About blank fretboard diagrams
A fretboard diagram lays the guitar neck out flat: six horizontal lines for the strings, vertical lines for the frets, and dots at the usual inlay positions (3, 5, 7, 9 and 12). Blank necks are how teachers and players work out scales, arpeggios, chord tones and note names across the whole neck. This sheet gives you six empty twelve-fret necks per page.
