I like the idea but one small UI request -- allow inverting the string layout please. I visualize from the top down (EADGBE) and it would be easier (for me) to practice in that mode.
- udit99 3y agoooohh...thats a new one. Are you left handed? Have you tried the left handed mode? Would that help? Is there anything unusual about how you play the guitar? Honestly, on first thought I'll keep this one on the backburner until more people ask for it
- jessmartin 3y agoSame request. I really struggled to use it because I’m only ever looking “down” at my fretboard with the low E at the “top”. When I tried to hold my iPhone in that orientation, it flipped on me. I had trouble mapping from your visual to my actual guitar. (I’m an intermediate player as well)
- udit99 3y agohmm..so you're requesting something slightly different from the other poster right? You're requesting portrait mode if im not mistaken. I got that request a few times as well...and I honestly tried but I cannot make it work. I might seek out pro frontend help to help me out here. If I misunderstood your request, could you explain a bit further? When you say low on top...is this what you mean? https://imgur.com/a/ctgMAuy https://imgur.com/a/ctgMAuy
- pajama_garrison 3y agoJust to add to the confusion, I would be really interested in a mode where everything is completely upside-down, including the text. Basically, my instinct was to hold my phone as if it's the neck of the guitar, and look down at it to simulate the perspective of playing guitar. If the whole game was flipped upside-down, this would work really naturally.
- udit99 3y agoI think this view fixes it. https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe I can totally add it if thats what you guys want
- udit99 3y agoDoes this view work better for you? https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe
- udit99 3y agoFYI now there's a toggle under settings for "Front View Fretboard" that may be helpful. Let me know if it works out for you.
- pstuart 3y agoNopes, I'm a righty. I'm normal in that I don't practice or play enough ;-)
- udit99 3y agoI asked a grandchild comment this...but is this what you mean? https://imgur.com/a/ctgMAuy https://imgur.com/a/ctgMAuy
- udit99 3y agoBecause if it is...I could probably do it really easily but it hurts my brain to orient myself on this fretboard and Im genuinely curious about how this makes sense to anyone (FWIW I had the same reaction with building the left-handed fretboard )
- ksherlock 3y agoWhen you're playing the guitar and look down at the neck, which string is on top?
- udit99 3y agoAhhh...I think I get it. I think you're asking for the "Guitar Teacher view" like you would see the fretboard when the guitar is in someone else's hands or just propped up sideways. I get it.So this view: https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe Right?
- udit99 3y agoIf this is the view you guys want then hell yeah, its trivial to build https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe
- pstuart 3y agoActually I envision it as having the nut on the right. But maybe I'm just weird that way ;-)
- udit99 3y agoSorry I made a mess of the thread with all my different comments. But would this be what you're talking about? https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe https://imgur.com/a/yIY13pe
- abecode 3y agoor make the neck vertical instead of horizontal. I found myself craning my neck to look at it that way.
- udit99 3y agoI ran into a lot of problems with vertical mode. Turns out just doing a CSS transform is not enough. It creates a lot of layout problems. And on the other end, doing it vertical from the ground up would be a ton of work from scratch because of the way it's written
