Fretonomy is the ultimate educational game to learn the notes and chords on the fretboard of the guitar and other stringed instruments. There are 9 instruments available to practice on:

Guitar

Choose your instrument and pick one of the many games available to you to practice the fretboard until you have mastered every fret and every chord pattern.

Customize your experience by selecting which section of the fretboard you want to practice on. Practice the first frets, a section in the middle, or the entire fretboard.

Many games are available. Choose how you want to train. Learn by simply matching random notes with the fret on the fretboard, or try something different with the Color Matching game!

Learn and master all kinds of chord patterns on the guitar with the Name Chord game. Choose which chords you want to practice on any section of the fretboard, and go at your own pace. You will learn to identify any chord pattern very quickly!

Learn how to quickly read notes on a staff in the Staff game. Choose whatever section of the staff you want to practice on, choose the staff type, and start training!

Or master the fretboard and staff at the same time in the Staff and Fretboard game. Select a fret on the fretboard that matches a note on the staff!

Explore scales on the fretboard of your instrument with the Scale Explorer game. Choose a root note, pick one of the 63 different scales available, and start memorizing your scale. Change the color of the notes on the fretboard to identify intervals easier.

Create your own songs on the fly and learn how to play them right away using the Chord Progression generator tool. Any popular chord progression can be generated in any scale you want. Play along to the chords of your progression by using the playback feature to practice the shapes.

View your progress as statistics are logged for each instrument, tuning, and fret. A heat-map is used to show your progress. Share your progress with your friends!

HiFiMonki ,

Amazing!

Just 5 minutes a day with this app and all the monotony of the stuff you just have to memorize is gone. Been using it on my commutes to work for a few years and the app just keeps getting better. Excellent games. Excellent content. Many instruments with a variety of tunings and settings. Had an issue and got a response from the developer in the same day. So excellent communication also. Just buy it if you are playing an instrument and want to get the music theory memorization part of your practice done efficiently.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much HiFiMonki. I really appreciate your support, and I'm very happy to hear you are finding the app useful. Thank you!

Happy user!!

I am enjoying this app as it has really helped me learn the notes on my guitar. It follows a very good strategy to learn without getting overwhelmed. I have a feature request though that sounds really appealing and helpful in the learning process in my opinion. I would love to see a functionality where it lets you define a training session where you set a time period for it and then during the defined time, the app randomly switches between strings and stay on one for a set duration and asks you to name notes on that string only and when the time is over it will switch to another string until you’ve worked your way through all the strings. For example, in a 12 minutes session, it will start with 2 minutes on low E, then switches to D after 2 minutes and stays on it for another 2 minutes and so on until you’ve practiced naming notes on all the strings. I hope this suggestion helps making this app even more useful and practical but like I said, I love it just the way it is.

Subscription, no thanks!

This looks like a very well put together app. I tested it out and was willing to purchase. Then realized it was a monthly and yearly subscription. No thanks. A one time fee should be plenty. Greedy developers
