“Even though I’ve been a musician for the past 25 years, there are things about music theory that I have discovered only recently. If I had had a copy of the Fretboard Toolbox in my hands during my early and intermediate years of learning the guitar, I am certain that I’d be a much better player today. One comes to understand how chords and keys all fit together and how to translate from recording to performance but it can be a LONG process. The Fretboard Toolbox will help you “wrap your brain” around music theory and will guide you in making those complex musical connections that separate beginners from more serious musicians.”

"I believe the Fretboard Toolbox helps in areas of music that most guitarist do not get exposed to in the beginning, or sometimes ever in the journey of playing music on the guitar. The Fretboard Toolbox help the guitarist not just see a shape while learning, say a B Major chord, but will understand that it is a triad, made of the notes B(root), D#(3rd), and F#(5th). This will help the guitarist know the fretboard and unlock its "secrets" so the guitarist can see and know what they are playing. Putting this idea not only on one position on the fretboard will allow the guitarist to move about the fretboard with ease, know the notes instead of just a shape. How chords are built in tertian harmony is shown with ease on the Fretboard Toolbox, how scales can be turned into chord scales, and then be made into a song or aid in figuring out a song. This is huge to the beginning guitarist who wants to explore the music theory side of playing guitar. Not only is this good for guitar, but it can be applied to literally any instrument, you just have to know where the notes are. A great addition to any guitar instructor's bag of tricks for the student....or a good learning tool for the guitarist that has a little musical theory background.
The Fretboard Toolbox lets you 'know' instead of just 'see'....all that is left is to 'hear' and 'feel'."

"Lately, whenever I sit down to play, I just have the Fretboard Toolbox out sitting on the couch or coffee table right next to me. I refer to it every so often for a variety of things:
- Which note is it on the fretboard
that I’m playing? Of course, I can always figure it out without it,
but it’s just easier with it…for example, if I’m on the 9th
fret on the B string on my classical guitar that only has ONE fretboard
marker, it takes me a while to calculate back up to the E or A string or
back to open position where I know the notes like the back of my
hand. Easier just to look on the Toolbox.
- Which note is giving a particular
chord a distinctive sound…the Toolbox is particularly good for this
because I can leave my left hand in place or maybe move a note or two
around to see which one makes the chord “work”…then refer to the Toolbox.
- In about a week, it has REALLY helped
solidify some theory that I should have already known. Because I’m a
good faker, I can play a variety of extended chords and make it sound
decent. But I’m the reverse of a typical musician in that I’m not
saying to myself, “hmm…a 7 sharp 9 would sound great here…how do I make
that?” Instead I’m thinking “that sounds good…what was it?” and I
can figure it out with the Toolbox.
I
have used it more than I thought I would. It doesn’t have everything
that I might want or use, necessarily, but the way it’s laid out, it makes it
easy enough for me to picture it visually and figure it out for myself."

Great meeting you at the Walnut Valley Festival. Thanks again for taking the time to explain your guitar system. I am looking forward to using it. Hopefully now I will be able to make sense of the guitar and advance my playing.
Thanks again!

Thanks so much, Scott. I really appreciate it. This will be really handy for helping me better understand music theory. I'll definitely check out the new YouTube videos; visual lessons are by far the best learning tool.

Scott,
This is SO cool. :) I haven't had
a chance to look through these in depth, but I like all the layout and
the way you explain things. Maybe I'll actually learn guitar a little
better now...
