  • Save your routine and start it again next time

Beats per minute

Avoid ego shredding

Set the right BPM for your warm-up, working and push sets. A tempo you can play cleanly is more useful than a number that sounds like an awkward, semi-tuned buzz. Speed isn’t a replacement for musicianship but can make it easier to accomplish.

  • Warm-up, working and push sets, with your last effort clear as day
  • Mark every set clean, scrappy or failed

Set up where you play

A laptop or iPad on a stand works best. Both hands stay on the guitar

Your phone works too

Prop it up where you can see it. Plan and check progress away from the guitar

Little and often

Fifteen or twenty minutes most days beats one long session a week

Common questions

Short answers. Anything else, email hello@frett.app.

How is this different from other guitar apps?

No songs or lessons. It’s a gym-style log for the fundamentals: routines, sets and a tempo to beat.

Isn’t this just about playing fast?

No. Footballers squat and sprint in the gym, not to win at squats, but so their legs can do whatever the match asks. FRETTLIFT is that gym for your hands. Clean picking, strong fingers and smooth changes mean you can play what you hear. Theory and songs are the match, and there’s theory in here too: scales, keys and chords in any key.

Is it free?

Yes, during the beta. No account and nothing to download.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes, in Safari or Chrome. Turn the silent switch off so you hear the click.

Where is my practice saved?

On your device, in your browser. Save a backup from Help & info to move it.
