I know there are no shortcuts but there are various methods. What are your thoughts on THIS, or have you m got any methods to help. I find it very difficult to memorise.

Thanks Ben,
Do you think having a decent ear helped you doing it that way? I've tried various ways but I don't have a brain for remembering things like a fretboard. I guess ultimately one needs to know the intervals of the scale one is using and the various options to go from the note one is on to the hours one what's to put next. I find it pretty complex to be honest. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Mertay,
So it's more about ear training and knowing which notes are in the key you're in? But then you still need fretboard knowledge. And then there are people that say "there are no wrong notes".

I'm currently trying an app, there are lessons and challenges in a game style format which might help as well as playing

Thanks for the insight Mertay. When I do the collabs, I usually do them very quickly, I listen to the backing a few times and then BOOM, lay down the take. I find if I don't do it straight away, the takes that "develop" from trying to improve the first idea seem to lose some intensity somehow. Maybe I'm thinking I should be able to do that for a long time over backing and as you set, it might be unrealistic for my level.
Cheers buddy. Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in instalments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success.” Israelmore Ayivor |

Learn the notes of the fret-board in 24 hours? At 24 frets with 6 strings that's 144 note locations. I once worked in Aldi before they had bar codes and had to learn the prices of 700 different products in 3 days. I got to 300 in 2 days ........then quit! Sausages £2.99, Muesli 500g £1.45, Syrup 80p NO THANKS!!! I do lots of stuff for fret-board note learning like 1 note per string chromatic scale and much more. Learning the notes of the fret-board can depend on definition too I guess. Do you want to be able to work out any note on the fret-board within 5 seconds, sometimes referring to other notes you already know to work your way up or down to the one needed? or do you want to know any random note name anywhere on the fret-board in less than 0.1 seconds. I don't really know I suppose I'd like to understand the fretboard more, which I guess involves knowing the scales even more so that I can know where I am and where to go to get what I want, if that makes sense?

Here's how I did it (this was a long time ago) ...
I memorized the 6th (low E) and 5th (low A) strings up to the 12th fret. Dots first then the frets between the dots. This was instantly beneficial because it helped me to be able to find and name power chords and barre chords. *Bonus - when you you know the 6th string you know the first string. Then I figured out how to find the octaves from the 6th and 5th strings to the 4th and 3rd strings respectively. All that's left now is the 2nd string. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Thanks Ken, A lot of it is being able to think on the fly and beyond that being so familiar with it that you don't really need to think. It's all down to paying attention and over time it will stick in one's head. Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
