I have made myself a blank fretboard on microsoft powerpoint showing the 6 strings and 15th frets. I have copied this so I am showing 3 fretboards on an A4 sheet of paper. I then labeled each fretboard with A,B,C and have used a coloured dot to show me clearly where all the notes of A are. I have done this with the other 2 showing B and C

This has helped me a lot when finding A (There are seven A's to remember up to the 12th fret) Once I can comfortably find each note without looking at the sheet I will move onto B etc.

Have you used a different method and would you like to share with a forgetfull fortyish that could use any help possible :)


I don't know how to transfer this to the forum but will happily send it by email to any one who wants copies.

Happy learning everyone
