## FretBud Reviews in United States

### ***** "Your Guitar Accompaniment"
This is great to accompany you in your journey to master the guitar fretboard. Compliant for Bass and Ikulele and other stringed monsters. Just select your tuning and wahlah all will be revealed 😁
-- factorfisher, 2025-08-05

### **--- "Buggy"
Strings come up in reverse order when initializing. Changing anything (like the scale type) gets them proper.
-- Alnilam1, 2018-07-29

### **--- "Not quite what I expected"
Thought I could roll through the cycle of fifths via the wheel. Not crazy about blending black dots on frets either. Prefer discrete dots to large blocks for memorization of patterns. I won't use it, I regret to say.
