See the whole neck.
Finally understand it.

Fret Club is a complete fretboard laboratory — build strumming and fingerpicking parts over your chord changes, see the scale underneath with the chord tones lit up, and drill it until your hands know it. This is the toolkit I build lessons around.

01 / See the fretboard

Every scale, every shape — lit up where you actually play it.

Stop memorising boxes in isolation. Watch a scale flow across all 24 frets, then collapse it into CAGED shapes or three-note-per-string runs the moment you need them.

Scale Explorer

The whole neck, in one glance.

Pick a key and a scale and the entire fretboard fills in. Toggle intervals, switch between note names and degrees, dim the non-chord tones for context, and re-orient the neck however you read it best.

CAGED · 3NPS

Shapes that finally connect.

See how the five CAGED shapes interlock up the neck, or switch to three-note-per-string patterns for fluid legato runs. The same scale, two ways of owning it — side by side.

02 / Understand the theory

The why behind every note you play.

This is where the theory-curious get hooked. Modes, intervals, keys and the relationships between chords — laid out visually until they just click.

Diatonic Chords · Keys & Modes

Watch keys turn into chords.

Break any key into its seven diatonic chords as interval bars — Nashville numbers and all — then see how keys relate, borrow and modulate. Borrowed chords and modal colour stop being mysteries.

Modes · Intervals · Rosetta Stone

Seven modes, one moveable idea.

Flip through every mode and hear how one note changes its whole character. The Interval Explorer drills the distances by ear and eye, and the Rosetta Stone cross-references names, numbers and shapes so nothing gets lost in translation.

03 / Practice with purpose

Knowing it isn't playing it. The trainers close the gap.

Speed, endurance, heavy riffing and structured routines — each gets a metronome, targets and a clean feedback loop. Your strumming and fingerpicking drills live right inside the Arranger; these sharpen everything around them.

Heavy

Metal Riff Builder

Stack palm-muted riffs and gallops, then loop them at a tempo that actually challenges you.

Speed

Notes / Second

Measure your real picking speed and watch the number climb week over week.

Reference

Pattern Browser

A library of licks, sequences and scale patterns to pull from when a session needs fresh material.

Ear

Drone

Hold a tonal centre and train your ear to hear each note's pull against the root.

Routines

Practice Trainer

Build custom drills with tempo ramps and targets, then run them as a focused session — the structure I'd hand you in person, built into the app.

Your plan

My Routines

Every drill we design saved to your own library and sequenced into a session you can run start-to-finish, updating as you level up.

04 / Create

Build the part — not just the theory.

This is where it all comes together. The Arranger is the heart of Fret Club: write the parts you'll actually play, over real chord changes, with the fretboard showing you exactly why they work.

Flagship

The Arranger

Lay out your chord changes, then build a strumming pattern or fingerpicking pattern to play over them. The neck sits right underneath — see the scale across the changes and watch the chord tones light up as each chord lands. Your strum and pick trainers are built in, so you can drill the part the moment you've written it.

Jam Track

Spin up something to play over.

Drop in a chord progression and Fret Club turns it into a backing track in seconds — set the feel and tempo, hit play, and improvise. The fastest way to put everything you've learned to work over real music.
