PixelFret

A pixel-art guitar learning game with real-time pitch detection. Use a real instrument to play

Audio Requirements

An audio interface is currently required to connect your instrument (guitar or bass) to your computer. PixelFret uses real-time pitch detection through your audio interface's direct input for the most accurate note recognition.

Microphone mode is coming in a future update.

Modes

Scales

Practice and learn any scale (Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Blues, Dorian, Mixolydian, Phrygian, Lydian and more coming soon) in any key and position.

Random Notes 

This mode is an effective way to help you learn the fretboard by presenting random notes that you must find on the fretboard. Has timed sessions with difficulty from Easy to Expert.
