Questions
How are scale boxes different from chord boxes?
They look the same but show a group of scale notes you play one at a time, often two or three per string, instead of notes held together.
How do I print it at the right size?
Open the PDF and print at 100% or "Actual size", not "Fit to page", so the lines and boxes keep their spacing. It is designed for US Letter and also prints fine on A4.
Is this printable really free?
Yes. Enter your first name and email once and every Fretwork printable unlocks on your device. There is nothing to pay and no card needed.
