Beta Tester Hub

You're helping shape FretMaster.

FretMaster reads your music and works out the smartest way to play it on the guitar, the right positions and fingerings, note by note. You are here to push on it and tell us what a real player thinks.

Start here

Up and running in about five minutes

1

Log in

Go to app.fretmaster.ai/login and sign in with your email and the password we sent you.

2

Add a piece

Add one of the built-in samples from Examples, or upload your own MusicXML. We add new samples most weeks.

3

Generate fingerings

Click generate, then explore the fretboard view, the playback, and the different fingering options it offers.

Don't have MusicXML?

Send us the music and we'll convert it

A PDF or a photo works

FretMaster needs MusicXML, and most sheet music isn't. If you have a piece you want to test but only have it as a PDF or a picture, send it over and we'll convert it for you.

Turnaround is within the week. We're doing these by hand during the beta, so send them as early as you can and we'll work through them.

Hit reply on any of the emails we've sent you, or write to hello@fretmaster.ai.

The ask

What we need from you

  • Use it on real music you care about, not just the samples.
  • Tell us what feels right and what feels wrong. If a fingering is off, or you would play a passage differently, say so.
  • Suggest changes right in the app when you can. Your edits show us where it's getting things wrong, which is how it gets better.
  • Be blunt. The whole point of the beta is to find what is not working yet, so the harshest feedback is the most useful kind. Do not hold back.

How feedback works

A few questions, once a week

This is the whole job. We keep it light so we actually hear from you every week.

Every Tuesday

A short email from us, and that week's questions go live in the app.

A few questions

Two or three quick ones, plus what worked and what did not.

Two minutes

Answer right in FretMaster, or just reply to the email. That is the whole ask.

The questions are now in the app

No more separate forms. Each week, a few quick questions pop up in the corner of the screen when you sign in to FretMaster. Please take two minutes to answer them. It's the most useful thing you can do for us.

Haven't filled out your About You form yet? It's the only form left, and it takes a minute. Fill it out here.

Founding tester

Your founding-tester perk

During the beta
Your account starts with 300 credits, which is about 60 generations. That should be plenty, but if you run out just ask and we'll top you up. We are not going to let credits be the reason you stop testing.
After the beta
You keep a founding-tester account for good: 500 credits every month, free, for as long as FretMaster is around. That's about 100 generations a month, plus founding pricing if you ever want more than that.

Generations are priced in credits, currently 5 credits each. That second part is the thank-you, and it doesn't expire.
