A clearer way to learn the guitar fretboard
You already know the chords. Now connect them.
Start here - Position Path
Choose a key, fret zone, strings, tuning, and direction. Position Path finds playable diatonic triads in that area and organizes them into a route you can see, hear, and practise.
Learn where the seven chords sit.Connect scale degree, chord quality, inversion, and location.
Keep the whole route in view.Focus Neck shows what to play now while Reference Neck keeps the larger path visible.
Practise movement, not memorization.Play the full route, work step-by-step, then reverse direction and test recall.
Tools that reinforce the same connected-neck approach
Each mode reinforces a different part of fretboard fluency: inversion choice, scale context, chord construction, timing, recall, hearing, or smooth voice leading.
Triad Path
Choose a diatonic degree, then compare the playable Root Low, 1st Inversion, 2nd Inversion, and High Root positions that fit your selected range. The lesson is simple: one chord is not one shape.
Progression Trainer
Loop common or custom progressions with BPM, chord length, metronome, direction, and Position Path context. Learn to make the next shape arrive on time instead of only knowing where it is.
Route Drill
Randomized route questions and weak-degree history show whether the route is actually available on demand - not just memorized as a sequence.
Ear Trainer
Train Root Note / Degree and Quality recognition so the route becomes something you can identify by sound, not only something you recognize on the screen.
Voice-Leading Trainer
Compare randomized target candidates by movement and common tones, then use Reveal Best Choice to learn why one connection is smoother than another.
Tuner and Custom Tunings
Use the Chromatic Guitar Tuner, standard-string reference tones, preset alternate tunings, or a saved custom six-string tuning so the app always matches the guitar in your hands.
Scale Map
Map the selected scale across your fret range so chord shapes, fills, and neighbouring scale tones start to feel like one note environment.
Chord Tones
Study the root, third, fifth, seventh, and available extensions across the selected range, then use Play Chord to hear the formula as one sound.
What the modes build together
Fretwise is not a pile of unrelated exercises. Position Path gives you the route; the other modes make that route more useful and more automatic.
Position Path, Triad Path, Scale Map, and Chord Tones organize the neck into understandable relationships.
Progression Trainer turns the shapes into timed chord movement.
Route Drill and Ear Trainer test whether the information is available without simply following the screen.
Voice-Leading Trainer teaches you to choose the next inversion for smaller, cleaner movement.

Manual
The version 1.0.0 manual explains what every mode does, what you should learn from it, why that skill matters, exact practice steps, licence management, troubleshooting, and support.
It is designed primarily for self-taught and intermediate guitarists who already know some chords or shapes but still feel disconnected when moving through a key, choosing inversions, or finding the next useful shape on the fretboard.
The goal is to learn how diatonic chords, inversions, scale tones, progressions, ear recognition, and voice leading connect inside real fretboard areas. Fretwise gives you a route first, then uses the trainer modes to make that route easier to hear, remember, and use.
