Timing for Starting Fretboard Wizard
I added the Fretboard Wizard to my enrollment. Should I try to do that during the 30 Days To Play program or should I hold off until I finish?

That’s up to you but FW is lifetime so that might influence your decision. But you can also convert membership to lifetime any time before the year ends without losing your investment.

Thanks!

Hi Barbara, if you are new to guitar like never picked up a guitar before, I would suggest waiting a bit to begin taking Fret Board Wizard (FBW). I would suggest giving it a little bit of time for you to get settled in and understanding the guitar and terminology and at the beginning you’re so focused on trying to simply make chords and strumming, picking, etc. But that is just a suggestion. I did not know anything about guitars when I first started and I don’t think I could’ve understood some of what was being taught, or I understood it when I took it, but I didn’t know how it applied actually. I was more a book knowledge type thing. It took me quite a while for things to all of a sudden click and for me to have those aha moments and really understand the theory of the fretboard. I actually enjoy learning about the theory. What’s great about FBW is you own it for life, as @petelanger said. We can go through it as many times as you like in fact most people I won’t say many people go through it at least once a year you pick up something different each time..
That being said, FBW will open up a lot of doors in your playing as well as just understanding guitar theory. You’ll pick up quite a bit of information from it. I found that it took time for it to suddenly click in my head. I don’t remember if it was six months down the road or a year, but all of a sudden I started having these aha moments or what I call moments of clarity and things just fell into place with my understanding.

Loraine— great post, right there!
Barbara— Take a few minutes and re-read Loraine’s post. Maybe more than once. Follow her advice and suggestions. Ease into the FBW program at first if you are relatively new to guitar and/or music in general. The knowledge inside FBW isn’t just specifically for guitar. It is broader than that. It’s a great program and a good guitar-investment. In my opinion, it will make you a better guitar player……. because you will be a better “guitar-thinker“.
