful and well crafted app with beautiful font choices, great use of animation and real feature richness. I’m really pleased!
