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

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.

Excellent tool for learning your way around the fretboard. Some reviewers complain about the accuracy when touching the screen, though if you touch just behind the fret, just as you would on a real fretboard, I find it to be spot on. My only criticism is the rediculous number of adverts.

Nice app. Very useful. However a more realistic design (for instance thicker cords vs thinner frets) would help the visual. Also, I often end up hiring the wrong spot, not sure if I am clumsy or if the hitting zone of the note should be widen or shifted slightly to the left. Otherwise, simple and useful 👍
