I was hoping your link went to Bill Hankey! Glad to see his name pop up here.

What Donnie said is your best advice. I'm so thankful that Bobby Bowman told me "just learn the guitar and don't rely on crutches like chords written on frets". |

As to the Hankey Upright Fretboard, and possibly a few other upright factors:
"There is simply no reason to compare the Hankey Upright Fretboard to horizontal boards. It is entirely new in concept and I am delighted beyond imagination. To say this works for me is the understatement of the year."
"Yes, denotations have a very special place in our lives...The new concept is ideal for many reasons. Individual preferences governing that which pleases one viewer, and not another, is not a problem."
"When Christopher Columbus 'sailed the ocean blue in 1492," his mates wanted to toss him overboard and turn the ship around. They panicked, thinking that the earth was flat, like a steel guitar fretboard."
"The slanting fretboard, mounted at approximately the same angles as a reader would hold a newspaper, or book, has the potential to create a mountain of thoughts."
"A little variation in subject matters is quite unavoidable to be sure. Everyone whom I've met for the first time enjoys discussing steel guitar."
[a brief homage to the inviolable inventor of the Hankey Upright Fretboard, and of his own fretless syntax] R.I.P.
