ScalePractice Guitar
Guitar scales in five shapes
$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
311 exercises, each exactly once: one key, one position, the shape that fits. Pentatonic to full scale without moving your hand. Tuner and metronome included.
ScalePractice hands you one scale exercise after another: a key, a position, the
matching shape on the fretboard. You play it, then fetch the next. 311 exercises,
each one exactly once before any of them comes round again.
THE FIVE POSITIONS
Every scale in the five positions of the CAGED system — E, D, C, A and G. Above
the fretboard you see which one is up and which fret the root sits in.
ONE POSITION, EVERY SCALE
All the scales of a position sit in the same place on the neck: the pentatonic
sets the fret window, blue notes and the remaining degrees join it inside. You
move between pentatonic, blues pentatonic and the full scale (Aeolian and
Ionian) without moving your hand — in minor as in major.
FOR SOLOING
Improvising needs the scales in every position and every key — not just the two
that sit under your hand by themselves. Those are the gaps the round closes,
because it leaves no exercise out.
TUNER
Play a string, read the needle. Against concert pitch A4 = 440 Hz.
LISTENING
The microphone listens while you practise, and the note you played lights up on
the fretboard for a moment. One note at a time — the detection cannot tell
chords apart.
METRONOME AND SOUND
Metronome from 30 to 300 beats. Tap a dot to hear it on its own, or have the
whole scale played to you — with the sound of a steel string, not a synthesiser.
YOUR SETTINGS
What comes up and how far up the neck. Intervals or note names on the dots. Note
naming German (H), international (B) or solfège (Do–Re–Mi). Fretboard across or
upright, left-handed mode, light or dark. Four languages: German, English,
Spanish, French.

New: one key to improvise in. Pick it at the top of Setup and only its scales come up, in the positions you chose. “All” stays the default.
