StoreFRETBLAST
Learn every note on the guitar neck. Notes fall, you find them on the fretboard and blast them.
A free-to-play guitar game for beginners and players who never learned the neck. Plug in your real guitar and play the notes for real: Fretblast hears every one. No guitar with you? Tap to practice on any phone or computer.
How Fretblast works
Short rounds that build real fretboard knowledge, one string and one area of the neck at a time. New to the notes? Read the fretboard guide.
Each note drops toward the neck in its own colour, the same colour every time, so your eyes start to know it.
Play that note on your guitar (or tap its spot on the fretboard). Name it mode flips it: a spot lights up and you name the note.
Clear a string and fret zone to earn stars and unlock the next. Before long you know every note from the open strings to the 12th fret and beyond.
Everything in Fretblast
Start with one string in the open position. Finish knowing the whole neck.
35 levels, from single strings and fret zones up to the whole neck, with natural notes first and sharps and flats when you're ready.
Plug in an audio interface or use your phone's microphone. Fretblast hears the exact note, on the right string, in tune.
The same 20 notes for everyone each day. Keep your streak going and share your score.
Fretblast tracks every note you play and drills the ones that trip you up.
Find every place a note lives and learn the octave shapes that connect them across the neck.
Every note under your hand across all six strings, the way guitarists actually solo.
Short songs, each teaching one thing. Learn them a phrase at a time, then play along with the band.
Every note plays a recorded electric guitar, so the game sounds like the instrument you're learning.

Do I need a guitar to play?
It's made for your real guitar: Fretblast listens through a microphone or an audio interface and you play the real notes. No guitar with you? You can tap or click the fretboard on a phone, tablet or computer to practice.
How long does it take to learn the fretboard?
Most players learn one string in a few short sessions. A few minutes a day, working through the mastery map one string and fret zone at a time, gets you around the whole neck. Everyone learns at their own pace: how often you play matters more than how long.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Fretblast works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone held upright the neck turns vertical so every fret is easy to tap.
What tuning does Fretblast use?
Standard tuning: E A D G B E, from the low string to the high string. There is a built-in tuner for when you play your real guitar.
