To provide a useful and constructive learning environment, a variety of multimedia instructional platforms, which include the use of charts, picture files, sound files, video clips, podcasts and more are utilized to make your training experience an interactive one. Various genres are taught on this site ranging from blues, bluegrass, jazz, classical to standards and popular music. At FretMentor, we understand that all students have different interests and we try to structure lesson plans that meet your needs. If you are a parent looking for a guitar site for your child, FretMentor also offers course materials specifically designed for children ages 5 to 16. Please take the time to visit the Guitar For Children section in our Guitar Studio. FretMentor offers a little bit for players of various levels. For the guitar player, you may wish to explore fingerstyle, flat-picking, comping or various lead or rhythm techniques. If you are a five-string banjo player your interests may vary from three-finger picking in Scruggs, Melodic and Reno styles. As a mandolin player, your exploration of the instrument may include cross-picking, using drone strings, tremolo or incorporating chops into your back-up. To make your practicing time even more productive, you may enter the Rehearsal Studio, where you can play along with slow and fast audio files which are used to supplement many of the tunes that you will learn how to play. Most importantly, your training will include learning the instrument in relation to music theory concepts. Not only will you learn the theory, but you will be taught how to utilize theoretical concepts to develop melody lines, enhance your knowledge of chord structure and improvise while playing individually and while performing with others. Thank you for visiting. We hope that you will come back for more, as this site is just in its infancy of development. More lesson plans, content and general information will be added soon. So keep checking in and have fun picking along with us. Sincerely, Dave Jakubiak Fret Mentor
