About this app

The Justin Guitar Fretboard Note Trainer is an app to help you learn the notes on the guitar neck (one of the most essential skills for progressing guitarists) using some awesome, fun and progressive games that you can play anywhere!

It has four training modes, Name The Note where you have to name the note shown on the neck, Find A Note where you have to find a given note on the neck in all 6 positions, Memory Quiz 1 where you have to name a note having been given it's position, and Memory Quiz 2 where you must name all the notes across a given fret (a tough one!!).

There are some "Easy" options for those just starting out to limit your range of answers.

You also have an audio option to hear the notes as you select them!

If you really need to cheat you can swipe your finger diagonally across the fretboard and all the notes will show for a second :)

I'm sure you'll find this app very helpful, all you need to add is practice time!

Best wishes, Justin

Good start, but room for improvement. I wish there was a way to select which strings and which frets you want to learn, so you can learn in stages and focus on the areas where you struggle, and make the app more useful for bass players. Competing apps have this functionality. Also, the scoring for the Find the Note game seems off. Finding all 8 Es only counts as one correct answer, but every mistake made counts as a wrong answer. I'm happy to support JustinGuitar, though. :)

The next version (currently in beta testing) will allow you to select which strings you are tested on. We are working on an update for the scoring to make it more consistent.

I enjoy using the app. One issue I think could easily be fixed to improve the experience of the user would be if the correct and incorrect count in the top right reset everytime you start. Also, I think the statistics page would be more useful if it was broken down by session so you could see your progress over time with each mode.

Nice app! Much nicer and faster than other similar apps i tried. Especially like the ability to practice/learn without a timer running (BIG PLUS!!). This is an excellent app for learning. Excellent graphics too, you can see that in the pictures, looks like a real guitar fret board right down to the string thickness. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn the fret board. Now you don't need your guitar to practice, you can practice anyplace you can take your device.

What's new

We've updated the app to use the latest Android libraries.

We've added a fretboard reference section to the app so that you can revise the notes on the fretboard.

There is also the option to be tested on Whole Notes only (no sharps or flats).

We've also fixed an issue some users were having with the settings not setting correctly, and where strings weren't displaying correctly in left handed mode.

If you have any feedback or ideas for the app then please let us know.
