Introducing the Swickster Fingerboard System

 

The Swickster Fingerboard is an innovative, new approach to learning and playing the guitar.  Finally, a guitar that makes it possible to visualize the white and black notes commonly seen on a piano keyboard.  Students can now learn to improvise like magic with no prior knowledge of music theory. 

Just pick up the guitar, select a backing track (found on this website), and play the white notes!  That's all there is to it!  Click the following link to witness a classroom of public high school beginning guitarists improvising using this method.  Notice EVERY student can do it!
