👉 Fretless is a concept in music theory, specifically in the field of harmony and counterpoint. It refers to a musical phrase or piece that does not have any notes or chords attached to it. In other words, the melody and rhythm are all independent from one another, without any notes or chords interfering with each other. In many Western classical music traditions, including jazz, blues, and traditional folk music, "fretless" is often used to describe a piece that lacks overt musical structure
