Interactive Guitar Fretboard

Find the scale you're looking for by changing the root note, scale mode, and tuning. Our interactive fretboard tool helps you master guitar scales and chords with visual learning aids including scale steps, note positions, and degree markers.

How to use this guitar scale finder: Select your root note (C, D, E, F, G, A, or B with sharps and flats), choose from dozens of scale modes including Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian, then pick your tuning. Toggle between viewing notes and degrees to understand scale theory, or switch to chord mode to explore chord voicings across the fretboard.

Use the Circle of Fifths below the fretboard to visualize key relationships and find relative major and minor scales. The interactive piano roll shows you the same notes on a keyboard, helping you connect guitar fretboard patterns to piano theory. Scale steps display the interval pattern (whole steps and half steps) that define each mode, making it easy to transpose scales to any key.

Whether you're learning pentatonic scales, exploring jazz modes, or studying advanced chord voicings, this tool provides everything you need to understand guitar scale patterns, chord construction, and music theory fundamentals.
