Name That Note

Name That Note (Guitar)

Guitar note identification trains you to name any fretboard position instantly, including sharps or flats.

We highlight a fretboard position and you name the note. This is position → note recall. It’s a guitar note identification quiz (guess the note on guitar) built for fast rounds and a clear heatmap of slow spots.
