About this app
The Justin Guitar Fretboard Note Trainer is an app to help you learn the notes on the guitar neck (one of the most essential skills for progressing guitarists) using some awesome, fun and progressive games that you can play anywhere!
It has four training modes, Name The Note where you have to name the note shown on the neck, Find A Note where you have to find a given note on the neck in all 6 positions, Memory Quiz 1 where you have to name a note having been given it's position, and Memory Quiz 2 where you must name all the notes across a given fret (a tough one!!).
There are some "Easy" options for those just starting out to limit your range of answers.
You also have an audio option to hear the notes as you select them!
If you really need to cheat you can swipe your finger diagonally across the fretboard and all the notes will show for a second :)
I'm sure you'll find this app very helpful, all you need to add is practice time!
Best wishes, Justin

This app has been a tremendous in helping me learn the fretboard. However, I think it would be helpful if the app software developers/designers could tweak the settings so that I can focus on a segment of the fretboard. For instance if I could concentrate on the 7th to 17th frets so that I can master that section of the fretboard. I would pay more for such an app. Also try exploring the intervallic relationship between notes on the fretboard. Keep up the good work.

Essential for when you don't have a guitar on hand! I've been doing a find the note exercise on my guitar every day and is helping immensely with my fretboard knowledge. The only downside is it was hard to do without a guitar. Now I can practice waiting for the bus, standing in a queue, or on my break at work...whenever! Awesome stuff. One change I'd make for find a note game stats. Getting ALL the notes right only counts as a score of 1, but EACH wrong note is -1. Gives skewed stats.

Visually excellent and great layout, could do with some work to iron out some issues. If you get the whole fretboard correct on note finder it registers as one note rather than the number of notes found. Get one wrong and each note is counted. Could do with some pattern tips to help learn the fretboard. There are free apps which work as well but don't look as good. I don't begrudge paying for this as Justin is a legend and his free content has taught me huge amounts anyway. Could be better.

What's new
We've updated the app to use the latest Android libraries.
We've added a fretboard reference section to the app so that you can revise the notes on the fretboard.
There is also the option to be tested on Whole Notes only (no sharps or flats).
We've also fixed an issue some users were having with the settings not setting correctly, and where strings weren't displaying correctly in left handed mode.
If you have any feedback or ideas for the app then please let us know.
