So how many of you are masters of the fretboard? How did you learn it? I hear that alot of the self taught never bother to learn the entire fretboard.

A little pricy, but worth every penny. One of my friends is going off to LA Music Academy to study guitar, and he worked with this program for several months. The difference was night and day! I'm slowly working through it myself, but I don't have as much time to devote to it. The guy who wrote the program has a very organized method of learning the fretboard, breaking it down into various boxes and whatnot (haven't gotten through all of it yet). They have a free trial, so you may want to check it out.
The hardest parts about it (as are with any method) are:Shakuan said:That program looks very nice. I'm seriously thinking about buying it. Been playing for 5 years and I'm not where I'd like to be... If that thing gives me control of the fretboard in 3 months... I'll be a happy musician.
I hadn't played Fret Warrior in a while. When I say "Played", it's because it's done as a graphical game -- naming the notes on the fretboard against a clock. IMO, it's really good -- and it's FREE!
