Following my earlier posts covering an introduction to the notes on the guitar fretboard and some basic music theory, in this post I’ll provide some visualization tools to help provide some insight into the structure and layout of the notes on the guitar fretboard.

If you have a locally-hosted version of a web site for testing or development, you’ll almost certainly want to test it on a mobile device.

Recently I looked at the layout of the notes on the guitar fretboard, and described a useful notation for showing the absolute pitch of each note, Helmholtz pitch notation, shown here:

While you can get by playing chords and patterns on the guitar without knowing individual notes by name, at some point you probably want to learn the note names across the fretboard—perhaps in order to help remember what you’ve played, read and write music, and communicate with other musicians.
