Review: Absolutely a necessity to learn guitar - This book is amazing. I started to "learn" guitar 6 months ago. I thought I had a good understanding of the guitar fretboard. Once I started using this book I realized I was going about it the wrong way. If I had used this book as the first thing I ever learned about guitar I would be 10 times better now. Previously I had learned about 20 chord shapes, the major scale, and the minor pentatonic scale. I could play lot's of songs by reading tab and listening, but now I can create original music. It is so easy now. The easy part of guitar is the technique, to a point. The hard part is understanding theory and applying it to the fretboard quickly without much thought. This book makes that easy. Now I truly "see" the fretboard. I am also starting to "see" patterns from songs and understand exactly where they come from and why. Now, don't think if you buy this book and skim through it you will be a great guitar player. You have to actually use it. Follow their easily laid out directions and you will benefit greatly from it. Simple ideas like reading, speaking, writing, and playing in different combinations truly do work. It is more of a music course than just a book. I also purchased an ear training book at the same time, "The 12 Notes of Music". It goes perfectly with this book. When you can see, hear, understand, and apply music you will be a great guitar player. These two books can get you there. I spent literally hundreds of dollars on guitar books previous to these two books, only to use once or twice and collect dust. I am no longer looking for more guitar books. I am finally content, and ready to become a great musician. I hope you are too. Rock on! Review: An EXCELLENT book for learning the fretboard - I can't speak highly enough of this workbook. Within 3 months of working with this book a little bit every day and practicing the concepts suggested, I was able to triple my working chord vocabulary up and down the neck at all fret positions, and without having to memorize a thousand new shapes. If you work meticulously through this book from beginning to end in small doses, your knowledge of the fretboard layout will expand significantly. This book teaches you WHERE THINGS ARE AND WHY THEY'RE THERE so that you can then take that knowledge and apply it to the things you're learning from a teacher or by yourself from a method book or youtube videos. This is a supplementary learn resource, NOT a guitar method book. It will NOT teach you how to solo, specific playing techniques, or how to play a certain style of music; that is not the purpose of this book and if that is what you seek then you should either find a guitar teacher or one of the many self-taught venues like online self-pace courses or a good guitar method book. that includes audio and video. What this book WILL do is help you expand your chord vocabulary and scale patterns so that you can break out of always playing chords at the first three frets because you don't know how else to play them. Been learning some soloing but you're stuck always soloing a pentatonic scale at the same fret position because you don't know where else to play something? This book will show you how to figure out where on the fretboard you can experiment with solo in the key you're playing in, and how to figure out the scale pattern you should be using in order to play at that location of the neck, and WHY you're now switching to this pattern instead of using a different pattern. Etc. It's a great book. As with anything else you'll only get out of it what you put in. ## Features - Pages: 82 - Instrumentation: Guitar ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #87,716 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #83 in Music Theory (Books) #102 in Guitars (Books) #467 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 956 Reviews | ## Images ![Guitar Fretboard Workbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61N-iMNU5uL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely a necessity to learn guitar *by L***E on January 26, 2011* This book is amazing.

Up to this point, I was able to sit with a program and learn songs at half speed and "knew" my scales but whenever I sat down with a jam track it just sounded like noodling. I could play some fairly complicated tracks but when asked to produce something myself all that came out was some scales and, at best, some quotes from other songs. I wanted to break this barrier and having studied music years before had a strong feeling my lack of theory was the disconnect. You can learn scale shapes but without theory they sound lame. You can learn chords but need some theory to give them direction. This book forces you to learn the fretboard (something I never bothered with beyond the 6th and 5th string), learn the CAGED method (I taught myself the three note per string shapes), Pentatonic and Major scale shapes in CAGED, focusing not on shapes but the notes contained and where within those shapes, intervals, arpeggios and from that point on more heavy duty stuff. This book isn't a learn licks book, instead it really teaches you your instrument. It sounds cliche, but this book has really opened up the guitar as well as made the scales much more applicable and understandable. Forcing you to use the arpeggios allows you to find notes of the progression within the scale and transform your solo from noodling to solid harmony. While this book isn't the magic bullet that will solve all of your problems most people here have, correctly, identified that this is the critical step from intermediate into advanced player. If you spend the time with this book and literally think about it during your free time to conceptualize and internalize the information, it breaks down most of the barriers in your playing. After this book, many things will make more sense and suddenly lick books, your favorite songs and other additional teachings will mean much more to you. For this reason, I am happy to have read and practiced the teachings of this book and recommend it highly. ## Frequently Bought Together - Guitar Fretboard Workbook - Music Theory for Guitarists Book/Online Audio (Hal Leonard Guitar Method) - Guitar Chord Book with 94 Tracks - Guitar Learning Book with Step-by-Step Lessons - Easy-to-Read Guitar Scales Book - Guitar Aerobics: A 52-Week, One-lick-per-day Workout Program for Developing, Improving and Maintaining Guitar Technique Bk/online audio --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/3663062-guitar-fretboard-workbook](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/3663062-guitar-fretboard-workbook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
