Pleasantly surprised
I was pleasantly surprised by how effective this little tool is. It is borderline ingenious. I just started playing guitar a few months ago. However, I have a solid understanding of music theory from playing piano for years. I think this tool is best for someone with foundational knowledge in music theory. I think understanding these concepts at a baseline will make the tool more useful: 1) intervals (how to build pentatonic scales, how to build major/minor scales) 2) basic chord shapes (C, A, G, E, D) - check out some YouTube videos on the "CAGED" system because the positions identified on the tool follow this system. 3) not absolutely necessary but I think having a basic grasp of modes (Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, etc.) can also be useful because the modes are listed at the bottom of the tool. There is probably some benefit of this tool for every level of guitarist (beginner, intermediate, and potentially even advanced). I understand the complaints that the font is small. I also get that it may seem a bit pricey. I have had it for a little over a week and I've already studied it for 2-3 hours, so I know it is going to be worth it. I would love to see a plastic version of this with a snapping mechanism as you slide from key to key. ... show more

Excellent to understand the guitar fretboard
Incredible tool for guitarists. Exactly what I was looking for to understand the patterns and how everything is interconnected...I wish there were two sizes, one larger one and this size but this is perfect for general use. Excellent readability and Ease of Instructions. Could include more video instructions as apart of the training :) on how to use it. Very intelligent and thank you for creating a wonderful product! ... show more

Helpful Theory Tool
Helpful music theory tool, came with a pamphlet full of notes too. Highly recommend.

This is a great learning tool.
I really like this ruler because it presents all the shapes in one place and in a compact, easy to carry form. I will say that the small form factor does make it a little hard to read the notes from more than a foot or so away. The shapes are very clear and easy to see though. The instructions that come with it are brief and require a little more knowledge of music terminology to fully understand. But using the ruler could not be easier. The ruler seems well made. There is a website that does not have much content yet but the maker says more will be added. ... show more

Simple, compact, complete scale tool!
This is awesome! A simple to use tool that helps you learn the scales and also know what key you are in. The sliding scale ruler to change keys is genius! I love this tool I only wish I found it sooner! Thank you 🙏

A bit complicated...
It's a quality slide chart, but the instruction that comes with it are hyper confusing. Most pros have this stuff in their head already, but if you are struggling to learn the modes and CAGED system this would be better if the explanation of it's use were a bit most simplified.

Great tool for an aspiring guitar student.
Ingenious design. Covers several aspects all in one easy to read tool. For me as a relatively new guitar student it was very helpful.

Worth it if it helps me learn the fretboard
I have been playing the guitar for a little over a year. I could see that there were patterns and that knowing them would be helpful. I have a hard time with theory and scales and hope that this slide rule will help me. I read the directions carefully and found them helpful up to where it got into the caged and modes. I’ll revisit that later. I liked all the detail and practice suggestions The directions use the example of it in A minor which is with the slide rule all closed up with no directions for which way to slide it. After fiddling around, I found that sliding the inner part to the right to put the desired note in a square box worked. I am confident that this is a useful tool and have no regrets about the purchase. It came through the mail via Canadian post and was days early. ... show more
