On the surface, fretboard wizard is a very basic course on scales, chord theory, and the CAGED mnemonic/paradigm. Valuable, but similar to other platform’s “CAGED” courses. I finished my first pass, and it was good, but I questioned whether it was worth it. I’m not questioning that any more, though. In the couple weeks since, I’ve noticed some other things falling into place. Tony gives you a few tools that have the potential to unlock whole other levels of understanding here: mostly, the ear training lessons. There is one on using major scale shapes to find the key of a song, one on finding chord progressions, and one on finding the melody of a song. These are not easy, and you won’t nail them on the first pass, but along with the so-called chord matrix, there is a box of tools here to tear apart any song, melody, or tune without tab and break it down into our five pieces. I did not “do well” on these lessons (I.e. I didn’t get the example questions right on the first try) but I have been able to figure out lead lines in 3 different songs I love just by following Tony’s procedures. I’ll be making my second pass on fretboard wizard in a couple weeks and I anticipate getting even more out of it.
