Show HN: Fretboard.el – guitar fretboard visualization tool for Emacs

4 pointsby gskyeabout 2 months ago
Hi Hacker News!<p>My name is Skye. Long time listener, first time caller.<p>Have you ever sat down to get ready for a gig, looked at your guitar and thought to yourself: &quot;Why am I not using the worlds most extensible text editor to work on my guitar fretboard fluency?&quot;<p>Well I have just the thing: fretboard.el, the guitar fretboard visualization tool for Emacs!<p>fretboard.el lets you see the notes of the guitar in pure text. Immediately upon evaluation of the function `(fretboard)`, you&#x27;ll be able to recognize where the root note is positioned in relation to the key or chord shape.<p>With just a keystroke, you can cycle through scale signatures, chord tonalities and guitar tunings!<p>fretboard.el is free and open-source. Documentation can be found on the repo at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;skyefreeman&#x2F;fretboard.el" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;skyefreeman&#x2F;fretboard.el</a>.<p>Happy practicing!
