haha, the trick I've been using lately, is to watch an episode of seinfeld on my laptop with earphones while i'm practicing whatever riff I'm working on with the guitar unplugged :P. I'd bet you'd develop a pretty good, blind feeling for the fretboard if you did that once a day for a few weeks. Your fingers will get used to going to where they're supposed to, there's just no way around it... hope that helps
