Does anyone know if this is any good?

Erm, yeah I bought it for a fiver off eBay or something.
Basically, it's just a memory recognition trick, the kind of thing thats been in use since the ancient Greeks, to memorize the names of the notes in various positions. It's OK for that kind of thing, and certainly interesting, but it doesn't give you what the guy claims it will - it certainly doesn't make you master the fretboard!
-
Blimey that was a quick responce! It seems nothing can get away with wild claims now we have this forum lol!
I'll buy a copy off you just to see what it's like!
Does it use colours to help remember notes?
-
Dunno if anything like this, but this is free :)

Thanks for that! I'm suprised i could actually get any of those right!
-
you mean the fret warrior? Cool lil time taker for the pc that :)
-
yer just tried it thats cool... how do you do it? by ear? i know the notes by the frets so just count up.....
-
i found it really easy to learn where the notes are, i use the octave positions to work them out ;) seeing i memorised the 2 low strings (useful to know what powerchord your playins) and the octave positions show the notes and the high e string you already know. took a bit of time but its much more fun, better practice and easier than nmonics (sp? cant spell that word. curse you dyslexia!)
-
haha yer the octaves do help a lot.... make it much quicker.
ive known about octaves for ages but only recently realised that when you play a powerchord your playing two of the same note....
-
Just learn your scales then its a lot easier. That is the simplest way and it has got a real mathmatic quality to it!

Be careful Johnny, a lot of professional guitarists are going to be angry when they find out.

I think you could take him ¬¬

The thing about the system is that it is good for getting you to remember the names of all the notes in various positions - if it was advertised as simply a memory technique then we probably wouldnt be standing here poking fun at it. The problem is that he makes all these ridiculous claims, claims which the product simply cannot fulfill.
And besides, to say that what made Jimmy Page a great guitarist was that he knew the notes is cr@p. Sure, that's part of it, but there are other minor issues, such as technique, emotion etc, which the creator neatly sidesteps.
-
I reckon learning all the interval shapes and note names from any root does wonders for your playing - you get to know the note names, the interval sounds, the relationship between notes, the major and minor inversion, harmony. - and you get to understand what the hell Guitar Magazines are going on about when they are talking about scales and modes.
