Learn which notes correspond to the numerous positions on the fretboard of a guitar, bass, or mandolin. After a position is selected and shown at random, you can decide what note it corresponds to, then check to see if you are correct. Beginners can have the Cs and/or Gs displayed on the fretboard and can restrict the strings and frets used. An option to hear the pitches is also available.
