Guitar progress, systematized
You’re not stuck at guitar.
You’re just not measuring.
Most guitarists practice for years without knowing if they’re improving. Fretmarks gives you a structured system to track your technique, break plateaus, and prove your progress.
If you’ve been stuck at guitar… it’s not because you’re not practicing.
Most intermediate guitarists don’t plateau because of lack of effort. They plateau because they have no way to see if their practice is working.
You’ve been running the same picking exercise for months. You don't use a metronome or know your actual clean BPMs, just a rough guess. You feel like you're practicing songs a lot... but not improving or stuck in the same parts. You have no record of where you were 3 weeks ago.
The problem isn't motivation. It's lack of signal. Practice feels busy... but directionless. If you can't measure your progress, you can't improve it.
How It Works
A better way to practice.
Instead of guessing what to practice… Fretmarks turns your practice into a system.
Visible progress over time.
Clear progression levels with BPM targets. Built-in metronome. Log your achieved progress and BPM per exercise. Watch your progression curve climb over weeks and months. Your data, not vibes or feels.
This is not another guitar app.
This is not a lessons platform. Not a tab library. Not a YouTube replacement. This isn't where you learn your first chord. This is your practice system.
Why not just use YouTube?
YouTube just gives you exercises. Fretmarks tells you which one to do, if it's working, what to do next. You'll know within your first week if this actually works, because you'll see your numbers move.
Who Built This
"I got stuck over the years too. I was having fun jamming but wasn't actually improving much in terms of being able to play everything I wanted. Good enough to know what I was missing, not good enough to figure out why. So I built the tool I wish I'd had."

What people are saying.
I can now play songs I struggled with
Coming back from 2 year long break, I wanted to be able to play what I really wanted without excuses. My practice turned out to be basically repeating some solos I was struggling with, in a loop, for weeks without much progress. I gave Fretmarks a try and after ~2 months I succeeded in nailing Dream Theater's Pull Me Under and Night Terror. If you put in the effort with it, the practice does compound to songs.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend it.
What stood out to me most is how focused it made my practice. Instead of just running through songs and calling it “practice,” this actually pushed me into working on technique. After spending some time with the drills, I went back to songs I’d been struggling with and played them cleanly, which honestly surprised me.
Stop noodling.
Start improving.
Start tracking your practice
If you’ve been stuck trying to play the songs you want… This is your way out.
