Mariachi Fingerboard Explorer — Guitarrón

Pick any note and see where it sits across the A–D–G–C–E–A fingerboard on Guitarrón, string by string — the map under the bass section's part.

An interactive map of this fingerboard in A–D–G–C–E–A: tap a note and it lights everywhere it occurs, so the 6 strings stop being 6 separate things to memorise.

This tuning is re-entrant: string 5 carries the highest open pitch and string 1 the lowest, so the pitches do not climb in the order the strings are laid out. Nothing on the neck tells you that. This does.

There is 1 pair of open strings exactly an octave apart on this instrument, which is why the octave double-stop is a hand position rather than a stretch.

Every note a called form asks this instrument for is already somewhere on this board — the mánico engine only names which ones, and when.
