Explore scales on piano and guitar, hear notes and chords, and learn how each scale is built with clear note names, chord colors, and fretboard shapes. Description Scale Explorer is a visual, interactive music theory tool for musicians, students, and curious ears. Pick any root note, choose from nine scale families, and instantly see the notes laid out on a piano keyboard or guitar fretboard, with real instrument sound. Nine scale families. 58 scales. From the seven diatonic modes to pentatonic, blues, bebop, symmetric, and exotic scales from around the world. Every scale is one tap away. • Diatonic — Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian • Harmonic minor modes — including Phrygian dominant and Super Locrian • Melodic minor modes — including Lydian augmented and the Altered scale • Double harmonic modes — Hungarian minor, Oriental, and more • Harmonic major modes • Pentatonic — major, minor, Hirajoshi, In sen, Iwato, Yo, Kumoi, Pelog • Blues & Bebop — minor blues, major blues, bebop dominant, major, and minor • Symmetric — whole tone, diminished, and augmented • Exotic — Persian, Neapolitan, Romanian minor, Enigmatic, and more Hear every note. Play the full scale ascending, strum the tonic chord, or tap individual notes. All with real piano and guitar samples. Watch the notes light up as each one plays. Color-coded by role. Root, third, and fifth degrees are highlighted in distinct colors so you can immediately see the chord tones inside any scale. Piano and guitar views. Switch between a piano keyboard and a six-string guitar fretboard to see where scale notes sit on your instrument of choice. Proper music theory spelling. Notes are spelled diatonically. C harmonic minor shows Eb and Ab, not D# and G#. Accidentals up to double-sharp and double-flat are handled correctly. Available in English, Norwegian, and Italian. All preferences are saved automatically so Scale Explorer picks up exactly where you left off.
