shredder-scales

shredder-scales is a python package that allows look-up of guitar scales given a key, scale, and tuning and outputs a plot showing the valid note positions on the fretboard.

The program accepts any number of guitar strings and any tuning without restriction to standard tunings. The number of guitar strings will be set based on the entered tuning.

For example: * 'EADGBE' will set standard 6-string tuning * 'G#D#G#C#F#A#D#' will set drop G# 7-string tuning * 'F#BEADGBE' will set standard 8-string tuning
