He&rsquo;s a smart guy and he&rsquo;s picking it up pretty quickly, but he&rsquo;s vibecoding some learning tools using claude and claude doesn&rsquo;t know how to play guitar.</p> <p>He generated some visualizations of the fretboard, but each fret was numbered (starting at A) 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5. If you know a bit about scales, you probably could recognize this pattern as an A minor scale. My friend, being new to music, did not know that. He just knew that he now had numbers to correlate to posistions on the fretboard.</p>
