Knowing the notes on the guitar becomes a valuable asset. You don't really have to sit there for ages memorizing, after a few years of playing guitar, you start to just know where the notes are without any work. Although, from your profile I see you've been playing guitar for 20 years, which is five times what I've been playing, so who am I to say?

Well, pardner you just had to go back into prejudge vill. Do you assume I dont know the notes on the fretboard! I think so, but I never said I dont know all the notes on the fretboard,"help me" (you prejudged me) that oks, I use to do it all the time, untill I started getting smartass remarks in reply.(broke me quick) You had a great answer on the marked frets being no more than sign posts on the fretboard to show the way. I have always tryed to find some common link in the marked frets and all keys. No more, there just signs to guide the way.Dam Rite, I agree, GOOD ANSWER "for a 21 yr old legal drinker" Rock on Dude
