Guitar Fretboard Scale Visualisation Tool - Updated 30/4

That is awesome.

I did this non-interactive chart awhile back. Slightly different conceptual approach. More of an "all you need to know presented on one page." And, of course, not interactive. (Can be useful though when you don't want to sit in front of a computer while playing guitar. But obviously you need to print it out in color.)

I like what you've done there.

I've got a half baked idea for a system of fretboard overlays to highlight different playing positions and also chord fingerings.

Which raises an interesting question. Is there an algorithm that can work out if a certain chord voicing is physically playable?

Hey there,

Good stuff

I've been studying on line with Jazz guitarist Jimmy Bruno who uses the '5 shapes' method and I came on leaps and bounds.

I can't imagine going back to learning scales depending on what chord you're playing type of approach.

Your software would be seriously cool for the 5 shapes.

Maybe give him a shout on JimmyBruno.com he's very approachable and a seriously f*cking cool guitar player

Thanks. It's probably confusing when you just see the complete chart with no explanation. But a teacher could slowly build up that chart at each lesson, and then it'd make a lot of sense.

One concept that I think is key to really unlocking this system and improvising well (and is not pointed out on the chart) is that anywhere you are playing a minor pattern (for example, if you're playing pattern "6" beginning on the 5th fret then you're in A minor), if you switch to the next pattern up the neck but do not shift your hand up the neck, then you are now in the parallel major key (so in this example, you switch to playing pattern "1" but still beginning on the 5th fret then you're now in A major). Being able to go back and forth between major and minor in the same parallel key at the same position on the neck (e.g., going back and forth between A minor and A major, staying at the fifth fret) is critical to making this all click. And it's pretty easy if you get used to the fact that you just need to use the next pattern up the neck (but at the same spot!).

I've just posted an updated version which has many more new scale types and some chords/arpeggios. You might need to refresh your browser if you previously viewed the old version.

User scale editor/ tuning and scale pre-set storage / Horizontal Layout / etc will take a little longer.

Thanks to everyone who has replied with feedback and ideas.

Watch this space.....

For anyone interested in all kinds of scales and modes this is a gold mine --> http://docs.solfege.org:81/3.19/C/scales/

New version - now draws the chosen scale on the musical stave in the centre of the key chooser, using traditional notation.
