This tool aims to help you to learn the guitar fretboard. You can use it to draw diagrams of scales and chords, using colors to highlight notes or differences among patterns.
See it in action at: http://eliasdorneles.github.com/Fretboard-Studies/
Every diagram is linkable, so you can give the diagram a title and share the link with your friends (or students, maybe). Here are some examples:

I added some thing to Elias's fretboard.
There is a note painter which paints wherever the mouse is until turned off.
There are also "fretpainters" at the bottom which will paint all the notes in a fret.
You can show the note names or the note intervals relative to the selected root.
There is a root pull-down and a set Root mode with the next mouse click.
There is also a notegroups browser which will replace any painted notes with scales or arpeggios (and update the root). I haven't figured out the best way to present chords yet.
The paint by Interval color mode will continue to paint with this note group.
You can drag the notegroups to the notegroup dashboard. From there you can single click to convert painted notes to the new notegroup. These notegroup "buttons" can be resorted and double-clicked to trash.
There are also Player controls which will cycle through the notes relative to the speed spinner.
The generate link works pretty much the same.
