User reviews

Users find this Chrome extension helpful as a quick reference for guitar scales and modes, praising the variety of chord patterns and its usefulness for beginners. However, several common issues affect usability: the fretboard display is too small and vertically oriented, making it difficult to read; zooming leads to blurry images; and the guitar neck window obstructs other important information. Additionally, some users point out inaccuracies in the musical content. Improving readability, correcting errors, and fixing layout issues could greatly enhance the user experience.

Pros

Provides a useful reference for guitar scales and modes, helpful especially for beginners.
Includes a wide variety of chord patterns and scale choices.
Design is attractive and can be very handy for users needing quick references.

Cons

The guitar neck display is too small and narrow, making notes difficult to read.
Orientation of the guitar neck (vertical) is less intuitive; users prefer a horizontal layout.
Blurry image upon zooming in reduces usability.
The window displaying the guitar neck blocks information about scale choices, hindering access to details.
There are inaccuracies in the musical information, such as incorrect modes or note labeling issues.

Recent reviews

The extension displays the guitar neck vertically with the first fret at the top of the display which would be easier to navigate if positioned horizontally in the displayed. The picture is also blurry when I zoom in which I'm sure could be resolved, however this is small potatoes compared to the fact that the window displaying the guitar neck is blocks the larger window so I can't see the printed information about the different choices and variants of the scales. This is almost a very cool extension, but even the link to click to visit the webpage takes me to a error page when I click it. Ugh is very frustrating because the very cool look of the design and the great amount of choices are Utterly Useless with this web formatting. Cheers I hope you fix this because I would gladly change to five stars if I could see the information the extension is displaying without obstruction.

I agree with an earlier review. The guitar neck is so narrow and small that the notes are too difficult to see. But if you can see the notes, it would probably be pretty useful.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Scales & Modes Quick Reference does not require any sensitive permissions.
