Sorry I didn't finish the thought. Yes its a synthesized voice. There are a bunch of voice options none great but you get used to it. To OG and Boogie, I checked out the CAGED system and I am amazed I never heard of it before. I mean it had to be around 15-20 years ago when I was playing but I never heard of it. It looks like exactly what I need to improve the hand movement. also a funny thing I noticed, re someone elses messege about a dark room or not looking at the neck. Let preface by saying I used to have some vision before and always focused on the neck and my left hand like most novice players do. Well now that I can't see I noticed I make far more mistakes when just looking wherever rather than focusing on the neck. Even though I can't see my hand or the neck anymore I am far more accurate when I am focusing in that direction.
