Fret Trainer= “No “Fret” Learning” – Fret Trainer - Learn Fretboard Review

I’ve played fingerstyle guitar for decades and have been repeatedly frustrated by “methods” to learn the fretboard. Now that I’m switching to rhythm guitar and strumming it has become a priority. I started with learning the notes on the 5th and 6th strings—very easy. Then, I used the circle of 4ths—BEADGCF—to aid me in visually plotting out the other strings (Look it up online—it really makes sense.). I then added the “L” shape pattern for finding octaves (also easily found online). The problem was practice. All other methods and books and websites offered “flash cards.” Those are clumsy and antiquated. Enter “Fret Board Trainer.” It is an extremely versatile, customizable, easily accessible and portable way to study and quiz your self on notes, chords and scales. I’ve had this app for a a while, but have begun using it to learn and quiz myself. With the use of the above-mentioned shortcuts and the power of Fret Trainer to provide randomized quizzing in a game format, I have nearly “mastered” the fretboard in about a week. I would have paid $50 for this app had I understood its value. I understand how confusing and time consuming looking for the apps that will do exactly what you need them to do. I have plenty of THOSE apps. I don’t write many reviews, but when I do it has to be “knock-your-socks-off” quality. This is such an app. Yes, you will still need to invest the work and mental energy, but Fret Trainer will provide the coaching to help you succeed. I highly recommend this app. Best of luck in your musical journey!!
