If you're ok with it, I'll fix it in a few days and ping you here again.

yeah, thats a good point. Like having 1 bike with training wheels and others without. That could work

np

Try the practice mode. No timer no stress!

Does this view work better for you? https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe

If this is the view you guys want then hell yeah, its trivial to build https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe

Ahhh...I think I get it. I think you're asking for the "Guitar Teacher view" like you would see the fretboard when the guitar is in someone else's hands or just propped up sideways. I get it.So this view:

Right?

My daddy used to say, there's as many ways of learning guitar technique as there's lost picks in the universe :) Ok I made that up, but the point stands. At the end of the day, whatever works for you is the best solution

Having said that, I've spent the last few years reading up on memory retention, SRS and using Anki a lot for languages and what I've found is that Recall is extremely important for increasing the strength of the memory. With stickers and ribbons, the notes are right there for you. Like training wheels. Never challenging you to recall. Keeping you coming back for more of that ribbon help. ..you get the idea.

YOU AND ME BOTH BUDDY!!!! And for the love of god (heh!) dont forget Joe Satriani...I grew up listening to The Extremist on repeat for months

Because if it is...I could probably do it really easily but it hurts my brain to orient myself on this fretboard and Im genuinely curious about how this makes sense to anyone

(FWIW I had the same reaction with building the left-handed fretboard )

I asked a grandchild comment this...but is this what you mean? https://imgur.com/a/ctgMAuy

hmm..so you're requesting something slightly different from the other poster right? You're requesting portrait mode if im not mistaken.

I got that request a few times as well...and I honestly tried but I cannot make it work. I might seek out pro frontend help to help me out here.

If I misunderstood your request, could you explain a bit further? When you say low on top...is this what you mean? https://imgur.com/a/ctgMAuy

alternate tunings have been requested quite a bit and honestly its not super hard to build for this module but things get really wonky in the further levels. I really want to pareto-prioritize and right now alternate tunings are not making the cut.

To anyone else reading this, if alternate tunings are your thing, please leave a +1 to the parent comment or write to me on Twitter/reddit/discord, that ways I can gauge interest more accurately

oh man....its somehow triggering the mobile device check to enforce landscape mode. Easiest fix is to drag the bottom edge up to make it more "landscapey" and it'll go away. I really should check for the desktop before I enforce the tilt device thing

TBH, Im so high off of building something that finally gets some traction instead of sinking into oblivion that I'm freely making grand plans of building elaborate features instead of aggressively limiting scope like I really should. Oh well...this will fade anyways, let me have my dream roadmap for now.

Glad you found it!! Noted. Once I have more time, I might build a bit of a new user walkthrough. Keep me posted it if you have more feedback Thanks

Thank you! I have other instruments on my roadmap for sure....i just want to build out the full guitar version first before venturing out to other instruments.

I loooove Tenuto, its awesome. I honestly never used it for guitar stuff, more like ear training. I'll check it out, thanks

you're totally right. I'm an intermediate player myself so I kindof built it with an intermediate bias. Did you try the practice mode? There's no timer there and you can filter it by strings and frets so you can focus on a small area of the fretboard at a time.

But yeah, as I mentioned in a couple other comments here, I plan to build a gradual learning module using spaced repetition that starts with a few notes at a time. Does that sound better?

your video of the game looks pretty awesome. I assume you're a game dev. Not being one myself, it looks very....elaborate and hard to build for someone with my skills.

Regarding your feedback...yeah, I've gotten that feedback a lot. Thats part of the reason why I built the practice mode. Did you get a chance to try it? It doesnt have the timer and you can take your time counting notes to get better. And my favorite part: You can pick and choose what frets and strings you want to focus on.

But your point still stands: There is a need for a gentler introduction and I do have that in mind: A Duolingo style Spaced repetition approach that starts off with 5-7 notes a day and builds up from there. Once you're done with the course, you can play the game to reinforce and test the concepts. What do you think?

Absolutely, you're totally right about the learning mode. I've got that request a lot since I released it and I plan to build that in once I build some more modules: A spaced-repetition based module that teaches you the notes a few at a time. Kindof like Duolingo

The reason why I didnt make it is because I'm an intermediate player myself and I guess right now it resonates with intermediate players who mostly kindof know the notes but have a lot of blind spots. While the feature you requested is more targeted towards newer guitar players

Re: Visual vs feel, if by feel you mean sensory input like touch and how the guitar strings feel? yeah, I totally agree. Except I cant build software to replicate that so this is about as good as it gets . That said, I still find it very valuable for making visual connections for notes and intervals

ooohh...thats a new one. Are you left handed? Have you tried the left handed mode? Would that help? Is there anything unusual about how you play the guitar?

Honestly, on first thought I'll keep this one on the backburner until more people ask for it

im sorry to hear that. I want to make sure this works for you. Could you give me a couple more details? 1. Desktop or Mobile? 2. Whats the exact behavior? Is there a button that doesnt respond? Would a screenshot help clarify? 3. If Desktop, Can you screenshot the web inspector console?

I know I'm asking for a lot but I'd really appreciate it Thank you

Im kicking myself for not fixing it before I released (I kept delaying this release for weeks on some pretext or the other and had to force myself to release it today)

This is great. Thanks for sharing.I do have stuff in mind thats very similar but a bit of a different form factor. I havent tried your app on mobile so I dont know about the two step thing but I'm excited to take a look

Thank you for appreciating the app, its sweeter coming from someone who's built something similar. Also, btw, dont forget to sign up for updates to stay up to date on when new modules are released. Cheers

Thats a great idea about the voicings...I might build that as a separate module

I think you should publish it if you still have the code...make it open source on Github and see if other people are interested in taking the idea forward

Hi there Can you send me a screenshot and tell me what iPhone it is?

I see fretboard orientation as relying on multiple techniques: 1. Notes 2. Intervals 3. Scale patterns

Notes are not the only way to orient but they're a start. I'm planning on adding more modules about intervals pretty soon

the ui control is wonky...colored means unselected, black means selected (I had it the other way round and people complained so I flipped it). Make sure you have the right selections if you're not seeing it work right. I will fix it soon and make a more intuitive interface Let me know if if fixes your problem Thanks

Love the app. Would love to use it on my iphone as a PWA but it seems to have a couple issues running on mobile:

1. The Example Weather Provider notification keeps popping up every time I refresh. It doesnt remember that I already closed it the last time

2. For some reason, on my phone it thinks that today is Saturday (today is Monday where I am) and its giving me the upcoming weeks weather starting with Sunday.

FYI: The signup is dead simple and requires no email confirmation. But if you're still resistant to signing up to try it out, feel free to use the creds: test@email.com/password and don't forget to go through the Walkthrough Tour from the main menu.
