Scale Finder
About
A bit of history
Nine years ago I decided that I really ought to learn some other scales than just the pentatonic minor in E. Perhaps somewhat mistakenly, I thought that learning more scales than everyone else would secure my place alongside the guitar legends in the rock hall of fame. In an effort to help aid this process, and being the eternal procrastinator that I am, I immediately sat down at my computer and started doing something else. However, I did eventually came up with something, a program that would display the notes for various scales in any key, as dots on an image of a guitar fingerboard. And so was born ScaleFinder the original. Feeling rather pleased, I showed it to my friends who thought it was a good idea. But in those dark days of not really knowing anything about internet marketing, ScaleFinder quickly found its way shunted onto the sidings of old backup CDs where it has lain ever since, growing older with each day and more overgrown with weeds and moss with each year that passes.
Nine years later I find myself working as a web developer and in need of a new project to while away those long winter evenings. And so ScaleFinder finds a new lease of life, this time in the form of a web application.
ScaleFinder is really just a personal project to keep me occupied so I will keep on adding new features, scales, ideas and information. But it exists for you - the public - so if there's anything you would like to see here or anything that you think could be changed or improved then just send me a message!
