Description

Memorize the fretboard before you play another note! Here’s why…..A fully memorized fretboard is one of the most underrated skills in the guitar world. It’s not expected from a beginner, nor is it taught in the normal course of guitar learning.But the smartest and best guitarists in the world know why fretboard knowledge can be the secret to being good at guitar.Why memorize the fretboard?Apart from sounding extremely cool when you say “Oh, you played a C instead of a C”, it amplifies every area of your guitar playing:Area 1: Guitar scales won’t be just patterns on the neck:Guitar scales are simply a couple notes repeated all over the fretboard. If you understand this simple concept and have the fretboard memorized, you won’t need to memorize those endless patterns all over the fretboard. Simply get set and solo!Area 2: You’ll unlock 1000+ guitar chords:Chords are combinations of specific notes too. You can hold these notes anywhere on the fretboard to get chords in different contexts. And if you know the chord formulas (which we teach in our other books) you just unlocked the gates to the world of harmony – without having to memorize them all!But it starts with – you guessed it – fretboard knowledge.Area 3: Song writing becomes child’s play:Break free from common chord shapes and sounds to venture into the wild west of music writing. Add your own chords to popular songs, change the key or simply be more creative.Granted this is an advanced skill, but the shortest path to get there – fretboard memorization!Area 4: And the biggest benefit of them all – improvisation! Improvising is natural to a person who knows the fretboard! New note combinations, unorthodox melodies, playing fluently with a backing track or even writing new melodies. Nothing works if you can’t pick out the notes on the fretboard in an instant.So, fretboard knowledge allows you to solo better, improvise better, play better harmonies and write songs. That’s a major chunk of guitar right there!Why more people don’t memorize the fretboard.It’s hard! It seems impossible! It’ll come with time!And we agree with all of that. Memorizing 24 frets across 6 strings is not the easiest thing in the world. And most guitarists only ever master it after 1000s of hours on the guitar.But we want to give you a cheat code!Inside this book, we’ve simplified this process that takes a “lifetime” into 5 easy steps. Using these, absolute beginners have memorized the fretboard in less than 24 hours. Some even in as little as 5 hours!Wondering how we do it? Simple! We combined pattern recognition with memory techniques and games to create a system that will show you patterns hidden in plain sight and give you short memory phrases like “Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie”. This will take the layout of the fretboard right to the brain – WITHOUT any sort of blunt memorization.With over 700 5–star reviews, this book has helped over 39,000 guitarists shorten their learning time and gain the skill of the guitar gods – in under 24 hours!And it costs less than a pack of strings!So, scroll up and click ‘buy now’ to gain the unfair advantage of the pros in under 24 hours!

  • Awesome!!
Format: Paperback
Wow! This is the BEST instructional book! I have been taking guitar lessons to learn how to play and for my enjoyment. But, I have been curious to learn more about the frets, etc. on my own. This book explains everything in plain English, written so non-professionals can understand it AND it is TRUE to the title! The fret board can be learned in 24 hours especially if you have some basic guitar knowledge! It's a wonderful supplement to learning some "tricks" that you'd never know unless you studied theory and beyond. This book gives you a great visual set-up that allows you to incorporate it with your guitar practice. Learning is fun, easy and it surely helps you memorize everything without stress! Don't hesitate to buy it!! ... show more

  • Guitar Fretboard - Memorized Less than 24 hour
Format: Paperback
This book worked for me— fret board memorized! It took a random Monday night and some time here and there on the following Tuesday to get the relationships between the notes down. Literally had animals running up and down a few strings in particular! And then there is some bonus material after that, which was a nice surprise 😄! Carve out the time. Easy to read with a reasonable beginner baseline understanding, but still speaks to those who know some music theory. Shout out to the musician for putting this out into the world— I highly recommended this book. ... show more

  • fantastic learning material
Format: Paperback
Really good tips and tricks for learning the fretboard. Been looking for some books for a couple of friends that are learning the guitar. This sums up many years of practice and learning. Great resource!

  • Like these books but could be MUCH better
Format: Paperback
Hello, I've purchased 5 of the GH books so far and have joined their web site and downloaded all bonus materials. The books are pretty well written and to the point. If you're a beginner like me additional visuals would be very helpful. And in color would help. I find myself rerading these books over and over. Sometime I stop because it does not make sense and go search You Tube for a better explanation. Which I have found many times. I have my guitar with me and a note pad. I am writting almost everything down and creating my own graphics that are MUCH more readable than in the book. I have no idea why these aithors can not create a more graphically pleasing book. Killing my eyes trying to read these books are the fonts are so light. As a graphic designer for 30 years this just kills me. At least th ecopy is large, that is nice. I do like and recommend the books. They can be frustrating to a beginner, which they are designed for. The explanations could be much better as could the visuals. They are small and hard to see at times. All of the books could use a major upgrade in design. But as I said, I'd still highly recommend it. I will buy more. ... show more

  • I memorized the fretboard in 9 minutes with this book.
Format: Paperback
This book teaches you how to memorize the fretboard in way less than 24 hours, it took me 9 minutes and I can easily play each fret and call out the note for each one accurately. You only need to get to page 17 of the book and the light bulb should go on for you, from there it's just bonus material to further hone your ability to connect the dots and turn the newfound knowledge of the notes on the fretboard into music. When I say I memorized each note, I mean each and every note on every fret available on my guitar including sharp or flat semitones. I found the semitones most daunting before I read and understood this type of basic music theory. If you are new to playing guitar, this is helpful, it's a different perspective on the frets and each note that you won't find on youtube, I've watched thousands of videos and never heard anyone mention this method. Do yourself a favor if you are brand new to playing guitar, get yourself a chromatic tuner that attaches to your guitar, try to get one that can identify sharp / flat semitones this way you can get visual feedback while you are playing each note, this way you can confirm each note while you are playing (also helpful for learning basic chords and getting the intonation correct on your guitar). If it takes you 24 hours to memorize the fretboard, I would be really surprised, there is probably some other type of cognitive issue going on in your head if it takes you that long... or maybe you just need to go back to the basics EADGBE first. Step 1, memorize the notes on each open string EADGBE Step 2, memorize every note on the fretboard... it sounds hard but its ridiculously easy. Have fun and don't be discouraged, it takes years to become a skilled musician, you might be like me and dislike every noise coming out of your guitar for years, until one day you finally will appreciate what you have learned and enjoy making music. ... show more

  • 100% WORTH THE $$$!!!!
Format: Paperback
I don’t write many reviews, but I felt the major urge to leave this. I am 30 years old and have an 11 year old daughter. Naturally I wanted both of us to learn the guitar. I have been playing off and on forever but I only know two songs and a pick pattern so I wouldn’t even call it playing lol. The book came in the mail today and my wife helped my daughter with the first two chapters. I came home and the first thing my daughter does is show me that she knows the name of the chords as far as sharps and flats. She was super excited about it so I picked up the book and blazed through 5 chapters. I’m not joking when I say I memorized the friggin fretboard in an hour and a half. I was shocked myself! When you see the fretboard in the book it looks very intimidating. But I learned it in way less than the 24 hour promise. I can fill in the whole fretboard on a blank one. I saw a review where they said that they didn’t get the bonuses that were promised. Well if they would have actually opened the darn book and read the friggin thing they would see the website to go to and get the free bonuses. I’m really excited about tomorrow. I know my daughter will have it down when I come home from work and she will be stoked to show me. We are going to keep practicing and do the exercises it gives us. My daughter and I are going to be rock ‘n’ rolling soon! Thank you so much for writing this book!! You have relit the love of guitars! ... show more
