A cool new accessory for Fretboard Addicts!

Hello everyone.  I would like to tell you about a cool new accessory that will enhance the Fretboard Addict experience even further.  It is called the iKlip Studio from IK Multimedia.  It will enable you to interact with your iPad while giving you the ability to hold your guitar at the same time.  This will make it even easier for you to transfer the fretboard knowledge you are developing with Fretboard Addict with your regular practice routine.  As a musician myself, I find this very exciting and revolutionary given all the different positions and places you can use the iKlip Studio.  It is also very sturdy so it handles touch events very well.  Click on the image below to learn more about this cool accessory!
