Does anyone have a nice tip / trick on how to remember the notes on the neck ??

Right now I can go from 6th string to 1st on the first 5 frets but I need to do it in that order I can't just start on 3rd string immediately and know the notes.

Same if I move horizontally, I know 6th string has G A B on frets 3-5-7 and then I keep counting from that (same on the other strings).

I also know that on 5th fret the note is the one from the open string below (except for B)

Also there are the rules of string 6 to 4 and 2 frets higher OR string 6 to 3 and 3 frets lower, OR also string 6 to 5 and 5 frets lower then finally string 6 to 5 and 7 frets higher.

I also obviously know the notes on fret 12, and that string 1 and 6 are the same. ANd on top of that there is that B string which has only 2 steps from G string so missing 1/2step.

So this is a lot of tricks but none of them makes it intuitive, fast or easy to find all the notes.
