Remember, how you retain information is not the same as how everybody else does....some of us actually prefer to see charts and diagrams.

Yes, true. Although it is good to say (better yet sing or hum) the notes while you play them whether your a kinesthetic learner or not. The connection of source to use is how everyone retains information on an instrument. This practice is essentially the first stepping stone for other musical skills. Afterall the way a diagram looks, and the way the guitar looks when your playing is completely different. You'll have to make some kind of connection, unless you swing the guitar sideways when you play. ;)

BTW, concrete thanx for adding that about ascending the notes are sharp, and descending the notes are flat.

Pant, whatever is easy for you man. What concrete added is a good way to do learn both. But the name you choose for an enharmonic note is a personal choice. Mine just happens to be that way.
