A method and apparatus for learning to play a musical instrument, such as a guitar, by incorporating a markable, erasable surface onto the neck of the instrument such that the student may apply, as needed, removable markings to the instrument that indicate the correct finger positions for playing the instrument. The incorporation of this markable, erasable surface onto the instrument is an improved method of learning because a student is better able to place his or her fingers in the correct positions on the instrument when learning how to play the instrument.

A universal guitar chord learning system comprising a plurality of chord cards, each having a thin, flat body configured for removable insertion between the strings and fretboard of a guitar without interfering with string vibration. The chord cards include fret-engaging notches arranged along peripheral edges, adapted to securely attach to guitar frets of varying spacings and dimensions, thereby providing universal compatibility with various guitar models. Chord identifying information and finger placement markers are disposed on the body of each chord card. In use, a selected chord card is inserted between the strings and fretboard, engaging the fret notches with the guitar frets, allowing the user to play the chord with the card in place to facilitate learning through visual and auditory modalities.
