I'm a self-taught moderate guitar player and I feel like this is really cool, but I don't understand any of it. Can someone explain how to read this, and what to do?

#42I think I'm missing the Phrygian scale could we add it?
Great stuff btw.

#43Very cool. It would be nice if I could pick a list of my chords and switch between them with single mouse or keyboard click.

+1 for text explanations. I have a decent internalized understanding of western music theory and it's application on guitar but it seems like it would be a pain to try and decode the meaning of all of the colors, polygons and icons. Even if I did spend significant time on that, I fear I'd still be left wondering if I was missing some of the insights you might be trying to convey. For the time being, it might be usefu…
Thanks for the feedback. I'll add help files and explain scaler/pentanizer differences. Scaler is "traditional" way of learning scales, but I think pentanizer makes more sense...it just needs to be explained bit more. My main focus right now is to introduce print possibilities. I am just bit tight on time right now.
Could you say a little more? I think I understand the "scaler" and it's how I learned the scales and how I practice, but I'm curious what the pentanizer is suggesting to do. Picking a root and an interval and finding it all over the fretboard?

#45I would love a left handed one. It's very difficult for me to use otherwise.

#46It's beautiful but as a fairly experienced musician, I think it's a bit information dense with all the symbols and letters. The aesthetics are great but I'd love maybe some slimmed down information.

#47What am I looking at?

Take this backing track[0] and try using the A pentatonic minor scale or A blues scale from this website and practice soloing using the marked notes. Try staying "in the box" which are the highlighted areas where you don't have to move your hand a lot to play all the notes of the scale.
Here's an example of someone mostly staying "in the box[1]." Is that even the right term?

There is a youtube link video link included which explains the concept.

I'll add more scales in the future, for time being you could check https://grunfy.com/modenizer.html
It has different coloring, but you can use 1-5 shapes to "dissect" it
