Description
An educational game to learn the location of notes on the fretboard of the guitar and other stringed instruments. Eleven instruments are available, including bass (4/5/6 strings), mandolin, ukulele and banjo.
You are presented with a random note on the fretboard, and are offered a variety of choices for the correct answer. Just pick the button corresponding to the correct choice to score a hit!
The new staff training mode also helps you learn the position of notes on the musical staff on the fretboard of your instrument.
As your score gets better and you manage to identify notes faster across the entire fretboard, your working knowledge of the instrument increases!
Game mode provides a fun way to make progress. Work your way through levels of increasing difficulty and compete with your friends!
WHAT ARTISTS SAY ABOUT THE APP
“ Learning the notes on the fretboard is key to any guitarist's development on the instrument, and [Fretuoso] is a neat way to get that info burned into your brain without having to carry a guitar with you everywhere you go. Pretty cool! ”
-- Bryan Beller (Dethklok, Steve Vai, Mike Keneally)
“ This is one of the best apps I've seen in a while. It's simple, fun and educational. Very useful for guitar players as a lot of [them] tend to play by ear and not care much about knowing the fretboard. ”
-- Rick Musallam (Mike Keneally, Gryphon Labs)

Ratings and Reviews
Great app
Had this app for just over a week and I feel like I’ve made good progress learning the notes in the free version for the first 6 frets
And being able to check your stats to see your progress moving along I did take a screenshot after my first session and I was able to keep checking progress on how fast you take to hit the note and the percentage of hits to miss ratio which is good also by turning on notifications does remind me to do it each day thanks I will be buying the full app thanks
Fun way to learn fretboard
Really fun and nicely made app for learning the fretboard. The only issue is making sure I keep making time to use it.
Suspect ads
The app is ok but one of the ads came up trying to convert me to Christianity or something and the options to close the ad or go to the website being advertised looked like they were in Hebrew so as to try and hide what I was going to be selecting. Uninstalled for something with less hassle/risk.
