  • We've updated the design of Fender Play to make it easier for you to keep playing!

    See a walkthrough of the new look here:

    FAQs about the new design and functionality:

    Will I lose my progress with these enhancements?

    No. We've saved your progress and improved tracking across the website and app.

    Why were these changes made to Fender Play?

    We based these changes on feedback from players. We've made the path easier to follow and the lessons are now easier to get to.

    What if I find a lesson too easy? Can I mark it as complete?

    Yes. We've added a "Mark as Complete" feature to allow you to skip a course or lesson if it's too easy for you. Click here for steps on how to mark a course or lesson as complete.

    Can I clear or undo completed progress for a lesson or course?

    Yes. Click here for steps to clear or undo completed progress.

    Do I have to follow my path step by step?

    No. You can move around from paths to levels to instruments as you please. In fact, the sidebar navigation makes moving between lessons even easier.

    How do I get to the navigation menu from mobile web?

    Click the hamburger menu Click here to submit a support ticket in the upper left of your screen to expose the navigation panel.

    How do I change my path?

    You can change your path anytime you'd like by following the steps listed here.

    Will I see the same progress on the web as I do on my mobile device?

    Yes. Progress tracking will be the same, no matter what device you use to view lessons.

    I know that a bubble next to a lesson fills in when I watch a lesson. What do the big green circles indicate?

    As you watch individual lessons in a course, the large circles at the top of the course will begin to fill in, giving an approximate sense of how many lessons in a course have been completed so far. This should help you to keep track of where you left off on your path. Once all of the lessons have been watched in a course, the circle fills in with a checkmark to show you that the course has been completed.

    How do I get support if I have more questions?

  • With Practice Mode, you can practice at your own pace by playing along with automatically-scrolling tablature and a metronome. For each lesson that has tablature, there will be a Practice Mode that follows.

    You'll see the Practice Mode activity under any lesson that includes tablature on your My Path screen:

    Auto-Scrolling Tablature

    Practice Mode automatically moves the tab to match the tempo you have set.

    A red cursor follows along in time with the tablature's tempo and thePlayback Speedsetting.

    Playback Speed

    Using thePlayback Speedbutton on theToolbar, you can slow the playback down, so it's at a more comfortable pace.

    These speeds are available: 100\% (default), 75\%, 50\% and 25\%

    Built-In Metronome

    An audible metronome is enabled by default in Practice Mode.

    The metronome can be turned on and off using the controls in the bottomtoolbar.

    It's best to first just get whatever you are playing/practicing under your fingers without the metronome...get comfortable with finger placement, how your fret hand and thumb are positioned, your posture, etc. Then once you're comfortable, set the metronome to the lowest setting and practice at that speed until you aren't making any mistakes, then take it up a notch to the next metronome tempo and so on, until you get to 100\%.

    Count-In

    When the Play button is pressed, a 1-measurecount-in will happen before the playback begins, to give you time to get your hands back to your instrument and prepare to play.

    The Count-In can be turned on and off using the controls in the bottomtoolbar.

    Practice Mode is currently available on desktop-sized web browsers, iOS app and Android app.

  • DATING EARLY FENDER AMPLIFIERS Dating early Fender amplifiers is sometimes quite challenging. While dating Fender amps made before 1994 by serial number is all but impossible (as records of these numbers were never kept), all hope is not lostthe charts below should prove helpful in dating your Fender amp.

    First, it will be useful to you to understand the following five terms in order to choose the correct chart for dating your amp: Silverface, Blackface and Brownface are slang terms used to identify Fender amplifiers based on the color of the control panel (these terms are often misconstrued to refer to the color of the grille cloth). Tolex is the textured vinyl material that covers the amp; offered in many different colors and textures over the years. Tweed refers to the two-tone woven fabric that covered many early amplifiers. On early amps, this material was varnished to make it a more durable covering. Several different types, in vertical and diagonal weaves, were used.

    Please note that it’s quite difficult to precisely determine the production date of early Fender amps. Although the dates derived using the charts below will likely be a good approximation, they should not be considered exact.

    DATING CONTEMPORARY FENDER AMPLIFIERS All Fender amplifiers manufactured from 1990 to the present include a date code, printed on the quality assurance (QA) sticker on the back of the amp chassis. This black-and-silver sticker contains several lines for “sign-offs” on completion of sound and electrical testing. The final line contains a date code of two printed or handwritten letters denoting the amplifier’s production date by year (the first letter) and month (the second letter).

    In the table below, for example, a “CE” date code indicates a production date of May 1992.

    YEAR

    MONTH

    1990 A January A 1991 B February B 1992 C March C 1993 D April D 1994 E May E 1995 F June F 1996 G July G 1997 H August H 1998 I September I 1999 J October J 2000 K November K

    December L

    DATING 1951-1969 BLACKFACE, BROWNFACE, BROWN TOLEX, WHITE TOLEX OR TWEED AMPLIFIERS USING THE TUBE STICKER On the inside of the cabinets of most Fender amps made after 1950 and before 1970, there might be a “tube location” sticker. This sticker is a chart that shows the types of tube types used and the order of their physical location in the amplifier, and may be rubber-stamped with two-letter date codes that denote the year (first letter) and month (second letter) of production. These stamped letters may appear in various positions on the chart.

    In the table below, for example, a “JE” date code indicates a production date of May 1960.

    YEAR

    MONTH

    1951 A January A 1952 B February B 1953 C March C 1954 D April D 1955 E May E 1956 F June F 1957 G July G 1958 H August H 1959 I September I 1960 J October J 1961 K November K 1962 L December L 1963 M

    1964 N 1965 O 1966 P 1967 Q 1968 R 1969 S

    DATING FENDER AMPLIFIERS (INCLUDING SILVERFACE AND BLACKFACE AMPS) USING TRANSFORMER CODES

    In general, Fender amps that don’t have rubber-stamped tube sticker date codes have EIA numbers on their transformers that might enable determination of the production date. These numbers always begin with “EIA 606,” and are followed by three or four digits in various combinations.

    If three digits are present, the first digit refers to the year (i.e., a “7” would mean 1967). If four digits are present, the first two digits refer to the year (i.e., a “66” would mean 1966). The last two digits refer to the week of the year (i.e., a “26” would mean the 26th week or, roughly, June). For example, EIA 606-4-21 would denote the 21st week of 1964. It is also advisable to add about 6 months to the date to allow for time these parts may have spent in inventory storage.

    REFERENCE MATERIALS FOR DATING FENDER AMPLIFIERS If you are unable to determine the approximate production year of your amplifier using the above charts, there are other means of dating Fender amps. Several excellent books are available that contain reliable and invaluable information on the history of Fender amplifiers. We highly recommend each of them.

    To use these books most effectively, you’ll need to get the date codes from the speaker frames and potentiometers, and as much other detailed information as you can find about the specs and features of your amp. They are detailed reference resources with a wealth of information on determining the production years of various amplifiers and on Fender history in general. Indeed, we use these same books here at Fender when researching historical and date-related issues.
