Fretling puts the fretboard first. Say what you want to learn in plain language — "I want to learn Scales in E Major" — and see it laid out on an interactive neck you can tap to hear.
No theory jargon at the front door. The depth is there when you want it.
SEE IT ON THE NECK
• Scales — major, minor, both pentatonics, and blues, drawn across the whole neck
• Chords — from triads to extensions, with real fingerings from a built-in chord database
• Triads — three-note shapes grouped by string set
• CAGED boxes, pentatonic positions, and 3-notes-per-string as overlays you switch on below the neck
HEAR IT
Tap any note to play it. Play a whole scale or strum the chord you're looking at. Note playback uses a real sampled instrument, so what you see on the neck is what you hear.
PLUG IN YOUR GUITAR (FRETLING PRO)
Connect a USB-C audio interface and monitor your guitar through Fretling. The amp runs Neural Amp Modeler profiles — clean, crunch, warm, and acoustic models are built in, and you can load your own .nam files. Record what you play with the built-in looper and practice over it. Use headphones or an interface: monitoring through the built-in speaker feeds back into the built-in mic, and the amp will tell you so.
MAKE IT YOURS
• Labels: note names, interval numbers, or nothing at all
• Colors: full color or gray
• Accidentals: sharps or flats, and Fretling spells everything to match
• Limit the fret range to just the part of the neck you're working on
• 14 app icons to pick from
CHORD ATLAS
Browse the whole chord catalog from the header — pick a root and a quality, preview how it sounds, and see it land on the neck. Chord Atlas knows the key you're in, so it shows the Roman numeral too — and names borrowed harmony, secondary dominants and modal interchange, on sight.
IDENTIFY A CHORD
Flip from "learn" to "identify" and the neck becomes a blank canvas. Tap the notes you're fingering and Fretling names the chord: the primary reading, why it's that chord, its Rom…
