FretSurfer helps guitarists sharpen their note recognition skills using a gamelike series of timed prompts, such as "Name this note" or "Find C on string #3". Users accumulate score statistics and can increase the game's difficulty as they improve their recognition.
Pros: Straightforward interface, played notes are both seen and heard, advanced settings for alternate tunings and left-handed fretboard orientation. One of the few iPhone guitar apps on offer that emphasize education.
Cons: As a game, FretSurfer is not exactly "fun" and the graphics are a bit crude.
