Fantastic learning tools. Tried to scan some into my computer last week the swine scanner wont send em some problems with drivers. Looked at the brother website and followed it to the letter. Still won't install them. Grr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weekend, I discovered that the tone of the fifth to 10th frets had more "presence" than the first five frets. So, I will be using your chart to remind me where the notes are, as I navigate the new zone. I was also reminded why a 5 string feels logical to me - those three diagonal C notes on the first to 5th frets feels like "home", to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the colours to see patterns, but it can get too colourful to the point it is just a mess. I tried colours that I could mentally isolate easily, but didn't really spend much time with that and given the wide range of perception of colours (in particular reds and greens in males), others might prefer other colours. They're easy to modify on the PDF version, or use them to highlight particular scales... I find the 5 string more intuitive, and easier to find the notes I want. The fact that you have 2 octaves across the fretboard in the space of 5 frets is so... liberating! I look at the fretboard a lot less with 5 string basses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
