Jolly good show sir!

Been obsessing about modes for a while and working hard at ear training. This fills in a ton of gaps. Thank you for the tool and also taking the time to add contextual tips

'Inverted intervals add up to 9 and are the opposite of what they were' (paraphrasing)

This is cool but seriously guys do yourself a favor and learn one octave. Just one. Major or minor, pentatonic or diatonic it doesn't matter. Start with what you use most. Country: Major Diatonic. Everything else: Minor Pentatonic.

Memorize ONE OCTAVE using scale degrees. Then practice moving that around the guitar. Notice what the "Line-O-Confusion" does to the scale. That's the G-B string tuning.

Once you have the first octave you can tackle the second.

As for fretboard knowledge? Pick one fret per week to quiz yourself on. Just keep cycling through he frets. If that doesn't make you want to stab your eyes you can add reviewing all the root notes in the song you're practicing currently. Reviewing is the word. Not finding. Finding is useless outside the fact that it allows you to begin reviewing.

Source: Guitar teacher for 20 years. I've witnessed the difference between the one octave approach and the "fretboard map" approach first hand with hundreds, maybe thousands, of students.

I'm currently editing a Top Gun Theme lesson to illustrate this point. The theme is easy. The point of the lesson is to understand scales and the fretboard better. If anyone is curious that should be up on my channel in about a week. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTMlZtDH0kP1ozHv9DJnPsg

Then do the diatonic series in one position.

I teach Jazz, and you'd be surprised just how many guitarists freak out when you ask them to play F and C in the same position. You can't keep jumping all over the fretboard to play a 1-5 progression. :)

as in the anthem or the danger zone one? or the new film intro medley?

can't confuse it if you're playing a guitar that has no upper end B/E string lol

i like how when you select one note and it shows you all the positions, it's just the same shape repeating.

Anyone else not getting any sound?

Because it's muted! I'll see myself out...

I've been trying to figure out why it does that for some people and I implemented a change that will hopefully fix that issue.

If you're able to test it out now and let me know if it's working for you now, that would help me out a lot in knowing if my fix is actually working well.

For me it was having my ringer switch “off” and now it works perfectly

Glad to hear it's working now! 😄

I think you could improve it if the open strings that are part of a scale were also highlighted

Especially for like the E minor / G major pentatonic scale.

Can you make it faster to respond or shorten the notes? I’m trying to play master of puppets on it.

This is awesome, thank you!

Any chance of the notes being able to rotate for landscape viewing, similar to how you might hold a guitar?

Fretastic (https://fretastic.com/guitar) is probably the best tool to learn and visualize any scale on the guitar neck. You can change tuning, add strings for extended range guitars, select scale fingering system (3 notes per string vs caged), change notes to degree or intervals, etc.
