The Fretboard Toolbox Method is based on the fact that within
a given key, there are certain chords that "belong" together and will
always sound great. Knowledgable musicians take advantage of this
idea, and have a working knowledge of this group of chords for any
given key. Even if you haven't studied much music theory, you've
probably noticed that the chords G, C, and D are found in many of the
songs you like to play. A minor, B minor, and E minor, are also found
within a lot of those same songs. By knowing the chords that go
together, and by being able to find the key that a song is in, you can
figure out a mind-boggling amount of music that you enjoy! What's
great about the Fretboard Toolbox method is that you can use
this knowledge in any key, and you can apply it to guitar, blues guitar, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, and/or piano!
The Fretboard Toolbox method not only shows you which chords go together, but it shows you how those
chords are built. For example, a G chord is built with the notes G, B,
and D. This is the same for ANY INSTRUMENT! All you have to be able
to do is see the notes that make up a chord, and then see where those
notes are located on your fretboard (or keyboard). The Fretboard
Toolbox method does this in a clear way that can have you opening up
your fretboard, and your PRACTICAL use of music theory, in a fraction of
the time it took me to piece together these ideas from
lessons, Internet sources, books, DVD's, etc. Go to my "See All Reviews" page to see what others have to say about it!
What is special about the Fretboard Toolbox is that it does all of this and more, for every single one of the 12 most commonly played major and relative minor keys! Moreover, once you choose a key to play in, Fretboard Toolboxes displays all of this information in a way that lets you see everything on one page, at one time; something a traditional book, DVD, Internet site, simply can not do. This way, if you're trying to figure out a song that you like, once you find the key that the song is in (see the "Instructions" page on your Toolbox for a brief description of how this is done), you just flip to that page and then immediately see which chords and notes are most likely in play.
Lastly, since the Toolboxes are set up with coil binding, you can have something in front of you only one-page wide, so it fits easily on a music stand, coffee table, or couch! I've had a blast opening up instruments in this way, and I hope that these will do the same for you!
