It was over 3 years ago that I made this post. I thought I'd revive it as I recently waded through some old website backups and found the script so I've added it to my new website for all you that want it.

Basically this script allows you to create your own customized posters to use as reference when learning scales. Personally I like to look at the pics while improvising to make sure I'm playing in key as I can look at the shapes/fingering.

I plan to make further changes to this for those that might want other paper size options and different layouts so please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Here's a few (low res) sample pics of the posters created by the script:

[original post]
I've been thinking for a while about creating some sort of posters (mainly for my brother as he does not seem to be interested at all in learning theory), but I never had time to get into it.

I have alot of theory books, and a few posters. The posters I prefer because I can relax and play while looking at them (instead of trying to find a position hunched over a book). So over the past few days I've put together a little script (I'm a web developer) to create a few posters I can print out here at work (we have inhouse Digital Printing equipment for A3). My brother now has 4 on his wall, and I'm starting to think I should upgrade this script to add as many features as I can and possibly release it on it's on website for any other aspiring guitarists who want a few reference charts.

Here's a link to the script, use the 3 part form to create a poster (A3 size @ 300DPI for the moment):

I do plan on adding alot more to it, so far I've only added the tunings and scales I use most often. Please feel free to leave feedback (or use the email link on the page) and suggestions. Or maybe you have ideas for improvements or other posters I could produce?

I look forward to reading any comments you may have. (and if there are any errors feel free to point them out and give me a slap)
