Guitar practice software built around real progress
FretRep is not a guitar learning app for beginners, and it's not a composition tool. It's a dedicated guitar practice program for players who already play — built to practice with structure, track tempo progress, and improve faster with every session.
The Science Behind FretRep
The Turtle Method
Most guitarists practice at the tempo they want to play — and wonder why progress stalls. The Turtle Method flips this. Borrowed from sports science, it works like this: overshoot your target BPM significantly, practise there until it feels controlled, then return to your real target. What felt hard before now feels easy. FretRep's guitar speed trainer is built entirely around this principle — every feature connects back to deliberate, tempo-based improvement.
PAT Studio
FretRep's core guitar speed trainer. Set your start BPM, target tempo, and increment size — then practice with full precision. PAT Studio tracks every rep and every session automatically, giving you a complete guitar practice tracker without any manual logging. Assess mode tests where you actually are, not where you think you are.
Composer
Build your own guitar exercises from scratch using full PAT control. Every exercise you create goes into your personal library — ready to queue, reuse, and refine. This is interactive guitar learning software that works around your specific weaknesses, not a generic curriculum. Save As is available on Pro.
Goals
Set concrete, measurable guitar practice goals — a specific song at a target BPM, a full playlist at a given tempo. The wizard-driven setup takes you from intention to structured practice in under a minute. Goals connect directly to your sessions, so progress is tracked automatically without extra effort.
Analytics
A full guitar practice tracker built into every session. BPM progress charts show your tempo trajectory over time. Session heatmaps show when and how consistently you practice. Velocity tracking and practice quality scores tell you whether your effort is converting into real improvement — not just hours logged.
Library
443 seed exercises in the App Library — organised, searchable, and ready to queue straight into a practice session. Build your own in My Library using Composer. Everything is structured around the same guitar practice tools, so switching between preset exercises and your own is seamless.
