About
The electric guitar transformed popular music in the 20th century, becoming the defining instrument of rock, blues, jazz, and funk. Its ability to be shaped by pickups, amplifiers, and effects pedals gives it an enormous range of sounds — from warm, clean jazz tones to the searing leads of rock solos. Our virtual electric guitar captures that clean electric tone and lets you play it right in your browser.
Click any note on the fretboard to hear it ring out with the bright, sustained sound that only an electric guitar can produce. The interactive fretboard displays every playable note across the neck, and the animated string vibrations give you visual feedback as you play. Load up one of the pre-programmed songs or type in your own note patterns to hear them played back at any tempo you choose.
Pioneers like Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, and B.B. King showed the world what the electric guitar could do, and the instrument has continued to evolve through every decade since. Whether you want to explore how notes connect across the fretboard or just jam out to some classic melodies, this free online electric guitar puts the experience at your fingertips.
