Fretboard Learning GUI

• 

  Main Root Window

• 

  Window for learning the guitar frets

Inspiration

I was inspired by my own learning in guitar and bass. My first full song I worked on with my father he said chord names and I could not figure out where on the fretboard they were. So when I heard the competition was music themed I knew I wanted to help people learn where the notes were more easily.

What it does

It assists people in learning where the root notes are located on the fretboards by having a simplistic and easy to understand way to learn.

Challenges we ran into

Everything followed my plan outlined in a todo list, but I did run into several errors I had never seen before, which meant I learned a lot about global variables and the order that functions needed to be called.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of the amount of git workflow I used in the project. In a talk with my brother, who coded nothing but advised me a couple times, he said that it is beyond important to learn so I am trying to use it more.

What we learned

I learned about construction loops and it is something I wish I used. Looking back at my code I wish I used one. However, I wish I used that as an easier way to create all those buttons.

What's next for Fretboard Learning GUI

Conciseness of code and maybe adding a uke option. As well as thinking over how to make it look better. If there is anything I am not happy with it is the look of the fake frets.
