Description

Sight-reading skills open the door to reading written music and familiarizing yourself with various music styles. Sight-reading is not a daunting task, and with sufficient practice, anyone can develop this valuable skill.
Our app is designed to help you quickly identify notes across every part of the fretboard, with a special focus on positional playing.
By enhancing your sight-reading abilities, you'll find it easier to focus on other musical aspects like harmony and rhythm.
Features:
PRACTICE & TEST MODE
- Four different modes of use:
1. Locate notes on the fretboard based on the notes in staff.
2. Locate notes on the fretboard based on note name and pitch.
3. Find the names of notes on the staff (without the fretboard)
4. Identify the names of notes presented on the fretboard.
- Automatic detection of problematic notes.

KEY SIGNATURES & SCALES
- Key signature support, from 1 to 6 sharps or 1 to 6 flats.

- Automatic selection of the enharmonic notes for each scale to prevent double sharps or double flats in the key signature.

- Scales include major, minor, melodic minor, harmonic minor, blues, pentatonic, and all modal scales.

FRETS, STRINGS & NOTE SELECTION
- Support for 4, 5 and 6 string bass guitars.
- Frets are grouped to limit the number of notes to practice and test.
- Predefined fret groups, e.g., 0-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12, 0-12, 13-17, etc.
- You can define custom fret groups.
- The highlighted fret group is displayed on the fretboard.
- Your sight-reading progress is tracked per fret group.

- The longest streak record per fret group measures your sight-reading accuracy.
- You can select specific strings for the highlighted area.

- Test notes can be limited to naturals or notes from a selected scale.

READ AHEAD
- Reading ahead is a crucial skill for effective sight-reading.
- You can adjust the number of notes to read ahead.

OTHER
- Several alternate tunings are available for 4, 5, and 6-string bass guitars.

Outstanding tool

onicater on

United Kingdom

I’ve played guitar and bass for years, I’m currently dedicated to bass and trying to fill in the blanks in my knowledge. This is worth every penny, one off payment for practice anywhere. Thank you so much for building this amazing tool!

Underrated gem of an app

Roddolodd on

United Kingdom

I’m surprised this app doesn’t have more reviews and ratings. For £1.99 (no subscription), I have just learned to read the bass clef in C major without making any mistakes, in less than an hour. That alone is worth the money for something I have always been struggling to learn. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn with other app features and settings. The app may look basic, but it gets the job done!

Great bass learning tool

This seems to be a very well crafted bass training tool. Brilliantly created with loads of options. Initially I played it on silent just to identify the note names while watching tv It kept getting wrong answers. I eventually realised that although I identified the right note it was the wrong octave so I got it wrong. Won’t play with sound off in future.

Perfect

This is unique and deep. Want to improve your ability to read ahead in the bass clef? This app has it covered. And that’s just one aspect of this really useful app. And great dev support by the way. Highly recommended. (and none of that subscription nonsense either...great value, no adverts, buy it)

Got me going

WizzWelsh on

This is a great App for beginners who need to come up to speed in order to start playing in a band. I learnt the bottom part of the fret board first and this allowed me to play root notes until I developed walking bass lines on my own. Thank you to the creators. The best nonsense BASS fret board learning app out there. A suggestion might be to add training for walking bass lines.

It does so much !

Love this App! Interesting previous comments . It does seem that the app can already do the things that are posted - it just takes time to get to know the app ! You can test yourself in any key and specifically chose the key Ab for example between the frets 2 -6 or every other combination you might desire brilliant if you want to learn a jazz run or a specific key.You can enter expert mode and record your high score on a series of tests that will take hours if not days to complete. This is a great learning tool. One small request for us double bassists would be to add an optional double bass background image at around fret 8 which is where the body of most double basses joins the fingerboard. Good if you can slide the fretboard around to the exact position of the junction. We use this junction as a key nav point as we don't have frets and mentally organise notes before the body join and after. Just a request though to enhance a great app! All in all, Well done - good job, well thought out , fun to use well worth the money. All I would say is take the time to people downloading this app is to read the notes to see just how versatile this app really is enforce commenting! .... for example you can select to test yourself and play the notes on any combination of strings , you can test specific notes of a variety of specific modal scales in any key between any frets. You can test the names of notes and the musical intonation. Does what it is intended to do and makes learning the notes on your instrument a fun challenge - its actually a game where you can't help but learn your craft on the bass and works for all bass players.

Great

As another reviewer, I'd love hear the sound when I play the test note too, but I think this is a brilliant app. Any chance of putting in the option of some standard licks and patterns? Or of restricting test notes to a single key? It slightly does my head in following sharps with flats in such random configurations, as this would never actually happen in printed music. Most good sight readers get themselves into a sharps or flats groove, or better yet into the pattern of the key, and read from there. But this is just a request: as it stands, massive thanks and great value for money!

Amazing

Really good little app... Crack it out in your spare time and learn away! Would have happily payed twice as much for it

Great App!!

Jake McL on

Hi, I just wanted to say that I've been very impressed by this App so far. I feel I'm learning quite a lot from it already. It's very well laid out and has many features. I think the fact the note is actually played during the test will also be a great help to improve my ears musically. It's become quite addictive already. The only thing I wish it had was a high score display. I've currently got it set to recount from 0 everytime I hit a wrong note. I think a highscore display as I'm being tested will be great to show how I'm progressing. Is that something that could be added in a future update?
