Axe Tape is a vinyl fretboard decal made with a state-of-the-art low-tack adhesive for easy removal. It won't damage the neck of your acoustic guitar. It can be removed once you have memorized the fretboard.
Axe Tape is your guide to ROOT NOTES , the building blocks of all chords and scales. It's a practical tool that helps you locate these foundational notes on the fretboard. For instance, in a C chord, the C note is the first to be played. The same goes for other chords like E, F, G, B, D, and A. With Axe Tape, you'll master these root notes with ease.
In the realm of music, notes are represented by the first seven letters of the alphabet: A,B,C,D,E,F, G. These are known as Natural notes. The notes in-between, represented by '#' for Sharps and 'b' for Flats, are called Accidentals. Axe Tape provides clear references for these notes on the 5th and 6th strings, enhancing your understanding of music theory.
When applying AxeTape, you can see the pattern for the 5th and 6th strings. They just follow the alphabet and repeat. 6th string = E,F,G,A,B,C,D. 5th string = A,B,C,D,E,F,G. The notes between are either Sharps or Flats. A Flat is lower, the Sharp is higher. So the 6th string looks like this: E, F, F#/Gb, G, G#/Ab, A, A#/Bb, B, C, C#/D, D, D#/Eb, E.
If this sounds and looks confusing, once you apply AxeTape™, it will begin to make sense.
Here's an example of the first four frets. Use your index finger to play the note.
