So I have a 27 fret limit at fretflip.com, maybe it is time to add a few frets... :-)

There are two ways to change key on guitar:

1. Move the Hand (Slide) πŸ‘‹
2. Move the Mind (Change Shape) 🧠
Visualized below. πŸ‘‡

Haha, spot on! Phrygian Dominant (the Yngwie/Malmsteen scale) is definitely the metal king. And yes, Blues is the rule-breaker where we play minor 3rds over Major chords and call it 'style.' Once you hit Harmonic Minor modes or Blues ambiguity, the rabbit hole goes deep!

Happy Valentine's Day! ❀️

Today is also #fretflip's Birthday! πŸŽ‚

Truth be told, I made the logo a Heart+Share button because Sharing is Caring, especially in music.

So another year of labor of love (or stubbornness :-)
Thanks to everyone who shared a chart over the year.
Be excellent to each other!

Totally right for functional harmony (Bach/Mozart)! But in Rock/Jazz, we often jam on static vamps (like a 5-min Dm7 groove).

In that context, Modes are 'flavor palettes' for soloing.

β€’ Funky? Use Dorian (Nat 6).
β€’ Metal? Use Phrygian (b2).
It’s about coloring the improv, not rigid composition.

Perhaps the biggest lie in guitar theory: 'Dorian is just C Major starting on D.' πŸ€₯

Technically true. Practically useless.

Here is why you should learn Modes via Parallel Comparison (e.g. Dorian = Minor with a sharp 6).

Just shipped a new guide: Visualizing Drop D Tuning.

Most charts are static images. This one is interactive, compare any scale in Standard and Drop D and see exactly what differs.

Great for visualizing the 'shifted' pentatonic boxes.

#fretflip release update, this new version is using the image format webp instead of png for slightly better performance generating images. A chart showing the CAGED system in the key of G was created to show an example: fretflip.com/024GKKGPR #webdevelopment #guitar #posters

New feature released at fretflip.com! A new paint mode is introduced, simply hold the mouse button to continuously toggle highlighted notes, also works using a marker for color. No support for cellphones or tablets (yet) to keep expected scroll functionality. Have fun! #fretflip

If you ever get stuck writing a song this could be used as guidance. I found this list of top 10 chord progressions at Native Instruments's site blog.native-instruments.com/common-chord... and made this Chord transition frequency chart.
