04 · Scales & improvisation
Interactive guitar scale tools
Connect the pattern to the progression.
Explore the notes around your chords, then practice them in time. Move between scale shapes and the chords in a key to build a clearer picture of how rhythm and lead fit together.
- Explore modes, pentatonic and blues scales, and CAGED scale shapes.
- Switch between intervals, note names, and fingerings; highlight chord tones on the fretboard.
- Follow note-by-note playback, adjust BPM, repeat a shape, or practice through the positions.
05 · Timing & control
Full-featured metronome
Build a stronger sense of time.
Set up the pulse your practice needs, from a slow chord-change drill to syncopated picking. Visual beat feedback helps you stay oriented while you listen and play.
- Dial in BPM or tap your tempo. Choose time signatures, beat accents, subdivisions, and swing.
- Use count-ins and a practice timer; gradually raise or lower BPM with the tempo trainer.
- Test your internal pulse with silent-bar training, choose a click sound, and save your favorite setups.
Metronome controls and playback require StrumForge Pro.
