Fret Map
Find musical scales and intervals across the fretboard
Find scale and chord tones across the fretboard and connect their positions with interval names, note spelling and the sound of your chosen tuning.
Key idea
Moving one fret raises a string by one semitone. A scale degree is defined relative to the chosen root, so a fretboard pattern combines two structures: the tuning of the strings and the intervals of the scale.
Try this first
Choose C Major (Ionian) and locate its notes across the guitar fretboard. Follow the same pitch class on more than one string, then change the root. Compare what moves with the root and what stays tied to the instrument tuning.
How to get started
- Select an instrument or tuning available in your version.
- Choose the root and search for a scale.
- Explore highlighted positions and compare their intervals and note names.
Explore a little further
Try another experiment
Follow one scale along a single string, then find its notes across neighboring strings. Compare horizontal movement with movement across the neck. Look for repeated notes rather than assuming every position is a new pitch.
Good to know
Highlighted positions show note relationships, not a prescribed fingering for every hand or musical phrase. Lite uses a selected scale library; full access expands the available options.
