These tools have opened up so many possibilities for me. I was locked into one area of the neck and static. I use the static decoder every time I pick up the guitar. It helps me navigate the pentatonic positions and helps to refresh my old brain cells. I tend to forget stuff over time so I run through a key to reinforce the positions. These two tools are all you need to significantly improve your playing.

Absolutely incredible tool. This showed me the fretboard in a way that made it possible to start seeing how everything is connected. Big help in learning the triads.
