As a fairly accomplished guitarist let be give you a piece of advice.
If you want to learn the notes instead of learning them across the 6 strings, concentrate on learning them up and down the same string.
- smnplk 10y agoThanks for advice, I am using similar approach too. Because I also try to learn the positions too, so if you ask me what note is on sixth string/8th fret I have to know it's C and then if you ask me where are the other C notes, I need to know other string/fret pairs.
- St_Alfonzo 10y agoA mnemonic that helped me was learning relative notes in 'shapes' on the fretboard. The octave is 2 strings higher & 2 frets higher. The perfect fifth is 1 string higher & 2 frets higher. (Same shape as one of the movements of the knight/horse piece in chess :-) ) The minor third is same string & 3 frets higher OR 1 string higher & 2 frets lower. The major third is 1 string higher & 1 fret lower. On a normal tuned E-Bass this is valid for every string and every fret. On Guitar you have to add "1 fret higher" if your start point is on string 1-4 (E to G) and the target is on string 5-6 (B, e) because the interval between string 4 and 5 is different (major third instead of perfect fourth). Good Luck in 2017! My goal is also "continue learning Clojure and build stuff with it"
- alleycat 10y agoTo add to this, I'd probably learn the low E, then you can use octave patterns to find the notes on other strings easily. See here: https://www.justinguitar.com/en/IM-116-NotesOnNeck.php https://www.justinguitar.com/en/IM-116-NotesOnNeck.php
