Anyone who bought "The Fretboard Formula" Print the 416 pages of study guides?

Sign in to disble this ad
I bought "The Fretboard Formula" several months ago,...went through it once, and frankly, found the amount and the technicality of the included infomation to be a bit overwhelming,..so it's just been sitting on the shelf. To explain, I've not ever studied music theory, I was always succesful when I last played (back in the 60s) just playing by ear. I recently received an invitation to audition for a forming group and figured I had better at least brush up on where notes were on the neck and get some practice time in as well;....so I've been spending some time re-visiting it.....just the first DVD so far.

The program refers to the various study guides from time to time,....but I never bothered to print them out, (I bought the cheaper version with all the manuals on a CD in PDF format). Now that I have begun to watch it more in depth, I'm thinking the manuals would be a good thing to have available,....but sheez, there are 416 pages!!!! The Sections include: The Main study guide (286 pages), a booklet on "Arpeggio Visualization" (41 pages), a booklet on "Modal Mastery" (56 pages) and something the author calls "The Cheat Sheets" which appear to be a variety of diagrams (30 pages).

Im thinking if I try to print this that I toast my printer and/0r use a huge amount of ink and paper,...or.....if I pay someone like Kinkos to print it out, that I will have spent more than the cost of the program WITH the books.

Anyone tried printing their own or had someone like Kinkos print it out?

have it done at Kinkos, spiral bound two sided, black and white. I just did TMBG which was close to that many pages and it was around $25.
