FretboardGPS represents a breakthrough in musical creativity, powered by the world’s largest music theory dataset. Our mission is simple yet revolutionary: transform music theory from something you study into something you instantly apply.
At its core, FretboardGPS unlocks the guitar’s vast unexplored potential through an innovative combination of alternative tunings, embedded music theory, and artificial intelligence. Whether you’re looking to:
- Create original music
- Learn visually
- Learn by ear
- Master new instruments
- Improvise with confidence
- Explore new musical territories
FretboardGPS adapts your musical journey, supporting both traditional learning and creative exploration.
Imagine attending a concert where every piece is a fresh improvisation – music that’s never been heard before and may never be heard again. This isn’t just about learning existing music (though we support that too); it’s about empowering you to create something entirely new.
This pre-beta release is just the beginning. As part of the Musicianly family of products, FretboardGPS represents our first step toward democratizing musical creativity and ushering in a new era of musical exploration.
Join us in revolutionizing how music is created, learned, and experienced.
30 Songs in 30 Days
From Scott:
“In 2010 I wrote and recorded a song nearly every day through June. This playlist is from March 27, 2010 – April 29, 2010.
This was the first time I used an early version of our technology in a creative project. It made a huge difference in my ability to write songs outside of my comfort zone and experience styles and sounds I never tried before.”
Founder's Live Jam Sessions
From Scott:
“The tracks below are my live improvisations (unedited) from multiple jam sessions on October 20, 2024.
I typically start in Minor (Aeolian), skip Locrian, then play in Ionian, followed by Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, then end with playing Aeolian again. This allows me to experience the creative potential that exists in each tuning in each key.
My typical process is to capture my improvisations using a loop pedal, then improvise over what I just improvised. The results may sound familiar from one track to another (since it’s the same tuning, key and chords), but FretboardGPS makes it easy to explore beyond the basics and experience a unique approach to composition and improvisation.”
