Theory & Context

How to Use the Scale Finder

Choose a key, scale and tuning to see the notes on the fretboard. Switch between five-fret positions, follow a tab pattern and compare chord matches. Change one filter at a time to see how the same scale moves across keys or tunings.

Overview

Choose the tuning on your guitar, then select a key and scale. The fretboard shows the notes; each position button opens a smaller section and its tab.

Practice Tip

Start with the full map, then select a five-fret position to practise a smaller section. Change one filter at a time to compare how the notes move.
