Master the fretboard. One note at a time.
Train yourself to find any note on the fretboard.
Fill every position on the fretboard as fast as you can.
Fret Rush limited to the first 5 frets. Perfect for beginners.
Find all instances of a note within a 4-fret window. Build positional memory.
Find every instance across the full neck as fast as possible. Build speed.
Fill the neck with 5 lives and a shot clock. Wrong taps cost a life and undo progress.

Learn the fretboard. Get faster every day.
Fret Rush helps you memorise the guitar fretboard. The app shows you a fretboard and asks you to find notes by tapping the correct frets. It's simple to pick up, and you'll see real improvement within days.
Tip for beginners: Start with FretRush 5 to learn the first 5 frets, then try Find Notes: Range to build positional memory in small sections before tackling the full neck.
A standard guitar has 6 strings, tuned (from thickest to thinnest) to E, A, D, G, B, and E. The app displays frets 0 (open string) through 12. Fret markers (the dots you see on real guitars) appear at frets 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 (double dot) to help you find your way around.
Each fret raises the pitch by one semitone. At fret 12 you reach the octave, which is the same note name as the open string, one octave higher.
Learning the fretboard is one of the most valuable things a guitarist can do. Once you know where every note lives, you can find any scale, chord, or interval anywhere on the neck without thinking about it.
The full-neck challenge. You're shown one note at a time and have to find all 78 positions across the fretboard as fast as you can. Wrong taps add a 2-second penalty. Race against yourself and watch your times drop.
Same concept as Fret Rush, but limited to the first 5 frets. A great starting point if you're new to the fretboard.
Training modes have two variants you can switch between before starting:
You're given a note name and a highlighted 4-fret window on the neck. Find every occurrence of that note within the window. Great for building positional memory in small, focused sections.
Find every instance of a named note across all 6 strings and 12 frets. Covers the full neck and builds the quick recall you need when playing for real.
In Fret Rush modes your adjusted time (actual time + 2s per wrong tap) is tracked across runs. The stats page shows your best, worst, and average times, plus which notes give you the most trouble.
In Timed sessions you're scored on how many tasks you complete and your accuracy percentage.
In Continuous mode every correct answer adds 10 points. Your streak (consecutive correct rounds without a miss) is tracked separately.
Focus on A, B, C, D, E, F, G before worrying about sharps and flats. Once you know the naturals, the sharps and flats slot in between.
Two strings up and two frets to the right lands on the same note one octave higher (strings 6→4 and 5→3). Learning this pattern lets you jump to any note quickly.
The open strings (E A D G B E) and 12th fret share the same note names. Use fret markers at 5, 7, and 9 as reference points.
Short, regular sessions beat occasional long ones. Even 5 minutes a day makes a noticeable difference within a couple of weeks.
Recommended progression: Start with FretRush 5 → Find Notes: Range → Find Notes: Speed → Fret Rush. Move on when you can clear each mode comfortably.
No. All modes are about fretboard geography. You're just asked to find named notes.
Yes. Your run history, accuracy, best times, and streak are all saved on your device. Create an account to sync across devices.
Standard tuning: E A D G B e (low to high).
Timed gives you 30 seconds to complete as many tasks as possible. Continuous has no clock, so you can take your time. You can switch between them using the toggle before starting a training mode.
