    Hello Everyone,

    I made this sheet to help me pick out melodies from sheet music I have lying around the house, and I am planning on making something like this available on my website for people wanting to do the same. I was hoping to get some feedback from my fellow MC Theory-Heads to see if this might be something some folks might find interesting. If you get the chance to check it out and let me know what you think, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance!

    Scott

    Scott- Thanks for posting this. The color coding linking the frets to the lines and spaces of the musical staff looks like it could be helpful.

    from the "Treble Clef Jig" box:
    ...the location of the notes A-G on the Treble Clef that correlate with the notes from the open 6 (lowest-pitched) string all the way up to the 17th fret on the “1” (highest-pitched)... (my emphasis)
    Betcha you made a "jig" for guitar before the one for mandolin and then did some cut-and-paste.

    Pretty cool. Having this color coded helps a lot. Thanks for sharing.

    i think this is great and i thank you for the effort in doing this, but when you print it off it might just be my tired old eyes but i find a bit difficult seeing the text in white on the colours i think it may have been better in black, this not a gripe scott i think you have done a great job and thanks again

    One thing. There's a reference to the low strings being string 6? I maybe dense...
