About this app

Learn the position of the notes on the fretboard of your bass and improve your reading of the notes of a music sheet, without needing a tabs sheet.

Improve your sheet music reading speed for bass: After this training, you will be able to play any music sheet, even if there is no tabs sheet!

Develop your speed and accuracy in reading sheet music by identifying random music notes in timed sessions: A note is displayed on the music sheet, just tap the right string(s) and fret(s) on the fretboard of the virtual bass (manage multiple correct answers).

Score system based on the options you chose for your session: the harder the options, the higher the score you can achieve!

Each score is saved with its date, so that you can review your progression over time with nice graphics.

Plenty of options to tune your training session:
- Duration of the training
- Duration to answer for each note
- Selection of the strings to train: Practice just one string or the entire fretboard.
- Bass clef or treble clef
- Do Re Mi or CDEF
- Display the numbers of the frets or not
- Display the name of the notes or not

After some practice, you will be able to instantly play any note on your fretboard!

Master the notes of the bass. Music reading becomes easy and fun!

Ratings and reviews

Great for learning location of notes on the fretboard, but that's all it does. Gave it 5

It's a great app, the only issue I have is that the representation of the fretboard is upside-down, same as it is with tablature, which is counter-intuitive. When I visualise my fretboard, the low E is at the top, like I'm seeing it through the back of the neck, and surprisingly, most other people I've asked see it this way too. Maybe an option to flip it the right way up would help people get their head around it easier.

I know that I'm putting the correct answer but the app says it's wrong, especially on the G string but not exclusively . I have large (ish) fingers - I'm a bass player - so sometimes the screen sensitivity puts the note I've tapped a fret above (or below) the correct position but there is no way to erase that error. I do like the way the fretboard, standard notation and name all appear, it's just a shame about the other issues.
