How to use
Hide
First, choose a Root Note and whether you want a Major or Minor key. This sets the tonal center for everything you see on the fretboard.
Modes
• Notes: Explore scale notes for the selected key. Pick different scale types (like Natural, Pentatonic, Melodic/Harmonic) to see where those notes live. Colors stay consistent by degree so you can build muscle memory fast.
• Chords: See triads (Root, 3rd, 5th) laid out on adjacent 3-string sets. Choose a String Set, then pick a Shape to place the Root on a specific string. This helps you visualize closed-voicing triads across the neck.
• Scales: View the full diatonic triads in your key (I through vii°). Each chord has a distinct color, and the root of each triad is emphasized with a darker border. Use String Set and Shape to change which string carries the root and how each voicing sits on the fretboard.
Tip: Tap any fret circle to set that note as the new root. Use the legends above the board to understand the color scheme at a glance.
