The extension displays the guitar neck vertically with the first fret at the top of the display which would be easier to navigate if positioned horizontally in the displayed. The picture is also blurry when I zoom in which I'm sure could be resolved, however this is small potatoes compared to the fact that the window displaying the guitar neck is blocks the larger window so I can't see the printed information about the different choices and variants of the scales. This is almost a very cool extension, but even the link to click to visit the webpage takes me to a error page when I click it. Ugh is very frustrating because the very cool look of the design and the great amount of choices are Utterly Useless with this web formatting. Cheers I hope you fix this because I would gladly change to five stars if I could see the information the extension is displaying without obstruction.

I agree with an earlier review. The guitar neck is so narrow and small that the notes are too difficult to see. But if you can see the notes, it would probably be pretty useful.
