Do you also think this is just some empty promises?
I don't really get what the software is for, but afais, you only learn to remember where each note on the fretboard is. I don't really get how they can promise to become a 'genius' guitar player in less than 60 minutes, because (in my opinion) that's theoretically and above all theortically impossible.

everybody's saying how he's a dumbass, but think of all the people that actually bought it, and not this elite group here that were smart enough to know it's bullshit. he's probably nice and cozy now from all the dumbasses that bought it.
To get it for free try limewire...
I downloaded it and have read thru it fast.
I don't see anything that deserves the very angry comments here - well, except maybe for his overselling the concept to an insane degree on his website.
Basicly, it's just a simple little mnemo-technique that could probably work fine.
Will it make u into a new Brian May? Of course not, silly u! But as I can immediately judge it, it's a fair attempt to give a technique that may work.
i can now play like brian may after buying fret2fret. all of my friends say i am the best they've ever heard. i am not related to mike slaiter
hey Paul, thanks for trying to stick up for me and my product, but why do you claim not to be related to me anymore??? Don't you have the guts to tell them you're my brother-in-law? Or did something happen between you and Sally?
Call me after work, okay?
Hey peeps.im from trinidad in d caribbean,i mean of $30US thats $180. in my country.this is a waste,but it did help me a bit.this program should be free!!!
lol this is such a rip off, i was sooo into it at first, i was thinking "amazing, how can i possible lose" then i wanted to see if i could get it for free, and no web site has ever heard of it then i typed it in google and found this fourm, thx god i didnt buy it

It is true, he is a con-artist and the 'software' is only a 5 page flash player that tells you to remember an actors name for each note. D is Danny Devito, A is Arnold Swartzenneger. So remember he says, Arnold is holding Danny Devito up by the legs.... (A is next to D, strings are tuned to a fourth, Duh.)
ANd that's the end. His little dumbass 'story' to help you locate a note. And the bonus software are all free apps from other sites.
While this might help you remember where a D is in relation to an A, that's not the stumbling point when trying to master guitar, and it doesn't make you a guitar player, any more than being able to find a C and an F makes you play the piano real well. He doesn't allow for the third tuning between the G and B strings, either. And how expressively are you going to play if you are always thinking of - duh - danny devito and Cher...?
Knowing where the notes are has nothing to do with guitar solo-ing, unless you are trying to play off of sheet music, and that is not guitar playing in the sense that we know it, in the sense that will impress anyone... in a nutshell the software is not software, it is a flash player, it could have been a PDF or a text document. It is not very good. And it does not improve any aspect of playing. You can only find a note on the fretboard if you already know where another note is.
You want to know the big problem? Advanced guitarist he is NOT. And he is trying to sit by the beach and get rich by ripping off real guitarists.
Look at www.claws2paws.com
same mugshot of Mike Slaiter but here he is a cat lover. Same page layout, different text, another ripoff.
He doesn't seem to care about anyone, he just changes the text and targets a different group. Even the website names are almost the same. How many of these sites do you suppose he has? Hope he gets what he deserves. You know that's something real bad.
And Hank.. you say you downloaded it and don't see that it deserves the angry comments. Tell me, did you PAY for it? If you did, you'd be angry. Guitar Case Closed.
Followup: disputed the transaction with paypal and got a refund.
Apparantly cat-lover/advanced guitarist slaiter doesn't even respond to paypals dispute e-mails, as he is making quite enough. And if you all are looking for a piece of software that really DOES teach you the fretboard, I discovered "Absolute Fretboard Trainer".
http://www.absolutefretboard.com/
Which actually is an interactive program that gives you drills and measures your progress.
PEACE
this is bull shit
Ok guys, here is the link, copy and paste this to the address bar. Once you are there go to the 2nd result page at the bottum and click guitar.exe or bass.exe. Thats the software, a flash. Some of you might say it helps. But if you payed for that $30 stuff, you would be very mad. Did anyone buy this? If you did, did you get all those free gifts that are supposed to be worth $300?
oops i forgot to put the link
here it is.

