You're all a bunch of bitches

I confess. When I had 3 seconds to find the Bb on the D string, I couldn't find my guitar.

I never understood why this guy always says "age reveal at 1M subs" in all of his shorts, but one day I randomly wondered how old he was, and realized I couldnt tell if he was 17 or 30. Now it all makes sense.

"Everyone watching this video is further along in that" I literally learnt today these are called frets

[get_video]

He explains it so good but I wish he would stop yelling lol

I learned all my triads by writing out every note of the major scale on a fret board diagram and highlighted roots 3rds and 5ths, and I did this on absolutely every key each on their own sheet of paper. Then I memorized the names of each note of every triad and memorized which was the root and 3rd in every inversion. By proxy I learned where the 5th is by process of elimination and also learned all the notes of the Fretboard as a result. Knowing where the 3rds and 5ths are are obviously useful because you can change a chord to a minor or sus, or diminished. I can do this shit with my fucken eyes closed. Changed my life.

Wish I found this sooner man, been playing for only 3 years now and this video itself has sped up my proggress immensely. In 1.5 weeks I learned all the notes on the E, A and D string 2 more to go 🤠🎸

Bro stop yelling, I'm trying to actually learn.

[Parmetheus]

Thanks, man. Took me 3 weeks practicing 15-30mins a day but I feel like I've got the handle on the fretboard now 🖖

My favorite youtube guitar teacher, and I'm not even studying

[novomiracle]

I bet he is the calmest guys in the world in real life

[keek]

I initially disliked ur page and went for the more academic seeming ones but I’ve since realized ur info is legitimate and concise while a lot of those guys just ramble for 20 mins and i learn nothing

[AndrewSzypula]

Guitar players always have the absolute wildest ways to describe practicing

[Iron_Thunderstorm]

“I bet you slow down at green lights too” cracked me up 😂

[shlumpusmostr]

Another wonderful training to add to my everyday routing. Already repping the stuff from pentatonic and training videos, thanks, Brandon!

[nicosonic]

I don't even know what the notes are called on my guitar neck.

I have not been playing guitar for very long (only 6 years), but i have sort of devised a similar way to memorise the fretboard over the years.
But more recently, I have started to rely more on "feel". I am not sure if I play the right, I dont know what note I am playing, I just sort of guess, and it works 99% of the time.

Another way to memorise, is to actually start playing more down the fretboard instead of sticking to the top.

[RT-qtxh]

Actually that is a brilliant idea, I used to do it the old way, but also to train my ears with it but I’m a bit stuck currently and was thinking of other approaches too, thx you

[张耀辉-bt]

make things randomly is really a good wat to really master the skill, ur tutorials r really practical and useful, keep it up bro!

[kosan]

I feel like the first method is how you start to be able to the other method in the first place. When you do the first method, just dont be stupid and ONLY learnt the relationships between the notes but instead where that note is located. I dont think anyone is practicing the first method by only thinking "G, 1 more frets up is A" theyll likely think "3rd fret is G, 2 frets up is A, so A is 5th" Being self taught, i ended up learning like this then using a similar method to learn the notes all across on every string and found it to be pretty straightforward and easy.
