K, Thanks for saying my website is Au! :-) I’m a science teacher by day, and I’ve actually got a shirt that has most of the letters from Fretboard Toolbox s as elements- Fr, Tb, O, Ar, etc., and then says “Fretboard Toolboxes are Periodic Tables of the Musical Elements”. :-) Here’s the difference between the E-Book options: www.fretboard-toolbox.com/ebooks-vs-print-editions.html You can also go to “Pick Your Instrument” and then click “Look Inside” for any of my books and you’ll download over 1/4 of the book for free, including all the instructions and the Key of G Major pages. Happy playing, Scott
Hi do you have a book for the 5-string mandolin, where it runs up in fifth from C? I'm having trouble getting on your website from France, can you send a link?
Hi. I tried to go to your website but Firefox and Safari warned me it is not secure and advised not to proceed. I really wanted to go but not sure what to do. Help please.
Hi Vaughan, I haven’t been able to recreate your issue, but I’ve haven’t had anyone else report the same issue. Feel free to contact me at this Lino and we’ll troubleshoot. :-) www.fretboard-toolbox.com/contact-scott.html Happy playing! Scott
What am I missing? Your chart shows me what finger to use but where is it telling me which string that finger is picking. Frustrated as I see you have shared a lot of info but I’m having trouble getting it.
Hi Ronni! Since I’m just improvising the notes, there’s no exact pattern. I want people to experiment. 👍 For help getting started though, use the gear icon on RUclips to slow the speed down on a pattern I played where you like the sound, and then see which strings I’m playing. If that doesn’t help, contact me at my website and we’ll get in touch! www.fretboard-toolbox.com > CONTACT Happy playing! Scott
@@FretboardToolbox oh my how wonderful to get such a prompt response. Thank you very much. Us tenor guitar players don’t have as much info to choose from so thank you for what you have provided us.

I just bought a BR43 (6 String). I’m SO impressed by the value of the Blueridge brand. Beautiful sound, appearance and action … I compared it to my Martin and wonder why I ever paid that much. 🎶 MikeInMinnesota
A video SPECIFICALLY about tenor guitar that I don't have to adapt from guitar or mandolin? Incredible

Yep! Here’s a video using the Baritone Ukulele… ruclips.net/video/6g0GsOwcbAo/видео.htmlsi=Cte9tPFOt-DGFX6_
Any chance you could do picking patterns in 3/4? Love your stuff!
I’ve thought about that too, Heather. I’ll see if I can come up with something this summer. :-)

Do you ever tune G D G D? Or use a slide?
Not yet, but I definitely need to mess around with that. :-)