can we please stop posting in this legendary thread? or at least sage when you post? there's nothing new that can possibly be added here. the internet thanks you.
>>216
They are all coming from google.
They have no clue what is going on.
4-ch is for idiots.
there's one now
Google have been notified.
Can we please permasage this thread?
This fret2fret program is total bullshit....
the last graphic is useful but the method is so CRAP !!!
i'd rather spend a million hours on my guitar
go do that, then, and while you're at it quick fucking bumping noobs.
>>223
Ok! ...(strum)(strum)(strum)
Well I just reviewed the software, and yes for me it's a BIG stretch to learn in 60 mins, or in 1 day for that matter. Like others have said, it's just a memory concept ... that can be applied to other things in life, but for me ... not worth $30. Glad I did have to purchase it. Scam??? yes and no, depends on if you think you can actually apply this concept without going stir crazy. I have been playing guitar for 20 yrs, and this is not much help for me. Easiest way to get it is, P2P software.
>>225
dude, if you've been playing for 20 years and don't know the fretboard inside out and backwards, give up now. no software is gonna help you.
SO I tried the fucking thing, and guess what! I think I'm riped off! Damn it! this sucks! I knew this was a bad Idea, I love the guitar and I first believed it but I was like naahh I can learn it slowly cause thats fair, but then I wanted to learn to play the guitar faster and faster, so u know that paypall regestresion they have. Well Its bull! It asks u to write information and then it doesnt ask u to write a password and after u give em your info it leads u to a page where you have to write your user name AND pasword but they dont even ask you for the password or email it to you!!! Fuck! THis shit sucks! I'm ashamed of my self know.
On "Japan Video Topics", the long running series of videos produced by Japan's Ministry of Foriegn Affairs to promote tourism, the inventor of Yamaha's EZ-AG Guitar (no strings, light up frets) said that when he was learning to play the guitar, he was "having great difficulty learning chords". That's why he created the EZ-AG.
I just thought it was funny that he found it easier to create a hi-tech guitar, than memorizing guitar chords.
Only as funny as you people finding it easier to bump the thread than to let it die the death it should've died months ago?
thanks everyone for venting on this. i would have spent money on what would have been a piece of crap. special thanks to "hellawaits" for adding in the website that just shows you the notes and where they are located on the guitar. some people like myself are self teaching and just need something to look at and learn. one question is there any advice that any of you can give for finger techniques to help with eye-hand coordination. any help much obliged. just started 1 week ago and would like some advice from you experienced folk. thanks
Check out this instead of fret2fret, it's much cheaper and much better. Go to http://fretmasters.com to see what I mean.

You can still use my cool software WITHOUT donating though!
sorry... link is http://www.tabguitarlessons.com
Type in fret2fret on limewire and you got it!
I got it, and saved myself 30$.
http://www.fret2fret.com/fret2fret.pdf
this is probably the whole method :)
this isnt software dont download this shit.limewire,programs get it for free and have a laugh.
Most people would know all the notes on a piano within an hour. But they would still have no idea how to play the very simplest tune. Same with the guitar. Knowing where the notes are is a basic reference, and little more.
ive been playing guitar since i was 10 and i turn 19 in a little over a week, its something i take very seriously and enjoy, you cant teach someone how to play guitar by showing them where the notes on on a fret board, if guitar was that easy and if youre like 60 something maybe you could of told kirt cobain the secert to guitar because i think he sucked and im tired of people telling me how god he was, one more nirvana song i might shot my self in the head
>>239
go do so please.
is there a version to mac? for this fret2fret? kuz i wana tryit for free but i dunno if i can find any program for mac.
Yes there is, it's just a flash program.
Well.... If you want to know for sure, and this should end this whole thread...
fret2fret.com
claws2paws.com
Ya... That's all you need to see, and you tell me whether or not he's the "Advanced Guitarist, Instructor, and Celebrated Inventor" that he claims to be...
Basically all he's done is found something to sell, and know he's selling it. Regardless of that fact, it's $28.95 or whatever for a memory tool... Okay, maybe the guy doesn't know F-All about the guitar, but maybe this 'tool' that he has 'discovered' can help... And if not... Maybe you're cat's diet isn't good for it... LoL... Check out the sites if you didn't get that reference...
Ciao,

What if I told you all that I could teach you the entire fretboard in 5 minutes? If you know your ABC's it's not so hard.
it's bloggs like these that make blogging socially acceptable
As a pro guitarist, I have been playing the guitar not for 45 minutes, but for about 45 years now, and I still do not consider myself a genius guitar player. Am I a dumb asshole ? Or am I right in suggesting that fine guitar playing comes with lots of talent plus many many years of never ending learning and training, and NOT with just spending thirty bucks and one hour of memorising the fretboard.
This is not a blog. Blogs are soap boxes where some guy gets up and holds speeches, and others cheer him on. 4-ch is:
> 4-ch is a website for anonymous discussion, allowing people to talk about a variety of subjects.

the method vali but his advertising is misleading you obviously have to make an effort
Well i don´t bealive in fret to fret but bealive in this one
www.ruiluis.com/Fret2note/index.html i download their demo and this really helps learning the fretboard, but not only you also train your ear capabilities!
awsome
>>12 Here is the download site. Try it for yourself. http://www.fret2fret.com/download1.html
WTF!!!! I actually believed this jerk ass! he deserve to be smited down, what a whore.. -_-
what about www.ruiluis.com/Fret2note/index.html anybody tyed it yet? free to download and try!
Fair play to the guy for doing this...although if any of you are intrested, heres a link to his entire picture folder (this does include other scams of his along with drugs).
Link:- http://www.fret2fret.com/images/
(yea, simple html I know =D).
Also, if your intrested again, he does infact have an e-bay account which still works (to my limited knowledge).
UsrID:- mslaiter
...Also on a side note, arresting him would be fairly easy, grab ahold of his I.P from e-bay and boom, I can put you in his street, you'll have to find his house.

