Set your metronome at 60. Pick a note (c# for exemple).

then you choose another note, you do the same and another note and so on.
You do that for all 12 notes. If 60 is to fast, drop it down. If its too slow, make it faster. You do that till you can do it in your sleep.

Add this to your daily warm up or practice routine and you will learn the fretboard very fast.

This is such a simple yet effective technique. I think I will try this myself to round out my fingerboard knowledge. I'm teaching my daughter too, so when we get to that point, I'll do this with her too.

I checked out your yourtube video. Nicely done, especially for the amount of time you took to learn the solo!! My only suggestion (which is simple!) is to add a little more "dirt" in the amp settings - overdrive it a little more. Perhaps a little more reverb too. You don't want to overdo it, but I think it would give it more punch.
