About this app

Guitar Note Trainer will help you to learn the 4-string, 6-string and 7-string guitar fretboard notes, in different conventional naming and staff notation. This app provides all you need to meet this goal, in an intuitive and flexible way, such as visualization, listening, practice including with a real instrument, sight-reading, gaming, training ear and finger memory. It is useful as for beginners, so for those who already have basic skills and want to make them perfect.
The tuning of the guitar simulator can be customized to range from F# (contra octave) to B (3 line octave) with different sounds (acoustic steel, electric distortion, nylon).

Guitar Note Trainer has 6 modes:
★ Note Explorer
★ Note Trainer
★ Note Practicum
★ Note Game
★ Note Tuner
★ Note Theory

EXPLORER MODE displays/hides notes on the fretboard or on its diagram, using various user-adjustable filters and highlighting, and also allows you to choose the explorer action for touching notes on the fretboard of the guitar simulator.

TRAINER MODE includes the following features:
★ Customizable trainer profile that defines the area and the notes on fretboard you would like to focus on
★ Trainer can generate 9 types of questions that covers all the possibilities of identifying notes
★ Full statistics tracking for each note and totals for trainer profile
★ Creating new trainer profile by trouble spots in the statistics

PRACTICUM MODE allows recognizing requested notes of a real instrument (also it can be set in auto-answering mode). Thus, you train both, note recollection and finger memory.
The practicum mode includes the following features:
★ Customizable practicum profile that defines the area and the notes on fretboard you would like to focus on.
★ Practicum can generate 7 types of questions that cover all the possibilities of identifying notes for this mode
★ Full statistics tracking for each note and totals for practicum profile
★ Creating new practicum profile by trouble spots in the statistics
IMPORTANT: To use this mode, for recognition of the notes of the real instrument, you need to enable the permission of microphone access.

GAME MODE offers a more efficient way of verifying the knowledge and learning the notes on the guitar fretboard by playing and having fun.

TUNER MODE is a guitar tuner (45-2034 Hz) that displays on the fretboard all the positions of the recognized note of the real instrument, frequency and its staff notation.

THEORY MODE includes the basic theory of musical notes and some useful charts and hints for learning the notes on the fretboard.

By using the application for a few minutes each day, it is possible quickly to learn all the notes (in any notation) on the guitar fretboard.

Love this app for drilling on where the staff pitches map to the fretboard.Im just doing first position now, but plan to learn 5th position too. It takes tons of reps, but easy to do while away from my guitar.havent explored the other features yet, but will. Only thing I wish is that I could shrink the fretboard to just focus on the frets I'm learning, instead of having to see the full fb all the time.

You will learn the fretboard, which is great if that's your intent. However, you will also be forced to learn music notation. If you already know music notation, too bad -- you can't disable specific types of exercises, which would be a useful feature. I'm not disappointed but there is room for improvement.

This lis quite good app once you learn your way round it, However I would like the option of missing out the five second limit which is very frustrating if your just learning this would be ok in an advanced mode, would also like to be able to start or concentrate on different sections on the fret board. After playing this for a while getting fed up going over the first five frets. I have tried the different game levels still think the five second limit to play would be better if choice o longer

For now there is "Starting level" option in game settings which makes game starting having the first frets already opened.
