       | Very cool! Too bad we only have one cursor...it'd be cool to have
       | friends join in as extra "fingers" and play melodies in a QWOP-
       | like fashion :P

       | Very nice! Humble suggestion: Add some Neil Young and Joni
       | Mitchel tunings.

         | Thanks for the suggestion. I've been doing my research (sorry I
         | have limited guitar knowledge, I am learning Spanish flamenco
         | now).
         | 
         | According to
         | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_guitar_tunings
         | 
         | You might be referring to:
         | 
         | Neil Young -> "B-F-B-E-G-B" or "D-A-D-G-B-D"
         | 
         | Joni Mitchel -> "D-A-D-F-A-D" or "G-G-D-G-B-D"
         | 
         | Which ones are the correct ones?

       | lovely- the demo could have a little wider view of the fretboard,
       | maybe 6 or 8 frets at a time.

       | Very nice! I have been working on a triad and inversion practice
       | tool in React and may seriously consider rewriting it to use your
       | component. https://porkloin.github.io/triad-practice-mk2/
       | 
       | Any chance that the fingering indicators can take text or color?
       | I use that a lot in my current tool. Not to rush you with feature
       | requests or anything :p

         | Your app looks super interesting by the way. I might find it
         | useful too.

         | So glad you liked it :)
         | 
         | You can customise the content of the indicators with the
         | "renderFinger" prop and render whatever you want inside.
         | 
         | See https://github.com/4lejandrito/react-
         | guitar/blob/master/pack...
         | 
         | Feel free to create an issue if that's not enough for you. I'll
         | be more than happy to help.

       | Awesome! Works great on my iPhone SE

       | Very clever. Took me a second to figure out how to mute a string.
       | I figured it out, and I can't think of a better way, but
       | otherwise it was quite easy to figure out.

       | Looks nice! I'm currently working on something similar based on
       | vue:
       | 
       | https://fretty.app
       | 
       | It's a work in progress but you can already play around with
       | scales and different tunings

         | 
         | In fact react-guitar is the end result of a very similar
         | project that I never finished.
         | 
         | I needed to reuse the guitar component for another project I am
         | working on now so I decided to make it open source.

             | Seems like fretboard apps are a favorite pastime.
