    • The book does what the title says: helps understand the fretboard and memorize it
Format: Kindle
This book does what its title says: it explains the logic behind the fretboard and indeed teaches you how the fretboard works. It also contains the exercises, so you can practice and be able to memorize the notes on the fretboard. This is a short book. It took me about an half an hour to read it in its entirety, however, I have no doubt it will give me much more time to apply into practice what I have read. It would be helpful for any person who does not know how the fretboard work and wants to memorize the notes. The book gives guidelines and tips. However, it is your job to make it happen. For a person who knows the fretboard it will probably be not very useful. I liked the book because it is short, to the point, adequately priced ($3.99 + tax) and in the electronic form. What I did not like is the amount of advertisements in comparison to the amount of the actual content. I think there are too many advertisements taking into account the length of the book. The author encourages to review the book and provides an interesting incentive to do so, i.e., offers another book of your (to some extent) choice. ... show more

This is an easy to understand set of techniques that make mastering the fretboard less intimidating and understandable. Good resource.

    • I especially liked that this was short and to the point
Format: Kindle
The information is presented clearly and concisely, similarly to the three other Joseph Alexander guitar books I own. I especially liked that this was short and to the point, including excellent exercises to solidify the key points in you mind. My only suggestion is related to how the octave patterns are presented. While it certainly helps to know where octaves are across strings (2 strings over and 2 frets up, etc.), it is not followed up by any technique to use laterally (up-down the fretboard). I have another book that presents the same octave patterns, but organizes them into 5 "root shapes", which help to more quickly move up or down the neck. Other than that point, it was great. ... show more

    • Exactly what I need at this point in my playing...
Format: Kindle
I vividly remember listening to The Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand" in 1963 and immediately thinking - that's what I want to do...play guitar! As it was...I chose drums as my main instrument which had its advantages. As the drummer, the band practiced at my house and I was always playing someones guitar on the off days. Eventually I bought my own. While I knew how to read music from studying mallet percussion, the fretboard never made sense to me. I found "How to Memorize the Fretboard" extremely beneficial in helping me to make logical sense of everything I've learned up to this point. For the first time I am able to move from one point on the neck to another - knowing where I am and why. This book has also enabled me to practice through visualization. At anytime during the day I am able to recall one or more of the exercises and run through them in my mind which has increased my understanding significantly. Highly recommended for players with a good foundation and difficulty pulling it all together. Well done Mr. Alexander and thank you! ... show more

Format: Kindle
Brilliantly simple. So intuitive that I don't know why I did not think the method up alone. I strongly recommend this for any beginner-to-intermediate guitarist who wants to know their way around with just a bit of work and not a lot of time. I recently came back to this book after first reading it 2 years ago. Having played acoustic guitar "for myself" for 20 years I never had reason to memorize the fretboard. I switched to Electric Lead Guitar, joined a band and was immediately challenged and stumbling. I found this resource tremendously helpful, quickly elevating me out of a quagmire of jumbled notes to a clear recognition of patterns and structures. Sure, it takes work - even with this guide - but that is what this - very succinct guide. It's worth it! Mike ... show more

    • It's okay but get the other book, money better spent.
Format: Kindle
its a great book if you don't already know this stuff. if you want a few quick tips to get you going in the right direction this will take you there.. You will need more though as this feels like an excerpt from a larger book. Get fret board fluency, same guy much more info much more comprehensive and money better spent for the longer term... Having said that... If you dont wanna go through a whole book and wanna get right to the meat of things this will get you going and you'll be happy with it for less cost. ... show more

    • This book teaches me things I bypassed or missed out on for a long time. I'm very Happy I Bought it!
Format: Kindle
This is really an Interesting Book. I've been playing guitar for a long time now and I often didn't take the time to memorize all the notes on my guitar Fretboard. After reading the book I thought to myself how simple it is to know every note on my Guitar Fretboard why didn't I think of the notes on the fretboard as described in the book. I know all the notes on my guitar as of now from the simple way to remember the notes as described in the book. This book teaches me things I bypassed or missed out on for a long time. I'm glad I purchased this book and I'd recommend it to anyone that has trouble where each note is! The book is not that long but shows you exactly how to find the notes in a few simple exercises to study. Thanks Joseph Alexander and Amazon for Having this book! Sincerely, Billy Chase ... show more

    • Great Resource for an Important Learning Goal
Format: Kindle
I have seen other guitarists offer advice on learning the location of notes on the guitar neck. This can be a daunting challenge for a couple of reasons. The notes on a piano for example are arranged from high to low, in order, and can be easily seen. A given note name at a given pitch appears in one place and in that one place only. On a guitar the same note name with the exact same pitch may appear in several different places. There is also a different interval between the 2nd string and the strings adjacent to it. For this reason the entire fretboard is asymmetric. This book presents patterns that can be learned and recognized, and other strategies for familiarizing oneself with the notes on the guitar fretboard. In my experience it is the most complete and useful resource for doing so. I recommend it unequivocally. ... show more
