Fretboard Geek Cheat Sheets

Fretted Instruments are Great! With them we can learn patterns and move them around—change keys at will. Try that on a wind instrument! That’s the good news…the bad news is that we can get stuck in a rut relying solely on patterns. All of Fretboard Geek cheat sheets and posters contain tons of shapes, but also show what role the underlying notes play in those shapes.

Love this chords cheat sheet. It has every chord I could ever need with tons of variations and is printed clearly. The lamination is also thick and should last a long time.

This is a really fabulous all-in-one reference tool for learning, practice, improvising, and teaching. I've been a guitarist for 50+ years, and it wasn't until a few years ago that I became aware of the CAGED system and its applications. It was one of those "a-ha" moments, and it helped not only make more sense of the fretboard, it made my playing more fluid.

I'm not what you'd call a gifted guitar player, so any cheat sheet I can get to help me improve is always welcome. This chart is laminated - THICK and sturdy, so it's not going to fall apart with use. And it's small enough to be portable. I can take it with me wherever I'm practicing. Great cheat sheet!
