Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. It costs nothing and there is no card to enter. It is yours to keep: read it on screen, save it or print it.

Do I need to read music?

No. The runs are in tab and the scales are fretboard diagrams, with the roots and the blue notes marked.

Is it for beginners?

It is for players who know a first pentatonic box and want to move around the neck. If you are just starting, take the runs one bar at a time.

Is it for acoustic or electric?

Both. The shapes are the same on any guitar.
