Hi all!
I thought it'd be good to have a thread where new folks could just pop in and say Hi and maybe add a few words about themselves..
So, please take a few minutes and introduce yourself :D

Hi,
My name is Chris. I'm from a small town in NZ called Hokitika. I've been playing the guitar since I was 12 and now teach guitar for a living.
Hi everyone - I'm Marcus.
I use Neck Diagrams heaps with my guitar students.
Hi, I´m Javi from Valencia, Spain. This software helps me in my skill level. Hope this forum also do.
Hi. Craig from Huntingdon, UK. I teach guitar for a living and find Neck Diagrams invaluable.
Hi my name is Merkava and I am looking forward to a sharing experience with everyone. I'm an intermediate level guitarist.
Glad to join you all.
Hello My name is Jon. I am from Naperville, IL (Just outside Chicago). I use Neck Diagrams for illustrating chords, and scales for my students. Great product! I love it!
Thank you Jon,
My name is Shmuel.I use the product,now, for self advancement.Later,I hope to teach,if I make it to that. I'm happy to share ideas. I wrote Justin about a few things which I think would save us a lot of time.Like punching in all notes of any interval all over the fretboard at once instead of plugging them in individually etc.I love the program,and have made a few good diagrams of inverse chords.
To our success! Pleased to hear from you.
Shmuel.
Hi I'm Matt,
I hang out at Truefire, TGP, Rig-Talk and HRI, I should spend less time on the net and more time with my hands on a guitar.
I love neck diagrams, great for plotting ideas on a fretboard, putting tabbed lines onto the fretboard to get general shape.
Hi I'm Jeff and i purchased the software last night. How can I also donload it to my laptop without buying it again? Thanks.
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
You just need to download it to your laptop (via the download link), install it then run it and click on the Help > Register menu enter your license code (copy/paste is easiest) into the window that opens up.
This is actually described in more detail in the FAQ (<-link!), if you need it! And also in the purchase confirmation email :) I guess you bought from within the app, rather than the website hence the confusion?
Hi everyone, I'm Maurice a boring old fart and ex. pro. motor cycle racer from the 60's & 70"s. Started playing Ukelele when i was nine, progressed to Guitar at 12. Smashed my arm and several bones in my hand in 67 and stopped playing. Now I've started again and found neck diagrams searching Goggle. Best bit of kit I've come across. Done more for me in 72 hrs. than in the last 3 months.
Thanks Justin.
Welcome on board Maurice and thanks for the kind words :) Very sorry to hear about the arm/hand, hopefully more guitar playing will be good for it?
BTW very cool pic of you in tux with guitar at http://winerider.com/, what a heartbreaker! :D
Hello everyone,
My name is Ron and I live in West Virginia, USA. I first bought Neck Diagrams to help me learn things for myself. I started teaching two students this past summer and ND has been a Super Tool that makes that task so much easier. Great product & company with a pretty cool fellow running it.
Hey Ron,
That's cool to hear you've started teaching! Wish I had the time to play more, let alone teach ;)
Thanks for the kind words :)
My name is Stephen and I also enjoy using neck diagrams. It's a great tool for teachers and students. I have been a student of guitar for more than 30years and will be for my lifetime. I will be using neck diagrams as one of the tools to help me create original lessons for guitar, theory and bass. Nice to meet you all and looking forward to helping and learning from each other.
That's a fantastic sentiment Stephen! Can't remember who the philosopher was but there's a quote along the lines of "The only thing we can be sure to know is what we don't know"!
It's a pretty daunting thought really - something I think intermediate guitarists (like myself) probably need to contend with most as I think there's a point you realise that you've progressed quite a way but as you gain more knowledge you realise just how much more there is to learn!
Hi, I'm Claes from Gothenburg Sweden.
I came across this software on the fractalaudio forum. It was just what I needed for making material for lessons. I'm not a professional, just a lifelong student of guitar and music who now happens to teach some younger ones.
I am really happy with ND. Thanks!
Hi,
I'm french and I teach guitar & bass for 4 years (mainly guitar) with students aged from 7 to more than 60 years old. I looked for a tool like Neck Diagrams for a while before to discover it by chance.
Hi guys, good to have you on board :)
Hope you enjoy the new features in the recent v1.9 release!
Hey everyone, I'm Dan, and I run a site called Purple Tiger Guitar, named after my beloved ESP. I've played many styles over the years in a number of bands, but these days I prefer to concentrate on rock/metal/shred playing. I've been using Neck Diagrams for about a year, use it extensively on my site, and enjoy it a great deal!
Welcome Dan,
Nice to have to you over here! Is the ESP purple tiger the George Lynch model? Used to lust over one of those back in the day :) I actually had a cheapo orange tiger Aria Pro II which I'm ashamed to say I stripped of its paint job in the early 90's when shred went out of fashion :(
Hello! Excellent software and nice to be here, cool forum.
Cheers,
Jepi.
Hi Jepi
Welcome to the forum and thank you for the kind words.

