What is my first step to using the map and tracks?

Your first step is to remove the map from the backing paper. Start at one corner and slowly pull the map away from the backing paper.


As you pull the map away, ensure that you leave behind the cut outs for the frets...





Then line up the map with the corresponding frets of the guitar and the fret openings on the map. Slip one corner of the map under the strings at about a 45 degree angle until the corner of it passes under the last string.

Then slowly pull it in line (parallel) with the neck of the guitar, line the openings with the frets. Align the edges of the guitar neck with the side lines of the pattern boxes on the map and set it into place over the frets.

The next step is to set the map and secure it in place which is explained in the next pages...
