Frequently Asked Questions
Click any note on the interactive fretboard to hear it played, helping you build a visual and auditory map of the neck. Toggle between sharp and flat notation and enable octave display to understand note positions across the full fretboard.
The interactive guitar fretboard supports 27 tunings: standard (E A D G B E), Drop D, Open G, Half Step Down, Full Step Down, Open D, DADGAD, and more.
Yes. The fretboard can be printed directly from your browser or downloaded as a PNG image. You can choose landscape or portrait orientation before printing.
Yes. Set Labels to "Intervals (1 2 3)" and every marker shows its scale degree instead of its note name — 1 for the root, then ♭2, 2, ♭3, 3, 4, ♭5, 5, ♭6, 6, ♭7, 7 up the neck. Pick "Roman (I II III)" for Roman numerals instead. Because this fretboard has no key of its own, you also choose an Interval Root the degrees are counted from. Thinking in degrees rather than letters is what makes a shape portable — the same pattern of numbers works in every key.
Sharps and flats refer to the same notes using different names — for example, F# and Gb are the same pitch. The fretboard lets you toggle between sharp and flat notation so you can learn whichever system your teacher or music uses.
Every note is played back with real sampled guitar sound — not synthesized tones. You can choose between three voicings: an acoustic steel-string (a sampled Martin HD28 dreadnought), a clean electric, and a classical nylon-string guitar, all built from public-domain (CC0) recordings of real instruments.
