ABSTRACT:
An instructional device and method for illustrating note positions in combinations corresponding to chords formed on a musical instrument is provided. The device includes a display that defines a plurality of note positions along each of a plurality of lines. The note positions correspond to the positions along the strings of the instrument such as the fret positions along the strings of a guitar. A plurality of markers are disposed along each of the lines, and each marker is configured to adjust between the note positions along a respective one of the lines, i.e., to positions corresponding to each of the notes along the corresponding string of the instrument. The markers are structured to be adjusted to a first predetermined configuration in which indicia on the markers indicate a chordal relationship between the corresponding note positions, and relative to a select note.
