Sort of the old school version of the Fretlight guitar system, Chip: http://fretlight.com/
I doubt they'll be making a mando version of that system anytime soon though (not to mention the fact that it seems to me that although the system could reap huge initial rewards, I'm not convinced that its really the correct path to get to where one sees an un-lighted fingerboard "lit-up in the brain" the way Chip does).
I'm glad this conversation has progressed. What I'm taking away from this conversation is that I've been leaving half the good stuff on the plate during a lot of my practice time: focusing my attention completely on internalizing the finger pattern and paying too little attention to the "sound pattern" that corresponds to that finger pattern.
Now to go back and over-intellectualize how I can use that take-away message to make my practice time more useful
