Quick guide

Your fretboard, made simple.

  1. Choose a chord. Coloured markers show exactly what to play. × means mute; ○ means play open.
  2. Hear it. Press “Strum chord”, click a string, or sweep your pointer across the strings.
  3. Follow tabs. Paste ordinary tab and the fretboard will light up as it plays.
  4. Play progressions. Choose a key and pattern, then follow each highlighted chord or load it as tab.
  5. Tune up. Allow microphone access and play one clear string at a time.
