Finga Studio (at finga.studio) is a web-based interactive trainer designed primarily for guitarists (with fretboard visualization) and pianists (with keyboard support). It functions as a digital lesson hub for scales, chords, modes, arpeggios, patterns, and guided practice, with built-in sound playback. The app emphasizes hands-on visualization, lesson sharing, and low-friction practice workflows. It runs in your browser (likely as a progressive web app) and works locally for many features.
Core Interactive Tools
-
Guitar Fretboard Trainer: Visual interactive fretboard that displays notes, scales, chords, modes (e.g., Phrygian minor, A Dorian), and fingering patterns in real time. Supports alternate picking, sequencing patterns (like four-note runs), and visual playback of tabs or exercises.
-
Piano Trainer / Keyboard: Dedicated piano mode with visual keyboard layout for the same scales, chords, and patterns. Great for cross-instrument learning or keyboard reference.
