Description
Sight-reading skills open the door to reading written music and familiarizing yourself with various music styles. Sight-reading is not a daunting task, and with sufficient practice, anyone can develop this valuable skill.
Our app is designed to help you quickly identify notes across every part of the fretboard, with a special focus on positional playing.
By enhancing your sight-reading abilities, you'll find it easier to focus on other musical aspects like harmony and rhythm.
Features:
PRACTICE & TEST MODE
- Four different modes of use:
1. Locate notes on the fretboard based on the notes in staff.
2. Locate notes on the fretboard based on note name and pitch.
3. Find the names of notes on the staff (without the fretboard)
4. Identify the names of notes presented on the fretboard.
- Automatic detection of problematic notes.
KEY SIGNATURES & SCALES
- Key signature support, from 1 to 6 sharps or 1 to 6 flats.
- Automatic selection of the enharmonic notes for each scale to prevent double sharps or double flats in the key signature.
- Scales include major, minor, melodic minor, harmonic minor, blues, pentatonic, and all modal scales.
FRETS, STRINGS & NOTE SELECTION
- Frets are grouped to limit the number of notes to practice and test.
- Predefined fret groups, e.g., 0-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 0-12, 13-17, etc.
- You can define custom fret groups.
- The highlighted fret group is displayed on the fretboard.
- Your sight-reading progress is tracked per fret group.
- The longest streak record per fret group measures your sight-reading accuracy.
- You can select specific strings for the highlighted area.
- Test notes can be limited to naturals or notes from a selected scale.
READ AHEAD
- Reading ahead is a crucial skill for effective sight-reading.
- You can adjust the number of notes to read ahead.
OTHER
- More than 15 alternate guitar tunings e.g., drop D, NST (new standard tuning) and all fourths tuning.
- Support for left-handed guitars.
- Option to display the fretboard in perspective (in landscape mode).
- A universal app compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
- Supports all screen sizes.
- No ads or in-app purchases.

Advantages of disabled scrolling:

This works best while trying a melody or scale in practice mode.

Revising prior review (Sound does not work)
The developer quickly responded to me email and helped me resolve the problem. My iPad has a “mute” button that is separate from the volume control. Although all my other apps had sound, I had to turn mute off for this app, which now produces sound.

Great for guitar sightreading and fretboard memorization
This app was perfect for an intermediate guitar player looking to perfect sightreading. You’ll want to dive in to the options to set the keys that you want to learn and, if you’re like me, to set the mirrored view so that the low E string is on top. Easy to configure speed of testing.
NAPCguy,
Great updates! Very useful
I bought an earlier version and found it really was not useful...
But now, I dig it! I’m a jazz guitar player and this app is just what you need to gain some reading skills!
Keep up the good work!

Great Trainer
This is a great help at both learning to sight read and also learning the fretboard. When I am away from the guitar this is my go to practice tool.
Jcej1,

Perfect for mastering guitar fretboard!!
Please make one just like this for ukulele!!!

Great Learning Tool
I love this app. Been trying to learn guitar for years. I know the value of being able t sightread music and this app ties it together. The app is a bit of a no-frills app, as there is not much customizing you can do. For example I would like an option to leave the sharps and flats off. Also if it had a "review" type lesson that would show you the notes on certain strings. Practice mode is close but you just pick what note you want to see. Still if you want to learn music and the notes on the guitar I reccomend this. If you can't sightread at all you might check out another app to learn that first. I suggest iReadMusic app it rocks. But then get this app too.

Good practice tool
I have played guitar for many years, and always used TABS and chords to figure them out. Now I am ready to advance to sight reading and wish I had done this when I first began. This little tool is very handy for drilling the notes on the fret board. In a few minutes, I had improved my knowledge noticeably. It's easy to understand, and, given the constraints on my iPod (small screen and big clumsy fingers), is well designed.
Only dificulty is that when designating a note, you must touch the close to the fret rather than area behind the fret where my finger would actually land when playing the note. The point where the app decides which fret you are designating seems to be halfway between frets and when I touch where my finger would really land, it could select the fret above or below. This isn't too dificult to get the hang of . . . . and not a deal killer for me deciding to buy this.
It's not loaded down with fancy features and does what it's supposed to do. It's a great application to hone skills while waiting at the dentist, airport, or on a break at the office. Others my argue that it might not be worth the 2.99 that I paid, but for me, it is a bargain. Heck, I would have thrown in another penny to make it an even $3.00. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it is just a tool and I don't want to mislead others into thinking this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Really Good App
I am an intermediate guitar player and I find this app very useful. The developer responds within an hour or so to all my email questions and requests for changes to the app and is genuinely interested in fixing any problems. The folks writing the negative reviews--and several reviews contained good points--really should send him an email to discuss the changes. I did it and he's already submitted a update based on my idea to Apple for release. Btw, I am not affiliated with the developer. I'm just giving an honest review based on my experience.

Must Have Skill Set
I'm in the process of going back and cleaning up some neglected skills. About a month with this $3.00 app, and I'll be closer to where I'm trying to go.I figure that"s quite a bargain for $.10 a day. I even spent 2 years going to Berkleemusic online; I know my fretboard in every way, know my scales, can hold my own in any mix, yet I managed to get behind in my reading ability thanks to the crutches that are better known as tabs. Enough!!! Schools out. Great app. Lots of room for growth for the beginner to the person just looking to sharpen their skills. Incorporate chords next please. The basic ones are easy to figure out in notation; need help with the tensions. Lol.

The fret board is not realistic
Guitar player never looks at the fret board the way it is presented in this app. unless the guitar is hanging on the wall or lying on guitarist knees as a horizontal slide guitar. That is why visually the perception of the fret board is confusing and essentially not helping to develop the right skill. Other apps have more realistic presentation of the fret board in "perspective". Please make an option to change the fret board presentation.
In new version I like tapered guitar better, I would advice developer to keep working on the fret board presentation. Fret grouping is a little awkward. Should be 0-5, 5-7, 7-10, 10-12. Four stars for now.
