Being hard on your self should be left to the judjment of the person with the hard on! Are you sure memorisation of every note isent nessicary? Did you assume I had know knowlege of root notes, and there place in keys, and key movements, are root notes on the fretboard movable, changeable, or eatable.I asked a specfic number of Question in the thread your reffering to none of which were answered without prejudgment, and going into areas I didnot ask about, nor did I tell about,( so prejudgment at all you say) I disagree, For example,( hey, you got me started) I was fully versed in fretboard note locations on julians 1st birthday, and practice I had more practice in before julians parents decided to get started making him from scratch, judging from his profile. But ok enough chep shot, my point is I dident ask for advice on learning all my notes, or getting in some more much needed practice for technique improvement, or about Major scale movements, that ive already got covered, but I got it any way in a manner I found a little offensive(not to much) but enough to speek my mind. Even you Akira are prejudging me, and my abilitys, and really not answering my orginal question, and offering me no new information. Your assuming I dont allready know the notes in each seperate key, and there modes, or about root notes and there relation to keys, modes, and pattern movements. And you said somthing was "simple" that I think is one of the most challenging aspects of fluant guitarsmanship. You know thats ok, Im not scolding yall, Im just saying, try to answer the question without getting into prejudjing someones abilitys, or deepths of study, because what may be simple for you, and unnessicary, could be dam hard for someone else. And some people may even like being hard on them selves,and taking on challenging things for added improvement, and range. The only thing I got out of this whole Q & A session is julians answer that the marked frets are nothing but sign posts on the neck, and hold no special relation to Key changes. GOOD ANSWER Ill start practicing! Rock Out With Your Clock Out.
