Learn and memorize the notes on the guitar fretboard.

Memorize the notes on the guitar fretboard.
Learning the fretboard is key to improve your guitar skills, and this simple tool allows you to find all the notes on the fretboard.
If you are a beginner or an intermediate guitarist and want to expand your knowledge, then memorizing the fretboard will make it easy to learn chords and scales. If you use this method together with the "Circle of 5ths" it will provide a powerful memory recall technique.

Holy shit, this is amazing. I play casually and was never invested in learning the fretboard. But this method eases you into it. I watched this video and moved on, like I do with so many guitar videos :D. and later in the day as I was playing decided to try it, I was shocked by how easy it was for me to find my way around the fretboard. Very well explained and put together sir!

This was the clearest and best explained way of finding the notes on the guitar fretboard I've seen with the simplest pattern (and pneumonics) to go with it. Thank you!

I just used this method, and I'm already faster at finding notes than any other method I've tried. This video is amazing, it has only the important things laid out, and the explanation was simple and to the point, so it's easy to understand, and it's explained by someone with a soothing, satisfying voice, which really just puts the cherry on top

After watching countless videos to learn fretboard, this video made me learn it so easily and the way you explain it is amaizing

I have to say, this is fantastic, the audio quality and the articulation is stunning. Time for many to wake up and learn how to speak as well as play.

EXCELLENT!
Guitarists who read standard notation and spell chords (I do) and already know the circles will find this indispensable.

Open strings are a BASE from which to know EADGBE; and that helps to find F, Bb, Eb, Ab, C, F (fret 1) and F#, B, E, A, C#, F# (fret 2).

This visualization aid finds BASES all around the fretboard from which to find notes (such as D, G).
This is beyond finding
individual notes: it is also about finding “neighbor” notes (A, D, D, G)

Also, EF and BC are very special pairs of notes. Consider a C scale on the piano: White notes are separated by black notes except in 2 cases: E to F and B to C.
You might not believe me if you aren’t compelled (as I am) to name notes and to spell chords.
This visualization method will enhance such learning.

Of all mnemonic systems I got aquainted with over last two months, this one is the most brilliant. Single and easy to memorize pattern, which covers whole fretboard - this is nothing short of spectacular. Thank you!

In my quest to learn the fretboard, I've watched countless videos. This is the best one, not only because it makes it easy to remember visually, but also assists in constructing chords (assuming one already knows how to voice basic chords). Much appreciated!

WTF did I just stumble upon??? This is a GEM OF A VIDEO, and I watch ALL of the guitar videos. How do you not have 500, 000 subs? Mind blown. Thank you.

i learned the notes on the fretboard by, 1st learning where all the A NOTES were on each string. then doing the same for the musical alphabet all the way to G. LEARNING- chords and scales helps to reinforce that knowledge of the fretboard. it just takes time and hard work, but one day you will be glad you did it, then it is not a mystery.

This is the best memorization technique I’ve come across. Short and easy to understand. Thanks dude

[bghammock]

I always try to get at least one nugget of info out of these types of videos .. the BC EF box is it for me :) Never really thought of it as a connected box.

[NoDoSwLa]

I have to make this work for me in my personal way.... But I really like this technique. Thanks for sharing.

Clear explanation, no bloating, great visualisation. Would appreciate more videos. Take care

Been tryn unsuccessfully to mem notes. Im only a short while into scales, got penta, building in major. That 4 note cluster got me because I noticed its useful jamming, noone told me. I found it building into majors. I notine hes creating scales as he goes too. I think like this a lot. I know already this is gonna be good for me going on. What a treat. Many thanks.

BRO I LITERALLY CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. THIS JUST MADE IT 100X EASIER TO MEMORIZE!!!

[christophermball]

FYI, remembering what's in your "house" shape is actually quite a bit simpler if you know your circle of 5ths (which goes in a circle of 4ths the other direction). If you simply read the order of the notes in your shape from bottom to top, left to right, it reads BEADGCF, which is simply moving by 4ths along the circle. This is also the main order for jazz chord progressions such as the 2-5-1. Hope this helps people remember what's in the shape more easily.

This made alot more sense than similar videos trying to explain the note placement on the fretboard. Thanks for making the video!

[RitchieCollins]

As someone who is a beginner and struggling with note memory I found this to be an excellent training video, it deserves more hits.

[SketchEtcher]

I was close to figuring out that pattern but the B string must’ve thrown me off. Thank you! This has got to be one of the most robust ways to think of the fretboard notes because it is universal.

[XstrioX]

Very nice illustrations!! Clearly explained. thanks a lot!
