StringScales
Visualizes scales on a fretboard, builds chord progressions, and plays a live backing band that lights up the correct notes in real time.
An interactive fretboard visualization tool that helps musicians learn and practice scales on stringed instruments. It solves the problem of memorizing scale patterns and improvising over chord progressions by providing a visual, real-time guide. The tool is designed for guitarists, bassists, and other string players of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, who want to improve their fretboard knowledge and improvisation skills. It is delivered as a free, browser-based web application with no account required for basic use, and it differentiates itself by offering a live backing band that plays along with the user, lighting up the correct notes on the fretboard in real time.
