Fretboard Warrior is designed to teach guitarists all the notes on the fretboard.
They way it works is you open up the program and you pick how long you want to do it for. I usually do 1 minute (not sure why). Then it brings you to a picture of a guitar neck and a dot shows up on a certain note. You have to select what note it is. Then it repeats.
The goal is to get as many notes right in the set time frame.
The idea of how it teaches you is that it comes across as a sort of memory game where the more you play the more you learn. Some people don’t recognize the importance of memorizing your fretboard. I suppose if you just want to play open chords forever it doesn’t matter but to be any type of lead guitarist it’s really helpful.
Fretboard Warrior is also available for PC and Macintosh. This review is on the Lite iPod version. There is a paid version but I’m not quite sure between the differences.
