Show HN: Interactive guitar scales diagrams

Very nice! Love the large collection of scales you have (750!) Do you have them all hardcoded or does the site generate them from base principles / interval patterns?

For those that may want a more random experience while practicing, I made asciitabs.com a few months ago. Not as polished or full-featured as machak's site but would likely appeal to the same audience

R is the Root note of the scale while the numbers are notes in the full scale. A pentatonic is a regular major/minor scale with 2 notes removed. The blues scales are the pentatonic with one note added. The colors are simply a way to highlight a geometric pattern - learn to play the patterns (and bounce around within them) and how they chain together to form various scales over the whole neck. Explaining some of these things is more of a theory lesson than something you can just add a few labels, and the colors for the patterns don't have actual names at all AFAIK.

I agree this could be expanded on in some ways.

Edit - wait, the colors are not just patterns, there are common chord forms that fit over them as well.

As someone who stopped trying to learn guitar around middle school, I'm totally lost. Must make more sense if you're well practiced, I suppose.

Nice work. I'm really impressed. I think with addition of an audio lib, it'll be perfect.

This is fantastic. I am eternally lazy about mapping out scales. This makes my guitar life easier. Great job!
