From Phil Coonce:

Don't Fret, the patented finger position indicator will help you solve these problems. Inexpensive, mathematically designed for accuracy, and made of clear, self-adhering vinyl, it applies easily to the fingerboard. Colored lines arranged in a scale pattern show the students exactly where to place their fingers. It gives you a resource for teaching finger positions, scales, keys, and intervals. Whatever your method, Don't Fret helps you communicate more effectively. So work hard, but Don't Fret!
