fretboard memorization

Hi mike,

I hope everything its ok.

I was trying to find the best way to memorice the notes on the fretboard. I have looked some videos on youtube but it looks like everybody has different methods.

I was wondering if you have one method to memorice the notes that you can share with us

Thanks

Hi Mike - I have a few things to share for learning the notes on the fretboard:

1) Check out this GT Channel Episode for an exercise that can help:

2) Navigate to the Toolbox section of the site:

and select the FRETBOARD TRAINER to help sharpen your fretboard knowledge.

3) While you are learning songs, be intentional by taking just a few minutes to identify the notes you are fretting in any chord, or the notes you are playing in a single note phrase or riff, for example. It doesn't take more than a few minutes at a time, and if you do it consistently you'll find your fretboard knowledge increase rapidly!

Hope this helps, let me know how it all goes!

Mike

Timely question mikefsm. Thanks.

And thanks for those tips in your answer Mike O. I just watched your vid linked in 1) & noted suggestions in 3).

I'd already started natively inquisitive on that path tying the positional relationships meaningfully together, and had been actioning what you illustrate in 1) repetitively in a rudimentiary fashion, but your 'how to' use it as a purposed exercise and develop it with speed to cement it rote was guidance at the right time, reinforcing that path as the right one and turning it into both a fun and objective based exercise challenge.

Excellent!! Great to hear!

Keep on rockin'!
