I’ve been building two things that kinda go hand-in-hand to scratch a few personal itches. [1] is an interactive fretboard tool for guitarists. I wasn’t quite happy with the way existing tools approached visualization, so I made my own. Too many felt littered with ads or just didn’t work the way I was hoping for.

It goes beyond just plotting notes there are options to show scales using intervals, roots, note names, etc., plus a chord mode that highlights triads, voicings, and inversions. I’ve found it useful for routine practice start the built-in metronome, pick a voicing or scale pattern, and run through it in time.

There are also pages covering theory topics like modes and progressions, but the fretboard’s the main draw. It’s something I built for myself and figured others might get some use out of too. I plan to keep adding to it as I think of more things I want to reference probably adding support for additional strings or tunings next?

The other solves a very specific problem (mostly out of laziness) I do most of my playing using the standalone Neural DSP application on Windows, but I don’t really want to do any mixing in it. So I built a dead simple recording application [2] that doesn’t require firing up a DAW, but still offers a decent UX. It lets me quickly capture riffs and ideas, and later I can just send them to my Mac for mixing if anything seems promising. Haven’t shipped it yet, but I’ve been using it daily and having some friends try it out.

That fretboard is amazing! Thanks for working on it and sharing.
