Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A guitar instruction book on fretboard patterns and scale shapes. For players who can already fret chords but get lost past the fifth position.

- Guitarists who know open chords but freeze soloing
- Self-taught players wanting to connect scale shapes across the neck
- Practice between lessons or without a teacher
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Absolute beginners who cannot yet fret a clean chord
- Players wanting song-by-song tab of specific tracks
- Anyone who wants video instruction over printed diagrams
What matters in use

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read sheet music?
No. The material works from fretboard diagrams and tab, so standard notation reading is not required to follow the patterns.
02Is this for beginners?
Not for day-one beginners. You should be able to fret chords and change between them before the position work makes sense.
03Does it cover bass guitar?
This edition is written for guitar. The shapes are based on six-string tuning.
04Does it include an audio or backing track?
Buy it as a printed method book. Anything beyond the book itself is not part of this listing.
