Frequently asked questions

Which scales are covered?

Every mode of the major, melodic minor, harmonic minor and harmonic major scales, the pentatonic and blues scales, the diminished, whole-tone and augmented scales, and exotic scales such as Hungarian minor, double harmonic, Persian, Hirajoshi and In-sen, each on all 12 roots.

Can I print the scale charts?

Yes. Every scale page has a free printable PDF with the scale across the whole neck, its formula and steps, its place on the chromatic circle, the chords in it and its relative modes.

How do I learn a scale a few frets at a time?

Open it in the scale library and step through its five CAGED positions. Each covers four or five frets and is named after the chord shape the scale’s root chord makes there; together they cover the whole neck the scale page shows.
