Hey guys I've been playing the guitar for many years but I felt like I had hit a wall and wasnt making progress. One of the things I realized was holding me back was unfamiliarity with the fretboard. I'd often find myself in situations like “Uhh…Where’s the C# here?” “Where’s the flat-3rd of this root on the 4th string?” “Sure would be nice to know the closest min7 triad shape to play over here..” I tried memorizing the fretboard the obvious way but it extreeemly boring for me. Being a developer, I decided to turn it into a game. I'd love for you guys to try it out and let me know what you…

Hello HN, I just released this music theory and ear training mobile app for guitar which I've been working on for a bit more than a year on the side. The idea was to make something for the eternally "intermediate" guitarist (myself included). There are a lot of beginner apps which rely on learning songs, toolkits which give you a bunch of stuff with no explanation but not many in-between apps to actually learn and practice more generic and somewhat advanced stuff. The app contains short lessons, recaps and most importantly challenges (visual, audio and pure theory) along with a very complete…

Hi, I'm Sergei, the creator of Guitartonic. I've been playing guitar for 17 years, but never really learned how to improvise. Most of the elaborate music theory PDFs I found online overwhelmed me, so I built a simple tool to practice basic scales and modes. It worked so well that it even inspired my roommate to pick up his guitar again. The app has been live for a few months. I had moved on to other projects and almost forgot Guitartonic existed, until the website started getting organic traffic. I noticed that people were coming to the site (somehow, 90% of the traffic is direct) and…
