I get what you're trying to do here but honestly, 11,000+ patterns is just too much, I think simpler options would be more useful, maybe start with a beginner mode that filters some of these out, also, have you thought about adding a feature to customise patterns, just a suggestion to make it more user-friendly

@tediberfounder hi Julien, did you visit the site? There's a Learning section which takes people from introducing the names of the open strings and then basic chords, and so on. As with 11,000 patterns being too much, this is a reference site rather than a cookbook - people only need to use what they'd like to. Like with any instrument, there are a lot of patterns - they don't all need to be learned. 👍

Wow, stumbled upon this from an ad, over 11,000 patterns though, isn't that too much, especially for beginners, feels like it should be more user-friendly and maybe have a simpler version for newbies"

@adiktease From the content here, this comment might be copy / pasted or be from a bot, but people can think of FretMap as a reference book - there's a lot of content, but you only need use what you'd like. For beginners, there's a Learning section https://fretmap.app/learning which is accessible directly through the main menu (the 2nd item in the menu).

Stephen, offering an interactive fretboard for free sounds cool, but with 11,000+ patterns, isn't it a bit overwhelming for beginners, also curious if the browser-based approach might have performance lags on older devices, cheers!

@brandheartjay FretMap isn't particularly performance intensive, i.e. it's not a 3D game, but with anything, newer software / newer hardware will perform better. It's a web app, so the browser people choose to use will need to support modern web features - popular browsers like Chrome, Safari, FireFox, Edge, Brave, Arc, etc. will perform fine. Also, there's a Learning section here: https://fretmap.app/learning which is aimed at people getting started with guitar. You can think of FretMap as a guitar pattern dictionary, you don't need to learn all the patterns, but the ones you're interested in are available through searching or exploring.

Offering such a tool for free is ambitious but feels like overkill with 11,000+ patterns, most players won't even use half that, a more targeted approach might be better for real learning instead of overwhelming new users

@biotechxpro In the main menu (2nd option) there's a Learning section: https://fretmap.app/learning which is aimed at people getting started with guitar.

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.

Nice try with this tool though I'm a bit skeptical about how many will actually use it beyond the free trial, 11,000+ patterns sound a bit overboard, does the paid version come with some exclusive features like better customizations or maybe even song libraries, wondering if there's a way to make this more unique, what database access do you include in the subscription by the way, could be more engaging for the user 😊

@jscoderglobant there isn't a free trial, all the content is free. The subscription is only optional for users who move between devices and can save their preferences, favourites, songs to the cloud.

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.
