Features and Benefits of the Chart

  • Any scale and chord: This single diagram allows you to play any scale, any chord from any string and with any root note, provided that you have the notes of the scale or chord in question.
  • 12 and 24 frets: The charts are available in two variations: as 12 frets and as 24 frets.
  • Color coding: Naturals and accidentals are color-coded differently to create a clear visual separation between them.
  • Flats and sharps: Choose between "naturals + flats" and "naturals + sharps"—both flavors are included as separate charts.
  • Doubled frets: Fret numbers are provided both below and above the diagram, offering additional visual cues to pinpoint your location and navigate the fretboard with even greater ease.
  • Tuning in SPN: Tuning is provided in Scientific Pitch Notation so you get to see the octaves of each pitch without the need to look up a different reference. If you're unsure what they mean or what they are for you can just ignore them.
  • Tuning Difference: As you explore alternative tunings, you will soon discover that you want to know how much they differ from the standard/factory tuning based on the number of strings your instrument has. This chart shows this difference in half-steps for each string, where negative numbers indicate that you need to tune lower than the given standard tuning, and positive numbers indicate that you need to tune higher. If you're not yet interested in this information you can just ignore it.
