Getting Started with the Flashcard Tool

Geting Started with the Flashcard Tool

This sightreading tool will help you learn how to read notes on the guitar.  I developed it out of pure necessity  after years of struggling with guitar note reading.  I was able read guitar notes up to the fifth fret just fine, but no higher.  Pieces that had notes higher up the fingerboard took hours of decoding...no fun. So one day I had enough ,  and after some months of programming this tool was the result.

The tool is reminiscent of a real-live flashcard but with a lots guitar-smarts built in.  It lets you specify the area of the fingerboard you wish to practice and has many other features.
