# ToneSeed Fretboard Trainer

> ToneSeed Fretboard Trainer (App Store: "Guitar Fretboard - ToneSeed"; Google Play: "Fretboard Trainer - ToneSeed") is a fretboard training app for guitar, bass, ukulele and mandolin on iPhone, iPad and Android. Players learn the notes on the neck, intervals, scale shapes, chords, bends and strumming, either by tapping answers on screen or by playing them on the instrument while the microphone checks pitch and timing. Free to download; Fretboard Pro, a monthly or yearly subscription, unlocks the full neck and every trainer.

Note recognition comes first: the app drills fret positions adaptively and shows per-note accuracy and the slowest positions, and a daily practice plan follows a personal learning path from there. Every diagram, chord shape and exercise follows the active instrument preset, so a custom tuning or a 7-string guitar works everywhere. It works offline, with no account required.

## Trainers

- Notes: name the note, find the note, or play & verify on the instrument, adaptive by fret position
- Intervals: 13 intervals; name, build, hear & tap, or play & verify
- Scale trainer: play scales against a metronome in practice or graded mode, ascending, descending, in thirds, triads or four-note cells
- Bend trainer: half-step, whole-step and minor-third bends, graded on the pitch curve, not just the final note
- Strumming: 39 patterns across 8 genres and 3 levels, plus your own patterns, with microphone timing feedback
- Chord trainer: play the shape or name the chord
- Hands-free mode: spoken prompts so practice works without looking at the phone
