About this tool
This page opens the fingering chart with E Minor pentatonic already selected — the diagram above is live, so you can inspect every position. The notes of the scale: E, G, A, B, D.
The pentatonic drops the half-step tensions of the full scale, leaving five notes that are almost impossible to play wrong — the first improvisation scale for a reason.
Switch the key, scale type or display options in the controls above — the chart redraws instantly and everything runs locally in your browser.
Example. G major on a 4-string bass in one-finger-per-fret mode draws the root, note names and scale degrees across the fretted pattern.
Limit. The diagram stops at fret 12 and position 9, and Simandl mode uses only fingers 1, 2 and 4.
