Like Jam Tracks, Clear Scales focuses on the Pentatonic scale, which is arguably the most ubiquitous scale in modern music and generally the first one that beginner guitar players are taught, due to its familiar sound and "out-of-the-box" simplicity.

Clear Scales packages the Pentatonic scale neatly onto one screen, displaying all five charts in easy to read boxes.

To increase dexterity across the fretboard, players can transpose the charts into various keys using a single tap. The UI is designed to be aesthetically pleasing and conducive to stress-free practice. Clear Scales gets its name from the ability to tap and zoom, giving players a high resolution, full-screen look at each chart so they can quickly focus their attention and improve their skills at a faster rate.
