Another vid in the series on improv that I've been doing of late. Can't beat a shuffle.

Twang, you're a genius. Why didn't I think of that!!!

No I just put them on their because my fret markers aren't visible from the front, the colours are meaningless. I probably wouldn't go there because I'd rather people use their ears than their eyes. It can be a battle sometimes though, the hard yards aren't always appreciated, I'll keep your idea in mind.

Like your fingerboard!!

Looks like colored dots right on the fret positions instead of in between drawn-on fret marks. I take it that with different colors for frets 3,5,7,9, and 12 you can learn to play the blues by color-match instead of always having to always say "fifth fret" etc.

Good teaching device. Do you make and sell 'em that way (or did you purchase from someone else)?

Wow, that's quick. It can take up to an extra week to get down here on the island but I'll let you know when it's here. Cheers.

Hey, Patrick.   Good lesson.   I seem to learn a small piece of the puzzle at a time.  I got a couple good pieces here.
