Why Guitar Players Are Putting Their Phones on Their Headstocks

FretView guitar phone mount clipped to a guitar headstock

It looks a little strange at first. Then it makes perfect sense.

Most guitar accessories promise to change your tone, your technique, or your setup. FretView solves a much simpler problem: where do you put your phone while you play?

Your phone already has the tabs, tuner, lesson, backing track, or recording app you need. The annoying part is finding somewhere to put it where you can actually see and reach it.

Put the screen where you’re already looking

FretView clips directly to your guitar headstock and keeps your phone in your natural line of sight while you play.

That means less looking across the room, less balancing your phone against an amp, and less stopping in the middle of a song just to check the screen.

No permanent installation. No complicated setup. Clip it on, position your phone, and play.

It’s not just for tabs

Guitar players already use their phones for far more than reading music. A mount like FretView can keep tuners, chord charts, lesson videos, backing tracks, practice apps, and recording controls close at hand.

The point isn’t to add more gear to your setup. It’s to make the gear you already use easier to use.

One small accessory, one less distraction

FretView isn’t trying to reinvent guitar playing. It simply gives your phone a better place to live while you’re playing.

If you’ve ever balanced your phone on your knee, leaned it against an amp, or kept looking away from your guitar to follow a song, you already know the problem.

Your tabs. Your tuner. Right where you need them.

Whether you’re practicing alone, learning a new song, following a lesson, or recording yourself, FretView helps keep your screen close without putting another stand in the room.
