FretMap is free to all and provides an interactive fretboard to visualise 11,000+ guitar patterns. There's also a structured Learning section: https://fretmap.app/learning to introduce new players to the guitar. For people who move between devices, i.e. mobile phone, tablet, desktop, TV, there is an *optional* paid subscription which provides access to syncing favourite preferences, patterns and learning progress to the cloud. To be clear, the *subscription is optional* and non-subscribers can view the same content, they just wouldn't be able to sync their personal saved data between devices.

Congrats Stephen! FretMap seems like a really neat tool, and it's awesome that you're offering it for free with a paid option. Curious, what kind of database access does the subscription include? Cheers!

@isabellarosewilson hi Isabella, thanks for the comment. Currently the subscription will allow users to save their preferences, favourite patterns, song and their learning progress. In the future I'm hoping to add new features like song creation which can also be saved and shared.

Free, you say, but there's always a catch isn't there Stephen, I've seen too many "free" tools turn into subscription traps, if this interactive fretboard really delivers on its promises, why not just be upfront and charge for it from the start, also curious what you mean by database access?

@brandmaven20 hi Matteo, I'm not sure what your concern is here, it's a website with free content. The site explains that if people want to sync their personal preferences, chords, scales, songs etc. to the cloud, they can through an optional subscription.

As a guitar player, love to see products being made in this realm. Kudos for making this in your free time. Looks amazing - congrats on the launch @ghosthorses !

Cool tool Stephen, but 11,000+ patterns seems overwhelming especially for beginners, any plans to add a simpler mode, and what kind of extra stuff would the paid option give me access to?

@datafunmaker Hi Matt, there's a Learning section here: https://fretmap.app/learning which introduces people to the basics of the guitar, then there's a Songs section here: https://fretmap.app/songs which has a few beginner songs to get people started. The website is all free, but if people subscribe, they can save their preferences, favourite patterns / positions and learning progression. In the future I'd like to add more features, like allowing people to create melodies or song progressions and save them to the cloud.

Congrats Stephen, this tool seems promising, but why another browser-based option when so many apps are out there, what makes it stand out, maybe consider adding offline capabilities or integrating with DAWs, curious what kind of database the subscription gives access to, cheers

@eventizceo Thanks for the comment, the reason for it being a web app, rather than a native app or desktop app is convenience - both for development and users. Native apps are mostly tied to hardware / OS and are usually more complicated to build and provide updates for. As for DAW integration, that's an interesting idea! But essentially FretMap should be considered more of a reference for learning guitar patterns.

Found this tool through an ad, it's really useful for learning new patterns and mastering the fretboard, kudos to you, Stephen, it's impressive that you offer it for free as well, have you thought about adding some video lessons or maybe a community forum for users to share tips and tricks
