FretBuilder (iOS)
Download on the App StoreUpdated 2025-11-04
Introduction
FretBuilder helps guitarists and other fretted-instrument players experiment with tunings, practice patterns, and visual references. The app keeps a library of the shapes you rely on most so you can revisit a voicing or exercise whenever inspiration strikes.
Core experience
- Capture alternate tunings and instantly see how familiar intervals shift across the fretboard.
- Highlight notes, degrees, or scale shapes to plan exercises that match your current practice goals.
- Store multiple instruments in one place—perfect for switching between standard six-string, baritone, or extended setups.
Why musicians use it
- Songwriters: Collect new chord shapes that sit well in alternate tunings without keeping a separate notebook.
- Improvisers: Visualize intervals before you plug in, so time with the instrument stays focused on sound and feel.
- Teachers: Share annotated diagrams with students to guide weekly practice assignments.
Getting started
- Download the latest build from the App Store.
- Choose a starting instrument or create a custom string layout.
- Add a tuning, then tag the notes or intervals you want to reference.
- Save the layout so you can revisit it during your next session.
