App Description

Learning the location of all of the notes on your string instrument can help you become a better player. It makes it easier to find alternate chord voicings, break out of scale boxes, learn note relationships, and find notes that “fit” when improvising. Note-orious will help you learn the location of every note on the fretboard for the guitar (6, 7, and 8 string and tenor guitar), bass (4, 5, and 6 string), ukulele, banjo, mandolin, or bouzouki (3 and 4 string). Note-orious supports a variety of tunings for each instrument.

Features Include:

• Three different learning modes: Find all occurrences of a note on the fretboard, name the note shown on the fretboard, and a mix of the two.
• Choose from a variety of instruments (Guitar, Bass, Banjo, Ukulele, Mandolin, and Bouzouki) with different tunings available for each instrument.
• Keep track of your progress overall, as well as for individual strings and notes.
• Choose which strings to practice.
• Choose which notes to practice.
• Choose how sharps and flats are presented (only sharps, only flats, or a random mix).
• Set the practice time or choose an open-ended practice.
• Syncs your progress across multiple devices via iCloud.
• Left handed mode!
• Multiple fretboard materials and inlay options.
• Progress tracking is based on practice configuration, so you can keep track of your progress with different instruments, tunings, and other options.
• Support for Dark Mode.
• Buy it once and get Note-orious on the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
