What is this garbage??

I don't have a problem because everyone learns things differently.

Tell that to a college professor

I've seen others that did this.........of course the were inlays not "stickers".

Now THAT is making a commitment!

AND..........he had more than one.

 

[Bass'd on a true story]

This is an excellent idea. I thought about making something like this for myself in the past.

this POS is almost as bad as those stupid hand strengtheners

Geesh, who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

I advocate any tool for learning how to play, I just hope folks have the goal of eventually taking off the crutch.

Exactly what I was thinking. If it helps people learn, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Lol I would of expected a trashy looking bass guitar. it appears to be stickers that tells what notes are on each fret.

Is that why your hands are so weak?

Nobody has to. They already know that.

Whatever. Some keyboards have a set of the keys notated too. Who really cares if it's not stuck on your fretboard

 

[Banjowiener]

It's a good idea for someone who is learning. There are much more fun things to get upset about. IMHO

It’s called scaffolding. That’s all it is.

 

[Deleted member 165050]

It's being lazy. Just learn the damn notes. It's not rocket science.IMHO anyway.

It’s common practice for absolute beginner violin students...

 

[Drgonzonm]

Do they have those for DB?

I suppose it's a learning tool until it's a crutch. It never seemed hard to learn which notes were where on the fingerboard without it, but YMMV.

I probably wouldn't show up for a gig with those on my bass though.

50 some years ago, I picked bass the first five frets were marked with 3M masking tape. The first few pages had each note marked with letter. At 9 weeks, the staff no longer had the notes with note values, but the bass still had the masking tape. (The bass for other classes had the second fourth and fifth marked. Bass players aren't the only players who can't read music. Just look up tabular for guitar, uke, mandolin, and bass.
Just to make my point, I knew a blind piano player who played pretty darn good, but didn't know g clef from f clef
Does any remember the teaching guitars that had leds at various fret positions?

Tell that to a college professor

met a college prof at CNM who had a PhD in Adult education. He had lots of different teaching techniques

One man's garbage is another man's gold.

The notes have names?????

I thought it was just red, red, blue, green, green, green,......yellow... ...yellow.......blue, blue, red!!!!!!

I wouldn’t get it. If you read the whole ad, it doesn’t include a metronome.

Start by remembering where the half-step naturals are:
B/C
E/F

...and use the fret stickers to remember faster!
