Description

Sight-reading skills open the door to reading written music and familiarizing yourself with various music styles. Sight-reading is not a daunting task, and with sufficient practice, anyone can develop this valuable skill.

Our app is designed to help you quickly identify notes across every part of the fretboard, with a special focus on positional playing.

By enhancing your sight-reading abilities, you'll find it easier to focus on other musical aspects like harmony and rhythm.

Features:

PRACTICE & TEST MODE

- Four different modes of use:
1. Locate notes on the fretboard based on the notes in staff.
2. Locate notes on the fretboard based on note name and pitch.
3. Find the names of notes on the staff (without the fretboard)
4. Identify the names of notes presented on the fretboard.

- Automatic detection of problematic notes.


KEY SIGNATURES & SCALES

- Key signature support, from 1 to 6 sharps or 1 to 6 flats.

- Automatic selection of the enharmonic notes for each scale to prevent double sharps or double flats in the key signature.

- Scales include major, minor, melodic minor, harmonic minor, blues, pentatonic, and all modal scales.


FRETS, STRINGS & NOTE SELECTION

- Support for 4, 5 and 6 string bass guitars.

- Frets are grouped to limit the number of notes to practice and test.

- Predefined fret groups, e.g., 0-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 0-12, 13-17, etc.

- You can define custom fret groups.

- The highlighted fret group is displayed on the fretboard.

- Your sight-reading progress is tracked per fret group.

- The longest streak record per fret group measures your sight-reading accuracy.

- You can select specific strings for the highlighted area.

- Test notes can be limited to naturals or notes from a selected scale.


READ AHEAD

- Reading ahead is a crucial skill for effective sight-reading.

- You can adjust the number of notes to read ahead.


OTHER

- Several alternate tunings are available for 4, 5, and 6-string bass guitars.

- Optional extra treble clef for iPad.

- Support for left-handed bass guitars.

- Option to display the fretboard in perspective (in landscape mode).

Underrated gem of an app

I’m surprised this app doesn’t have more reviews and ratings. For £1.99 (no subscription), I have just learned to read the bass clef in C major without making any mistakes, in less than an hour. That alone is worth the money for something I have always been struggling to learn. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn with other app features and settings. The app may look basic, but it gets the job done!

Great bass learning tool

This seems to be a very well crafted bass training tool. Brilliantly created with loads of options. Initially I played it on silent just to identify the note names while watching tv It kept getting wrong answers. I eventually realised that although I identified the right note it was the wrong octave so I got it wrong. Won’t play with sound off in future.

Perfect

This is unique and deep. Want to improve your ability to read ahead in the bass clef? This app has it covered. And that’s just one aspect of this really useful app. And great dev support by the way. Highly recommended. (and none of that subscription nonsense either...great value, no adverts, buy it)
