How Find the Fret works
This fretboard quiz turns the usual question around. A note name appears below the board, written the way your settings say, and you tap a place on the neck that plays it. Any string and any fret inside your chosen range counts. To answer with an open string, tap that string at the nut.
After each tap, every other position for that note inside the range is ringed in green, and if you chose the wrong fret it is ringed in red with its real name. A round is twenty notes. The results show your percentage, your average time, and your three weakest notes, drawn on the board so you can see every place they live.
The note to find follows your settings. With natural notes only, every prompt is one of the seven natural notes. With all twelve, the black-key notes join in, written as the sharp or the flat you chose for each, so a round never asks for both G♯ and A♭.
More tips
Use the green markers. After each answer, notice how the positions of that note line up; with the Next button switched on you can study them for as long as you like before moving on. Over a few rounds the same patterns repeat for every note.
Narrow the range to work on one part of the neck. Frets 5 to 12 is where most players lose their way, and a few rounds there with natural notes only pays off quickly the next time you play above the fifth fret.
Frequently asked questions
Why is this harder than naming a marked note?
Naming a note only asks you to recognise one position. Finding it asks you to search the whole neck and pick a spot, which is the skill you use when you read a chord chart or improvise.
Why are some frets greyed out?
They are outside the frets you chose to practise: a range of frets, the open strings, the dotted checkpoint frets or a single string. Notes are only asked about, and only accepted, inside that area.
Does the left-handed board change the answers?
No. It mirrors the picture so the nut is on the right, as on a left-handed guitar. Every note keeps the same place relative to the nut.
