Guitar Fretboard Memory Magic: Painlessly Memorize All the Notes on Your Neck Forever for Instant Recall

This book is elegantly simple. Novice musicians want to play so much that they hurry through and understand. The piece they miss is understanding is great, but you won't play any better. This course is designed in such a way you aren't bombarded with the authors "tips" or theory. This is a get down a "do it" book Nick is inviting you to bring the neck inside your hands and head. Knowing the neck is not a head thing alone, it's a hand thing and later a head thing. I'm not saying its easy, cause it's a lot of work, in small pieces, stretched out over time. Take a deep dive into his method and you'll be the better for it.

The book has a great layout, nicely formatted with background images. It stands out from the crowd.The steps and visuals are straightforward and easy to follow.The only downside is that black text is not readable on a dark background on a few pages.

I've always been a lover of music and when I was a child I was very passionate about playing the drums. Unfortunately, as I grew up I fell out of practice with it and become more of a consumer rather than a producer of music. For the past year or so I've really wanted to get back to playing music and learning the guitar just seemed like the best option given how versatile the instrument is. Initially, I started with youtube guides and tutorials but didn't feel like I was getting the information in a structured way, it was more like learning in a piecemeal fashion. So I opted to pick up this book hoping it would give me the structure I was looking for, & thankfully it has! This really is such a fantastic book for a beginner like me, I finally feel like I'm making real progress in my guitar playing. Knowing where my fingers need to be to make a certain sound has been challenging but after going through this book for just a few days I've been able to memorize most of the fretboard! After another weekend I think I'll have it all memorized. I'm very happy I picked up this book!

Many guitarists cannot name the frets on the fretboard. I was one of these before this book. This book taught me the basic building blocks of the instrument, the notes. These 6 easy exercises made for a step by step approach that got me results fast and painlessly. I also found these exercises to be very beginner friendly. Just put 15 minutes per day in with this book and you will be shocked at the results you are able to produce. Thanks Nick!

What an awesome book! It's a total winner for me, because it focuses on one task only - how to memorize the notes on the fretboard. Being a busy mom of three, I don't get much free time, so I really appreciate that it's straight to the point. I found the instructions in this book very easy to follow and would highly recommend it to any guitarist who hasn't learned the notes yet! And I also loved the cover, it really stands out!

This is the easiest format book to learn. The neck. Nick takes you through simple exercises that help you to locate specific notes and actually memorize the fret board. Amazing book and satisfied with this purchase.

I have so much trouble remembering notes on the fretboard.. this manual is definitely helping me to memorize the notes.

After I picked up my guitar after a 30 year hiatus, I had forgotten more than I remembered. My previous playing style wasn't one to advance on. Slamming out 'power chords' with abandon worked as garage band, but no further.I started searching for good books I could use to create a solid working knowledge of the guitar. This is a great learning tools. I'd recommend this to anyone that isn't as grounded as they should be or who wants to improve on their knowledge and playing skills

There are good ideas in this book. I will have to see if they live up to its promise once I have spent a few weeks working on them. There are some issues, though. There is limited content because the instruction doesn’t really need any more once you have the principles nailed down. Thus of 56 pages, 16 are blank TAB/STAVE sheets and blank pages for chord diagrams. I would have preferred that a TAB for each practice sequence was provided instead. In fact, I suspect that the whole subject could have been covered in far fewer pages because there is a lot of padding. I am sure you will find the book helpful and there is added value with the online content so in all, recommended

I bought the book, downloaded the stuff that was included and have begun to work on it...albeit slowly.Nick, the author, is a great guy - a genuine type. He has a facebook group too which is very useful to a beginner, well one year in, like meI cannot fault the author s attitude and willingness to help, provide tips etcA big thumbs up from me. Cheers fella.

What can I say? The book is laid out well and easy to follow but most importantly it works.There is absolutely zero fluff in the book.Both my son and I are practicing using Nick's videos and this book and can see visible progress.Highly recommended. So much so that I have bought a couple of copies for friends.

I’m a beginner and have a ton of guitar books and I think this is the only one I’ll continuously reach for.It’s clear, sets out exactly what is says with no unnecessary blah blah blah - and there is also a really useful video guide on the website!Also the author is so friendly and helpful should you need to contact him. Thank youuu Nick 🙂🙂

I'd suggest that this is not bad for beginners, not for intermediate/advanced. The information can be found on YouTube for free
