Found this interesting game on Internet. A game that helps yuo memorize the fretboard while you are having fun.

It's only for guitar right now. But I think it can be useful anyway. I am waiting for a bass version.

It may not be fun, but there is already a version for bass over on basstabs.net right here:

Here is something similar. CHECK IT OUT (http://courses.wcupa.edu/frichmon/usetech/musicalflashcards/bcnotes.html)

Thanks for the link (reading).

Geoff,

That link is great. I've got the fretboard nailed, but am getting ready to work on learning to sight read. Nice! Thanks!

Good stuff. Anyone see a 5 or 6 string trainer around ?

It would be cool to combine the two, perhaps read the note off the staff and click it on the fretboard.

Aloha,

Jonathan

I have found it to be very beneficial.

If you play guitar, you will like the Chord Warrior version.

:D

You will be happy to know tah the bass version is available.
Whooooooooooo

http://www.fretboardwarrior.com/

wait do you have to BUY the bass version
or am i just a complete moron?
(please forgive me if i am just being stupid, iam in school right now)

grr...
stupid school security thing wont even let me download the thing anyway... :mad:
i guess it will have to wait until i get home

Yeah. You have to buy it.
I did. It's 15$.

hmm
dont think its worth me buying (translation: i dont have a credit card to pay for it)

i shall set to work making my own...
i know enough basic computer programming stuff that i may be able to pull it off...

in fact i think i shall do it now...
will make a program for learning notes on the fretboard to bass clef and i will post it for all of you to use. AND IT WILL BE FREE! AHAHAHA



but you will all be eternally indebted to me... bwah hahahaha

sorry...
ill go sedate myself.

no seriously if i can get something to work by making my own i will most definitly post it in a forum for everyone to download.

By the time you copy a good idea, I will learn the fretboard and respect the author.

;)

AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
:eek:
No, I don't know what is wrong with me!





sorry about that :(

Thanks, Geoff! That is a valuable tool that I am putting in my Favorites.:)

No problem, buddy!

Why would I want to pay $15.00 for something on the computer that I've got to be at my computer to use, when I could be spending that time playing the notes and learning the bass clef on my axe? Wait, then I could do it at work. Allright!!!!

Thankx

Randumb, I did not find a mac version.
Does it work for the mac?

Off to GI...

Thanks for the links guys. I'm finding these to be very helpful.

And while I could just be learning the notes while playing, there's just something about the interactivity aspect that seems to make me learn faster rather than having to have a printout next to me while I play. It's like how flashcards are so successful. You don't have to spend as much time thinking looking up the answer.

In fact, I was thinking of just making flashcards of various chords and keys that I have problems remembering so that way they get more solidified in my head, and I won't have to think about them as much.

I think the next step after learning the fretboard and clef is ear training, don't you think?

You are right. A good ear treaning exercise is to sign the notes that you play. Siging "connects" the ear and the bass.

I learned the fretboard by making and using this, simple little thing.
