Since I am bad at staying on task working from home and because I was getting sick of using a spreadsheet, I made this: https://frets.terrifi.ca to help practice scales. Features:
Works for sure in Chrome and Firefox, I dunno about Safari, and most likely not in IE.

I picked up a used Epiphone SG 400 a while back. It's in pretty decent condition, but the 8th fret on the B string has experienced some serious wear- to the point that there is a very defined groove that the string will get caught in if you try to bend. It's pretty much a dead spot on the fretboard for that matter. My question is- is it possible, or cost effective, to get a single fret replaced on this rather cheap guitar? Is it something you could DIY with a kit from Amazon?

Both between the active and inactive notes and among the different active notes.

Features: This is really helpful - thanks, dude. One idea as I move between the modes: what if you highlighted where the half-steps are on a chromatic scale? Ah, just saw that you do that with the check boxes up top. It would be helpful if there was a box or colour drawn to group the two half steps so they jump out, but I'm just trying to find ideas here. This is going into my practice routine.

My guess is using requestAnimationFrame instead of timers would fix it, but then again, I wouldn't worry about it.

Counterparts posted:So... is replacing a single fret something a guitar shop could/would do? Would it be prohibitively expensive? How deep is it exactly? You might be able to get away with a level and re-crown of all the frets for less than replacing one completely. Even if you do replace that one fret you'd still have to level and re-crown them to make sure they are all at the same height anyways. Leveling can be done with any long flat object and self adhesive sandpaper or spray glue. I use a piece of marble threshold from home depot with a piece of wood epoxied on the back as a handle. A crowning file is the only real specialty tool you'd need for this you could use a triangle file but that takes skill. The ones stew-mac sells are idiot proof. I've had the one I use for years and it still cuts perfectly fine.

Counterparts posted:So... is replacing a single fret something a guitar shop could/would do? Would it be prohibitively expensive? like thumposaurus said even if you just replace the one fret, you'd still need to level and recrown the entire board, which is the most time-consuming and therefore expensive part of having a shop do it at that point you might as well just refret the whole thing anyway, whether you did it yourself or paid someone to do it the only reason i didn't suggest just leveling the board is if the divot in the fret's deep enough to catch a string, you'd likely have to remove so much material from sanding that it'd wind up almost unplayable afterward you could always just get some epoxy and convert it into a fretless guitar  Thumposaurus posted:Leveling can be done with any long flat object and self adhesive sandpaper or spray glue. I use a piece of marble threshold from home depot with a piece of wood epoxied on the back as a handle. i use a 2' level since it's y'know... level also it's pretty easy to make a notched straightedge with a regular straightedge and a dremel or a file if you don't value your time The Muppets On PCP fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Mar 31, 2020 |

The Silly Song Challenge on the guitar discord is drawing to a close; there's still one more day to go if you think you can crank out a silly song in that time! Of course silly songs are always welcome, anytime, not just on April Fool's day! Anyhow, there will be another theme announced on the 1st, and hopefully more cool tracks from our talented discord community. Here's my track: https://soundcloud.com/user-443451412/the-butt-song-silly-song-entry/s-EoVmqgqzeWy And a link to the Discord if you'd like to join us: https://discord.gg/YByt9R

Can you post the song event details on here? I'm on the Discord, but honestly, I prefer to keep my posting on SA. I feel like a Discord's role is to supplement the SA community it's tied to. Like if we want to live chat / share lessons, collaborate, etc. With web forum communities shedding members to social media left and right, I like to keep feeding this place. You'd get more people doing it if the details were here as well.

Yeah, at work I have two Slacks and emails and 83726 other things going on, and when not at work, I try not to be on the computer, so Discord is not something I personally will really ever be on. Obviously those who do use it should enjoy it and it is super cool it exists! But it would also be cool to hear about things like that in the thread too if there is something not real-time we Luddites could join in on.

The challenges were originally just something I decided to do as an activity for the guitar discord so while I've mentioned it a couple times itt I didn't want to be too spammy about it. But thread-based posters are absolutely welcome to join in on them, I'll write up a more detailed post for the upcoming one and try to post reminders periodically!

I think I'm going to fill it in with some epoxy just to prevent to much further damage. The cosmetic aspect doesn't bother me too bad, I just don't want any ugly buzzing or whatever else this could cause.

it's not gonna cause any noise, and honestly my acoustic has that same kind of top, it's so fragile and the first ding I got was all, awww hell and then I didn't mind anymore! I'm not bashing it around but I also don't mind that, drumming my nails on it and leaving tiny dents

I keep poking at it (just now tweaked the print stylesheet, and added a "memory" last night so you can copy the URL to a specific tuning/scale). Also out of extreme boredom you can change the fret markers and scale interval notation. Currently debating whether to have it make noises when you click the notes.
