Absolute Fretboard Trainer Review
The most important thing when you're learning how to play guitar is knowing the names and
places of the notes on the fretboard. This knowledge allows you to enter a whole new level of playing.
You´ll learn to understand the music theory which is applied to the guitar and it will help you to actually understand chords and scales in stead of just playing songs without knowing what you´re actually doing.
This way you´ll learn how to improvise and even write songs.
The Absolute Fretboard Trainer is the tool to help you with all of this,
it´s your complete guide to learning the guitar´s neck!
You´ll even have the ability to choose an exact part of the neck to be drilled on
(for instance the notes on the 1st and 2nd string, frets 1 through 3).
Absolute Fretboard Trainer has 4 different learning methods.
The first one is "Pacing position-to-note".
Just choose the area of the fretboard that you want to work on
and adjust the metronome to your prefered speed.
A dot will indicating a note that you need to name before the time's up.
When you get comfortable at a slower speed, just speed up the metronome and give yourself a challenge.
The second method is "pacing note-to-position".
You are asked a note by name and you will have to click on the correct position on the fretboard.
Like the first method you´ll need to give your answers at a constant rate that you set.
The other two methods will allow you to answer less stressful, at a more leisurely pace.
These methods are called "Q&A position-to-note" and "Q&A note-to-position".
Apart from the fact that you have unlimited time to give the answer (unless you choose to set a
timer wich is adjustable from 1 to 5 seconds) they are the same as their pacing counter parts.
The fretboard looks very realistic and has a full range of features. It has different backgrounds to represent different types of guitars, including maple, rosewood, ebony and other woods. You can also change to 4, 5
or 6 string bass guitar string configurations so this is also great tool for bass players!

computer and do the note-to-position exercises by actually playing the notes in real time.There is also a brand-new type of exercise in this version called Sight Reading.
