## Description

Scales Learn is a versatile Chrome extension designed for musicians aiming to master scales across various string instruments including Guitar, Bass, Banjo, Ukulele, and Mandolin. This interactive scale chart provides an engaging way to learn and memorize scales through three toggleable modes — full display with note names or scale degrees, outline showing positions only, and test mode to challenge your knowledge with no hints.

The tool supports both left and right-handed players and includes sound playback on note selection to enhance learning. With support for multiple string options (6 or 7 string guitar, 4-6 string bass, 4 or 5 string banjo) and custom tunings, Scales Learn adapts to your instrument and style. Additional notation options such as CDEFGAB, CDEFGAH, and Solfège ensure flexibility for all learners. This extension is perfect for musicians of all levels looking to improve their scale proficiency interactively and efficiently.