If you're interested in software that can teach you to master the guitar in less than 60 minutes, I have something you'll really love: Magic Beans!
Hurry, though. A major bean grower is offering me so much for them, they may not be available much longer!!!

FretMasters!
this thread is so old, it should have a pension. Oh and fret2fret just rocks so so utterly. I've recently died and fret2fret told me how to play the mandolin, despite the fact I have no fingers anymore. It also told me how to type using my toungue, which explains why you're stuck reading this shit. Ha!
this guy has made nearly $US150 000 on ebay..
so i guess it cant be that bad..
pitty for him i downloaded it without paying haha
You're suggesting profit is a good indicator of quality?
lmfao this guy just got sued for fraud lmfao what a retard
Oooh,i was just wonderin' if any of ;p u guys could (pretty please) tell me a link or explain me how this "Greek memorising technique" works ^_^
Oooh,i was just wonderin' if any of ;p u guys could (pretty please) tell me a link or explain me how this "Greek memorising technique" works ^_^
...sorry 'bout the repeating didn't i push it twice... '-'
You times that frequency by a factor of ten!?
posting again in a legendary thread!
a violin doesn't have frets, unless you're in fourth grade and your teacher sticks those little tapes on the fingerboard...
yeah, violin: not for wimps.
viola, on the other hand?...
Yea, i guess u're right but... what is the trick?! :]
I was trying to say i'm sorry about the "threading" and what
frequncy by factor of ten?!
Btw i'm allmost fourteen so get lost 77
I just got the new fre2fret system... wow... amazing...
It taught me everything i needed to know. The notes, that is. Now i can solo like Jimmi Hendrix.
Only problem is, i dont know what any of the notes sound like. I dont know any scales. Infact, i dont even know how to pick properly! But thanks for taking my $30 and bathing in caviar.
GREAT ONE MIKE!
CANT WAIT TO TRY THE NEW a2b2c system.
Taught me my ABC in no time. 30 pages of powerpoint about
A * B * C.
xD
the page in fret2fret actually makes you want to buy it, i dont think it works, in 60 minutes?...right
does it work btw?
I tried this horrible product. I got free tabs, and that was cool. But don't waste your time if you plan to memorize the fretboard it's just a numonic.
www.fretboardwarrior.com
Now, thats where it's at.
And it's completly free.
This is an idiotic thing to buy learning every fretboard by memory doesn't mean everything you also need to play the chords correctly which is an whole other thing, also learn to strum well learn bout scales you cannot play like a 'proffesional' in 60 mins if you gonna buy this shit learn scales,picking and strumming technique this is fuckn no good if you dont have scales whoever made this should be shot and i didnt buy this peice of crap as you can download it for free easily from the same site he gives you it from the dumbshit.
THIS SOFTWARE IS A FUCKING CRAP!!!!
I can even imagine this guy promoting this like he did in that webpage, while laughing out loud...
What a person like this does is taking the guitar as a stupid instrument, which could be perfectly handled in an hour... unbelievable!
Im 15 yr old, and i've been whith the guitar since 13, and i can assure u that with a little effort, u can memorize a lot of notes in a short time, dependingyour dedication... My god, furthermore, the only thing he shows you is the notes on the fifth fret... AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT WHILE TUNING YOUR GUITAR??? In addition, as some of u said, it's very clear that remembering notes by hearth doesn't mean being a pro, or something like that, u should learn scales, chords, etc... By the way, i didn't buy this, obviously... By putting "fret2fret" on a p2p client, you should manage well to have it for free...
Sorry 4 my english, i'm from argentina :S
I can't believe I wasted two hours reading this thread.
The good thing is this fret2fret thing actually made me gain interest on my guitar again. Not such a bad thing afterall, I guess.
Oh and BTW >>275 wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Sure Mike is a genius.
bahahahahahaha, this guy has an ebay account where he has reviews of his product, actually read the damn review, somehow, magically all 2000 people or whatever the hell the number was happened to use the words "A+++" and "great" and "ebayer". And not just half of them or most of them, ALL OF THEM.
well fret2fret is great!!! ... so fking great that the dl page dsnt have ne scurity system ... dude that guy sure is a retard!!! ... just 2 fuking flash tuts each 1.5mb ??? and 1.5mb makes u a pro gp :S and a pro bp :S!!! ... SO STEVE HARRIS EAT MY SHORTS COZ I CAN PLAY BETTER THAN U NOW AND JUST IN 40 MINS!!! ... what a bunch of crap ... dl from free u fuking crap buyers!!!
"The possibilities of this technique are endless. You can remember long solo's for instance, just by creating small stories using the characters". JUST A BUNCH OF CRAP IDIOTINC MORONIC STORIES WILL MAKE U PLAY BETTER THAN NE GUY WHO HAS SPEND 30 YEARS WITH THE BASS! ... what a retard ... u can remember long solo's .... :S yeah u can remember but can u play them at high speed? moron!
Deepaul what do you mean p2p, sorry to sound stupid. i've been playim for a few years and just wonder is this crap and if there is a chance of gettin it free how, because i'm shit with computers
p2p is peer to peer. like limewire
The End.......
