FretFinder was developed by Sean over the course of a few years while learning software development. He did it solely for the love of guitar. He works full-time, and builds FretFinder on the side. Please reach out to fretfinderhelp@gmail.com with any questions, bug reports, or feature requests! He is happy to hear whatever you have to say, and will probably talk your ear off if you love jazz, math, or chess.

Ratings and Reviews
The perfect app for anyone serious about guitar!
I recently started taking lessons on music theory and how it applies to guitar and this app has been an invaluable resource! While working on alternative voicings of chords in the jazz standard “Autumn Leaves”, it helped me see how to build a chord around where the melody lands, making it sound better while being easier to play. I’ve also used it for music theory homework, mapping the exercises to the fretboard. This has allowed me to more easily see associations that are helping me improve my technique.
All and all a great app and a must have for anyone serious about guitar!
Fantastic (at least on iPad). GET THIS APP!
The user interface is easy, smooth, and intuitive.
It’s easy to find one note (like ‘A’), or any chord triad (three notes making up a chord) across the entire fretboard.
It will show any scale (major, minor, pentatonics) scale across the fretboard. Push left or right arrows to see individual note combos.
The only two improvements I could think of…
1. Mark the root, 3rd, 4th, and 5th notes with a symbol, color, or numerals like I, ii, iii, IV, V.
That would take scales and inversions to the next level!
2. Toggle between flat (b) and sharp (#) for notes.
It’s weird seeing ‘Bb’ in the ‘A’ major triads 😱
I really like it
Super useful. My friend sent me this app because ive been learning guitar since quarantine and thought I would try it. Its been cool to mess around with some ideas now that im trying to get more creative with it