Hi all,
I'm Mark from Ireland.
Hi Mark
Welcome to the ND forum.
Who's you favourite axeman then? Edge, Moore, Gallagher or none of the above? ;)
Dean
Hi Dean,
Thanks for getting back to me so soon. I certainly like all those guitarists you have mentioned. My current favourite guitarist though is Greg Howe and his new Carvin signature guitar looks great. I think it will be my next major purchase. I have just recently transcribed his version of 'Sunny' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edVbz_uXJd0
I currently play an American Deluxe Fender Strat, white sparkle with brown pickguard. It's a gorgeous guitar, I purchased it in 2009.
Another amazing Irish guitar virtuoso you may like to check out (if you like Jazz) is Louis Stewart. He's self taught and absolutely incredible.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNo-lX4K9EQ
If you like modern acoustic virtuosos such as Andy McKee then you should check out one of the fore runners of that style Irish Virtuoso Eric Roche (RIP). Check out this video where he explains the evolution of his percussive techniques https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdcQyOEnHv8
Which guitarist(s) do you like?
Enjoy,
Mark
Hi Mark
Electric wise - I guess I'm a bit of mainstream fanboy, all the obvious greats of past and present. Probably because I gig quite a lot in covers bands and I'm always teaching those styles / songs.
Acoustic wise - I like Andy McKee and bought a few of his scores a couple years back. But I only got halfway through nailing Drifting before my daughter came along a practice time reduced dramatically, lol. Would love to get Rylynn and his version of Everybody Wants to Rule the World down.
One guy I REALLY like at the minute is Luca Stricagnoli. Check out his song The Future www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMQVyGOZylg
Cheers
Dean
Hey Dean,
That video of Luca is really great. Is that a style of playing you would like to try? Time permitting!
Mark
Hi Everyone -
Russ from North Carolina in the US here - this program is something I've been looking for for years. Great to have found it! Looking forward to sharing guitar. :)
Hi ....
My name is Phil....I am a 58 year old male who has added learning the guitar to his "bucket list"....and enjoying it very much!!
Hi Phil
Welcome to the ND forum. Have a look around and check out some of the work other users have shared.

Thanks Dean .....
Hi all. Dale here. After spending a day manually creating shapes and pieces to put together my own fretboard images, and not having something nearly as professional as what comes from Neck Diagrams, I found this tool and tried it. In minutes I knew I'd be buying it but I was having so much fun using it that I waited until tonight to get it.
Well, I started to get it last night but got a certificate error from KAGA in the in-app purchase page and, with no toolbar or address bar in the browser window I cancelled out and went back through the neckdiagrams.com website tonight. That worked better.
The Neck Diagrams app is awesome. I started using it and was thinking of several enhancements. For instance, what if I could color a note half-and-half with two colors like I had done manually? Then I found how to do it. Or what if I could put a custom label and I found how to do it. If only I could make more strings - and then I found it. If only I could make the strings all the same thickness in my diagram - and then I did. This was generally the pattern all the way through. Everything I wanted to do, the application let me do.
I have posted a few feature suggestions in the features forum but they're minor compared to all the great features that I wanted and found already there in Neck Diagrams.
Thanks for offering a great tool.
Hi Dale
Welcome to the forum and thank you for both the kind words and suggestions.
I'll be responding to your other posts / feature requests shortly.
Thanks
Dean
Thanks, Dean. Did you approve my post in this thread? It looks like you replied but I don't see the post anywhere.
Hi there,
My name is Robert and I am in the process of rewriting my web site using Neck Diagrams 1.10. Having fun using a great program and seeing my ideas come alive. Before ND, I created diagrams using mono-type fonts. Very ugly and my students really couldn’t read them. Anyway if you would like to check out what I’ve put online, go here:

Bye for now,
Robert
Hi Robert
Thank you sharing. Great to here ND is proving such a useful tool for your website.
I immediately learned something new on your site as I've never come across Flee and Flev before, lol. I'll have to look at this technique a little further at some point.
Regards
Dean
