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.

It's good to know the notes on the fretboard, but it won't do you any good without a little knowledge of basic theory. I'd suggest working on that, as well as just simply learning songs. Remember to have fun or what's the point?

I bought this softwtare from Mr Mike Slaiter. Do not make the mistake of buying this software... it's RUBBISH !!. Learning the the BASS takes time and effort. this 60 minute genius is a complete LIE.
All it is, is some stupid made up story to remember the notes on the fret. WHy go through learning the story when you can remember the 7 notes which is fewer than the a 3 or 4 para story. He doesn't tell you how to apply what you have memorised.. THis is his promise or sales pitch... "You will be a music genius if you memorise 7 notes on the fret board" ??? cheap rubbish !!
You best put the money towards something like bassguitarsecrets.com. MR Slaiter is a 1st class lier I have ever come accross. I have aksed for a refund and has not done so. DO NOT GO NEAR THIS SOFTWARE or listen to or read what ever he says .. you have been warned!!.

You know, I just found this thread. What a bunch loosers you are play hatin' someone with an idea simply because you don't agree or don't believe is possible. Sensing a bit of jealousy.

I'm a self-taught musician (mainly piano but I play guitar also). I also taught music theory for many years but I no longer have the time. And I didn't teach crap like probably many of you, I taught college level shit.

But here are my two cents on this. You cannot expect a piece of software or even the best of music teachers to make you a master musician, that's impossible because it all depends on you, how perceptive or dumb you are.

So I can undertand that he's stretching it a bit when he says you'll learn in 60 minutes. But give him a break (even though he's kind of dumb, lol), anything that can teach you the fretboard in a short amount of time even if it takes 6 months when compared to 6 years is worth it, regardless of how lame it looks.

In fact, I'm gonna buy it, just for the hell of it. Ya'll just playa hatin 'cause u didn't think of it first, that's all. So put your efforts in learning something instead of being all jealous and shit.

Peace!!

how can this guy have a passion for cats and guitar at the same time? anyone who's seen the viagra commercial knows there's only room in life for one great passion! (unless you take viagra of course)
I'm glad I found this site... I was actually gonna buy it until I decided to google it first and came across this place. I knew it was too good to be true. seriously, a flash application? it's probably more worth it to learn guitar the hard way.

You have to go through the frustration of horrible sounding chords and breaking tons of strings like everyone else.

I once broke a G-String while fingering Aminor.

i was thinking about buying it, but then i googled it and found this which led me to just getting it from limewire... it wasnt even worth my time let alone 30 bucks.. his "technieque" is not secret or an invention of his own. it is nothing but using the first letter (or note in this case)to form a story. i used this in grade school before i even played guitar for the order of classifying animals (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species)<- King Phill Cooked Oatmeal For Great Servants. its just that simple

WTF? It's all bullshit! I downloaded the bass one (though I play guitar) and this program is just stupid. Wanna learn the notes?? Go to Guitar Noise -> http://www.guitarnoise.com/article.php?id=557 and practice that lesson (practice, bitch, practice!).

That's it. Now you've learned the two lower strings AND 5th chords (and some very well known songs). Now you can play half off all punk rock that was ever written. Follow with http://www.guitarnoise.com/article.php?id=584 to learn palm muting.

What about the other notes? Easy, dog! You're just starting. Check out the excellent FREE lessons by Dan Cross at http://guitar.about.com/library/blguitarlessonarchive.htm or David Hodge at http://www.guitarnoise.com/lessons.php

BTW, the strings are: (E)very (A)dult (D)og (G)rowls (B)arks (E)ats, from lowest to highest.

And it never hurts to get a real teacher.

i was looking for the software of course for free and tried it.....it took me less than an hour to learn the fretboard....but im also pretty sure that it si impossible to master the guitar in that amount of time.

Fret2fret sucks. There is no simple way of learning guitar and what it teaches is kids stuff. If you want to learn good guitar then its very painfull. ANyway here's the download page to that shit page. The only thing i found good was the tab collection for Guitar pro in the bonus page

I am probably going to try this software, it is cheap and if I get something out of it that helps, all well and good. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
You all seem to spend a lot of time writing offensive messages about the guy and his product. I have emailed him and he replied immediately, and his address is on the website. Plus he said he would send me an invoice.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. In fact, judging by the quality of the spelling in your posts, you might be better spending your €30 on having some English lessons.
Grow up for heaven's sake.

Dear Mike,

Thank you for your comprehension,

PS. I don't see why people exchanging opinion on a music discussion makes you so angry. I mean, sure, a pack of music-inclined people giving strong negative opinions on a software that's so cleverly advertised must be haters. Yeah right.

367 Name: Yann : 2008-09-02 14:02 ID:oQgycJlH

You lot are all so paranoid. 366 you actually think that I am Mike. I'd give you my personal email address to prove who I am, but why do I need to waste time communicating with a bunch of retards?
I am not Mike, I am Yann, as it says clearly at the beginning of my post. I am not angry, why would I be? I just see a load of abusive, semi-literate posts written by a bunch of foul mouthed people, who, by the way, are all hell bent on downloading the programme files for free.

Just in case there is any confusion amongst you brain boxes, THAT IS CALLED STEALING! Even if the programme is crap, it is still stealing.

I guess you people all download free music and free movies as well, right?

Well you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I have friends who are talented musicians. Some of them I knew when they first started out with cheap instruments, playing in bars and small clubs, and no money, just ideas and talent and a dream. A dream that people like you want to steal!

One of them ended up joining 10cc and doing world tours with them, and also touring with Mike Oldfield. He made it. He realised his dream.

Now, people like you just steal the music on the internet.

That does make me angry.

If you think this fret2fret is rubbish don't buy it.
Simple as that.

But even if it is rubbish, and you steal it, you are just another common little criminal.

First of, downloading music and movies is legal in some countries. Also the program is nothing more than a 7 page introduction to the fretboard. For god's same, looking the same thing up on Wikipedia gives you the same ammount of information, without useless babble.
Also 28,000 tabs have a worth of $24.99, hahaha, oh wow, he didn't even make them himself, same probabaly goes for all other extras.
Any decent guitarist would be happy to teach the same thing for free.

I am >>366 and I am myself a musician multi-instrumentalist, and also a profesionnal graphist. I "play on crappy instruments", because I don't have a lot of money, and when I play it's in a friend's basement or in an open-scene bar. Thank you for your insight and prejudice on myself.

And when I see some scammer try to make artists who, as we have covered, don't have many money, pay for a crappy software using what I call "soapbox" advertisement, excuse me for pointing it out on a bulletin board dedicated to this. He does advertisement, no one blames him for that, huh?

>I have friends who are talented musicians. Some of them I knew when they first started out with cheap instruments, playing in bars and small clubs, and no money, just ideas and talent and a dream. A dream that people like you want to steal!

95% of my friends are talented musicians, and most of them agree that the music industry needs to die and download songs. They put theirs on Jamendo and websites like this. And they still have their dream and it's not corrupt. But I won't enter this debate with you. You seem to be happy with the situation as is.

Also, you can't looks like you can't take sarcasm, my good fellow Mike.
