I play the banjo, which is way less popular and has a specific quirk : you don't havea single tuning but dozens ! You swap then and retune the instrument according to the current song/type of music. That's additionnal burden on memory, so the help of a tool can be tremendous.
Most sites/app (this on included) let you change the tuning but I'd love to find one that can handle a list of presets, so I don't have to wrestle the GUI to change each string when I want to play another song.
Any recommendations ?
- ChordFunc 5y agoFretastic supports saving presets. It doessent currently support 5-string banjo though. Would be open to adding it.
- RickJWagner 5y agoPlease do! Another banjo player here. We're few, but enthusiastic.
- _glass 5y agoA long time ago I wrote a small Processing tool for guitar, but adjusted it already for ukulele, and saz/bouzouki. Maybe that's useful for you. https://github.com/rglass/guitar/blob/master/guitar.pde https://github.com/rglass/guitar/blob/master/guitar.pde
- uhoh-itsmaciek 5y agoCheck out https://fretboard.cool https://fretboard.cool and tell me what tunings to add! Or submit a PR [1].

(there's a quirk noted in the TODO there so you need to shift the fifth string down a fourth when specifying the tuning).
