there are so many possibilities.  I've spent some time going over youtube videos but don't know what's a good choice.


 


is it just pure memorization or do any gimmicks really work?

I don't need to add to the good advice others have given you. Pick a not such as "G" and find all of them on the neck, including open strings. Now use a metronome, start out slow and find all the notes, then gradually increase the tempo until you can find the notes at a pretty good clip. This is the only thing I use a metronome for.
