The guitar hero faces angry fans holding note signs in a grimy rock club

How it plays

Fans storm in

Each angry fan holds a sign with a spot on the neck, like "A string, 5th fret". The one in front is your target.

Play the note

Name it with the note buttons, or find it on your real guitar. Your guitar fires a laser and the fan flips into a cheering superfan.

Beat the boss

Every stage ends with a boss holding a whole run of notes, a health bar and a special move. Knock him out to clear the stage.

Eight stages, eight bosses

Each stage covers more of the neck, from the open position on two strings to every note with sharps and flats.

Questions

Is Fretblast Adventure free?

The first stage, The Garage, is free for everyone, boss and all. The full game ($19.99, once) opens every stage, with all of Fretblast. A Turbo Pass opens everything for 2 weeks for $5. Or unlock stages one at a time with Shredbucks, which you earn by playing Fretblast and Adventure.

Can I play with my real guitar?

Yes. Choose My guitar and play through a microphone or an audio interface. Each sign shows a note and a string, and you play that note on that string.

Do I need to know the fretboard already?

No. The first stages use only the low E and A strings in the open position, and Soft Rock difficulty slows everything down and shows the answer sooner. Fretblast is a good warm-up before each stage.
