The present invention is directed to a device for teaching students of stringed instruments note locations and proper finger placement on the fingerboard of the instrument. The device may be adapted for use with either a fretted or non-fretted instrument. The device comprises a sheet of autogenously adhesive plastic, such as cling vinyl, within which is a set of dynamically operated markers such as LED lamps or other electro-luminescent devices for indicating fingering locations for scales or chords. Music from any source such as a recording, microphonic pickup, synthesizer, MIDI equipment, or instrument pickups, or the like is the data input to a computer program which can denature the source music into essential components which are then reconstructed into the tonal patterns of a target instrument such as a guitar. The synthetic target instrumental music is then rendered into one or more analogs, such as a score displayed on the computer screen, recorded in the computer memory, a MIDI output, a printed score, and most importantly, to dynamically drive a set of illuminated "dots" removably attached to the finger board of a stringed instrument, thereby showing the novice player or other exactly where to place his fingers to produce the proper notes.
