Hey man,
As MonkeyDAthos said use octaves. If you look carefully to the fretboard you will see that there are some shortcuts. For example; Take the note on the first fret of the low E string. It is a F. If you move +7 frets on the higher string (A string) which is 8th fret of the A string, you will get another F.(1+7=8th fret) If you move +2 frets on the 2 higher string (D string) which is 3rd fret of the D string you will get another F.(1+2=3th fret) Then you will notice there are some rules which are; - +7 frets on the first higher string - +2 frets on the second higher string (You can get this by the 5 fret rule between the strings also) And since the last string is another E the notes are same as the low E. Also this same structure repeats itself after the 12th fret by +12 rule (Meaning 1st fret Low E string = (1+12)13th fret Low E string) I'm also adding a picture for you to see what i said Hope that helps. Dogukan, PS: Sorry for english. I think i did some mistakes as i wrote This post has been edited by quadrium: Jun 7 2011, 11:50 PM -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPOTIFY PAGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL |

Quadrium and dark dude are right, using octaves is a good way to begin to memorize the notes on the fretboard. Also do you play scales much? Knowing your scales (pentatonics, chromatic, and diatonics) can really help in learning the notes on the fretboard

Thanks for all the information and suggestions, guys!
Will definately set aside a good amount of time from my practice schedule to work on this. |
