What are helpers?
Helpers refer to the various hints that are displayed around the fretboard, particularly the note names on the side, and the fret numbers at the top. They are very useful for beginners, but as you get better you should start using the trainer with the helpers turned off. Of course, when not at the nut, the first fret number will always be displayed. Note that the fret markers, which are typically present on guitars at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th frets, are not considered as helpers. These are always displayed. Note that the helpers option only applies to training mode. In game mode, the easier levels will usually have helpers on. For the more difficult levels, they will be turned off regardless of the setting of the option.
