Where To Begin?

Be sure to read the Tutorial first. There you'll take a quick tour of the FretPet interface and build a simple progression and picking pattern. This way you can experience some immediately pleasing results and get primed to start experimenting. Once you've got the hang of things you can return to the manual and read over the rest at your leisure.

This manual uses blue hyperlinks to refer to other areas of the manual text, while bold green links refer to definitions in the Glossary.
