Memorize and Master the Guitar Fretboard in 14 Days. Daily Lessons for memorizing and navigating the guitar neck. All music is presented in easy-to-follow popular tab format and fretboard diagrams so you’ll be able to quickly apply the material right to your guitar.
Guitar instructor and seasoned author Troy Nelson takes you step-by-step in this easy-to-follow guitar fretboard book. This is the ultimate guide for learning every note of the fretboard!

Instead of staring at the guitar neck and memorizing every note on each string, the lessons in this book will teach you the notes in both horizontal (along the strings) and vertical (across the strings) fashion.

This guitar fretboard book takes a novel approach to fretboard memorization, visualization, and navigation. What makes the book truly special is that it removes the tedious aspects of memorizing the neck by incorporating other musical elements into the learning process.

Revolutionary 6-step Method for learning:
Octave Shapes
Major & Minor 3rd Intervals
Diatonic Triad Arpeggios
Diatonic 7th-Chord Arpeggios
Major Pentatonic Scale Patterns
Major Scale Patterns
Plus, all of the music examples are presented in rhythm guitar tab and fretboard diagrams so you can quickly get the music off the page and onto your fretboard!

Meet Author Troy Nelson

Since 2005, Troy has been publishing music lesson books and sheet music songbooks for every popular instrument, tapping into the talents of many authors and musicians. Troy, himself, is an author as well, writing more than 50 music lesson books and songbooks.

His philosophy on writing his books is simple: Give the reader what they want, which is music instruction that is both fun and easy to understand. This will keep them engaged and, in turn, make them a better guitarist in the shortest amount of time.

The former Editor-in-Chief of the popular Guitar One magazine, Nelson wrote his first book, Guitar Aerobics, shortly after leaving the publication in 2005. The title, which has become a #1 bestseller, has sold more than 250,000 copies worldwide and, for over a decade, has remained one of Amazon's top picks for Guitar.
