Practice guitar modes in a visual, clear and musical way
DroPilot Modes helps you understand and practice modes on the guitar in a simple way. Choose a root note and a mode, and the app shows which notes you can play, how they are laid out on the fretboard and which chord type fits the sound best.
Store links will be available when the app launches.
Ideal for guitarists who want modes to stop being abstract fretboard diagrams and start recognising their sound.
What is DroPilot Modes?
Choose a root note and a mode to see its notes, fretboard positions and a backing track to practise over. Understand how each mode sounds, not just memorise shapes.
Includes major scale and melodic minor modes, 7 positions per mode, notes and intervals, characteristic note highlighting with Color, and a player with vamp, progression and loop.
Free guitar tuner — built in
Tune string by string with a clear meter before practising modes. The free tuner is in the same app — no separate download needed.
You can also adjust tempo, use practice backing tracks, highlight notes, try jumps and patterns and save your setups in favorites.
