About Tabula Fretboard
Tabula turns the fretboard into an instrument you can think with. Pick a scale, a tuning, and a technique - Tabula generates a riff, lick, or scale run that is guaranteed in key, every note, every time. Not guessed. The engine enforces it. - 13 scales: major, the modes, harmonic and melodic minor, pentatonics, blues, phrygian dominant - 14 tunings: standard, drop, and open, across 6-, 7-, and 8-string - 16 techniques: ascending and descending runs, sweep, legato, tapping, arpeggios, string-skipping, sequences, economy picking, and more - Up to 7 neck positions for restating the exercise up the neck - An interactive fretboard with note, fret, and scale-degree labels - A backing band: hear the chords that fit your riff on 12 voices (piano, strings, organ, and more), tap any chord to hear it, and play riff plus backing together - Practice Packs: guided lesson sequences that play right on the fretboard - starting with Gypsy Jazz. Loop any lesson, slow it down, play along with its backing, and jam the phrase in its own key - A practice Library: keep the riffs you like with a tap and sequence them into your own warm-up sets Free, from the first launch: the whole practice tool - every scale, technique, and neck position, standard and drop tunings (including Drop G#), the backing band, up to three saved warm-ups, and the free module of every Practice Pack. Tabula Pro (one purchase, forever) adds alt and open tunings (DADGAD, open G/D/E), Metric Modulation, unlimited saved warm-ups, and the full Practice Packs. Perfect for: - Metal, djent, and prog players writing in drop and 7/8-string tunings - Students and self-teachers learning how scales, modes, and arpeggios sit on the neck - Songwriters and producers beating writer's block with ideas that are always in key - Lead players building soloing vocabulary and practicing at any tempo No accounts. No guesswork. Just the right notes, anywhere on the neck.
