Amazon Customer: I am not a fan of tablature. In fact I am a traditionalist, I read notes. If you like tabs. Good. If not. Do not buy this book. I will give it to someone else.

David Boss: I consider myself an advanced novice, learning guitar theory and trying to be more comfortable with the fretboard. I have read multiple books and this one is the best. It gave me different approaches to managing the fretboard including giving me new reference points and tips. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a more practical way to learn the fretboard.

AbusuaYedom Quarshie: Without a shadow of doubt this is one of the best books, if no the best, on memorising the fretboard. If you want to know and understand the fretboard then you should get this book. It is straight to the point. Well done, Luke.

3rdGen: This book is rather small. The dimensions are about 7" by 10". Does this book teach you how to read music? No, and it does not claim to do so. It does show you the notes that correspond to each string and fret. Basically, the book gives you several tips on how to navigate around the fretboard which is helpful. I guess I was expecting "a little bit more". But, for the price, it's fine.

Hemanth Kumar: This book is a Must Have especially for beginners. The author is a genius and I learnt all the notes will in a few days. I'm still memorizing and doing exercises in the book repeatedly so I have a photograph of the fretboard notes without having to count. Overall a great book.

Sebastian: I like the approach of creating visual representations to facilitate fretboard navigation, rather than just trying dull memorization. The book is very clearly written and structured and I extracted some neat ideas from it. However, being am intermediate guitar player I roughly new half of the book's content. Moreover, I am missing some explicit ideas on how to extend the techniques that focus solely on natural notes (I.e. no sharps etc) to all notes. Overall I would recommend the book though, also given its low price and it being a quick read.

Radarbruce: There are 4 stages to learning: Unconsciously incompetent, where you have no idea what you don't know; Consciously incompetent, where you know you have a lot to learn; Consciously competent, where you can do what you need to do, but it takes work; and Unconsciously competent, where you don't even think about the technique any more. If you're reading this, you're at least to stage two. Congratulations.
This book deserves the highest praise I can give a book of instruction: it does exactly what it claims to do. But you still have to put in the work. There is no magic pill for talent. But this book provides a way of thinking about how to break down the learning process into manageable bites.
And don't forget: once you learn something new, play it in a song, not just endless scales. That's how you get good.

Bob Rottschalk: A darker and larger font on the tablature exercises would be much easier to read. Learning the system and trying to play are challenging enough without having difficulty reading the exercises.
