If you are finally ready to learn the fretboard, this is it.

Marc does a great job walking you through the fretboard and slowly piecing it all together. You will need to practice but it's worth it when you can jam with others and yourself with ease.

Excellent Course

I have read many books and watched videos but Marc's course has helped me the most in gaining a solid foundation in my understanding of the fretboard. The material is well presented and the workbook was particularly helpful.

Best Course for Fretboard Learning

I have watched many on-line videos and read many books about learning the fretboard but none have helped me as much as The Efficient Guitarist in gaining a solid understanding and feel for the fretboard. It has definitely helped in my guitar learning journey.
