FretLabs

Re: on Friday June 20, 2025 @08:11PM (#44333331)
Hey HN, I just launched FretLabs - a web application that allows you to practice guitar scales alongside your favorite songs. It started as a personal project to give a little structure to my freestyle sessions/scale practice routine and has since evolved considerably. If you're familiar with Chordify, it's like that but for scales.

Features: - 10,000+ song catalog (growing daily), or upload your own MP3s - Automatic key signature and song section boundary detection - Dynamic 3d fretboard with customizable scale options/controls - Left-handed mode, support for 4, 6, and 7 string guitars

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or answer any questions!

Very cool!

About to go live with a similar tool but it renders a dynamic fretboard while listening to songs:
