Been playing guitar for a while and still don't know the fretboard?

2. Practice with your real guitar or on-screen quizzes
3. Your AI Coach analyzes your sessions and adapts to you
4. See real progress week after week
5. Learn the whole fretboard step by step without overwhelm

FINALLY:

I've been playing guitar my whole life, but was always chronically stuck at the intermediate level. I decided to get serious about learning and applying theory, and quickly realized I needed to commit the fretboard to memory, at least enough to play along with tracks. I downloaded all the similar apps I could find, and this one emerged as my favorite. It's not perfect. I think the time-gated phase checks are pointless and buggy. Still, it does a good job of presenting the information I need.

Hi David! Thanks for the 5 stars and honest feedback, glad it became your favorite! Quick ask: what felt buggy? Even one example helps a lot (in-app Feedback works great). On time-gated checks: the spacing helps knowledge stick long-term. I know it feels like friction though! Happy practicing! David

FretGenius is the best fretboard trainer app I found or at least the one most in line with what I was looking for. It offers a gamified experience that is addicting and actually makes me practice every day. One thing I would really like is being able to see the entire "skill tree" - the stages I've conquered and those I'm yet to master (Duolingo let's you see this). I guess I like knowing where I stand :) But awesome work!

Thank you very much Marko! I agree with you about the skill tree, seeing how far you've come and what's next is motivating. I'll definitely work on that. Thanks again for taking the time to write a review and happy practicing!

Solid app. The phase advance time-out feature is annoying, and there should be a way to turn it off and/or reduce the time. I want to use the app but I dont need to wait 8 hours between learning the E string and A string.
