About this tool

About the Fretboard Note Trainer

The Fretboard Note Trainer turns memorizing the guitar neck into a quick, repeatable game. Choose 'Find the note' to locate a named note on a given string, or 'Name the note' to identify a highlighted position. Four difficulty levels move you from the first five frets and natural notes up to all twelve notes across the full 24-fret neck. Every answer plays back with real sampled acoustic, electric, or classical guitar sound, and your accuracy and streak are tracked so you can measure progress. Switch between sharp and flat notation and any of 27 tunings, and flip on octave mode to see true scientific pitch (E2, A4) when you're ready to tell the same note apart across octaves. A timed challenge runs by default — keep the classic 60 seconds, choose 30, 90, or 120 seconds, set a custom length, or turn the timer off entirely for untimed practice.
