REAL TIME ONSCREEN FRETBOARD!

Just one of the many outstanding elements Roy Vogt's multiple award-winning TMBG is the one-of-a-kind animated fretboard. You'll always know exactly what notes Roy is playing, without his fingers getting in the way, and you'll know what notes they are! Like all the graphic elements of TMBG, they're top quality; no trying to decipher dubious handwriting scribbled on white boards, everything is crystal clear so you can spend your time learning, not guessing.
