Learn Your Fretboard: The Essential Memorization Guide for Guitar (Book + Online Bonus) Kindle Edition

Content is great.It's bound like a normal paperback and won't lay flat on a table or music stand so it's pretty useless when you're holding a guitar. I took it to Office Depot and had them cut off the original binding and spiral bind it. Cost $4. You'll use the book a whole lot more when it will lay flat so you can refer to the illustrations.

So in-depth in its analysis, I'm writing a review based only on a thorough first reading. Started With "Guitar Head's" GUITAR FRETBOARD: MEMORIZE THE FRETBOARD IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS., and currently re-reading. But THIS book builds on concepts that make memorization much easier. There were so many "light bulb" moments just reading, I know the exercises with a metronome will really help with neck knowledge. Glad I purchased this and the 24-hour method at the same time, and hope everyone finds both books as helpful as I have. Both authors have put out an excellent prodcct.

There are 4 stages to learning: Unconsciously incompetent, where you have no idea what you don't know; Consciously incompetent, where you know you have a lot to learn; Consciously competent, where you can do what you need to do, but it takes work; and Unconsciously competent, where you don't even think about the technique any more. If you're reading this, you're at least to stage two. Congratulations.This book deserves the highest praise I can give a book of instruction: it does exactly what it claims to do. But you still have to put in the work. There is no magic pill for talent. But this book provides a way of thinking about how to break down the learning process into manageable bites.And don't forget: once you learn something new, play it in a song, not just endless scales. That's how you get good.

This is more or less a slick way to tell you something you could find on the Internet in two seconds. If you're looking for a short cut method for learning your keyboard, this isn't it in spite of the fact the author tries breathlessly to make you think he's your best friend and he's giving it to you straight from the heart. The same author wrote a similar book in which he claims you will learn the fretboard in 24 hours if you buy the book. And then he tells you not to negatively comment, but if not satisfied to call him or write to him, for what I don't know. Pretty slick, but all shtick.

Good tips for new guitar players who need to learn the most important thing- the fretboard layout!Most other guitar books rush into music theory and chords without showing one how to map out the fretboard which is what makes guitar so difficult to learn. Book has good exercises. I do wish that he included a few useful songs in tab format to accompany the book which is quite short.

I love this author, the explanations are clear and easy to understand. I have other books on this topic, however, this is the best. I've learned so much, not only with this book but, all his books. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Picked up some valuable licks from this book. My only problem was I had to re-print in larger type to see the licks. Otherwise a valuable tool.

Explains patterns that are easy to remember. Practice drills and very helpful.

As an aspiring but ignorant guitarist, the first section of this book though evidently well intentioned leaves me baffled!On page 12 is a drawing of a fret-board with all the notes indicated. All very pretty, but which end is which??Is the nut at the left or the right end? there is a thick black line at the left end of the drawing a thinner line at the other end - what do they mean?There is also a black ring on this and two on the next drawing - What do they mean? there is no key to this nor is there an explanation that I can find.There is no indication that I can discern to indicate which way round it is!!This is unacceptable in an instruction book - sack the proof reader.This is definitely a return.

Nice clear concise method to accelerate fretboard learning. I found it really helpful and whilst the 'method' isn't rocket science; until you apply this way of learning/memorising the fretboard, the struggle to get to grips with the task makes you think it must be! For the small outlay, I got my money's worth ten-fold.

This book arrived and is not all it is made out to be at all! There is only a small part towards the back of the book which refers to the subject matter i.e. fretboard, the remainder contains Religious content which is of no relevance or is not mentioned in the description. Absolute rip off!

good!

This book is a Must Have especially for beginners. The author is a genius and I learnt all the notes will in a few days. I'm still memorizing and doing exercises in the book repeatedly so I have a photograph of the fretboard notes without having to count. Overall a great book.
