Visualize The Guitar Fretboard - HIDDEN Fretboard Geometry (Learning The Fretboard On Guitar)

Learning The Fretboard On Guitar and the hidden geometry of the fretboard.

Today, I wanted to show you the underlying elegant yet logical framework of the guitar fretboard and the hidden geometry in the spacing of the dot or inlay markers, which enable you to vizualise the guitar fretboard and navigate the fretboard comfortably.

In this video, I discuss why the guitar fretboard dots are where they are, and how understanding this enables you to recycle chords, licks, and arpeggios in other areas of the guitar neck. This fundamental understanding is the key to playing everywhere on the guitar fretboard visualization.

This video is edited from my first YouTube Live. Please excuse the dodgy cuts. I’m still learning to edit.

PLEASE drop a comment so I can make my channel work for YOU.

Also, JOIN my Facebook group dedicated to teaching You how to learn guitar effectively :)

I'd totally appreciate it if you would take the time to comment, like and subscribe to my channel. That's what all the super cool people do ;)

I am a guitar teacher with 30 years experience teaching privately, in schools, further education, and rehabilitation organizations. I pride myself on giving beginning guitar players the foundation skills needed to become the guitar player they want to be.

In 2006 I founded "Ricky's school of rock", which is a real school of rock set in 6000 sq ft of dedicated teaching space, where my staff of 16 tutors and myself teach every day. Teaching guitar is our calling and legacy.

The results and outcomes YOU are seeking are what drives the content of every lesson. My background as an NLP practitioner enables me to have a unique, incisive and effective take on learning guitar that defeats the self-doubt adult learners can face when coming back to learning. I care deeply about your results.

The videos I teach here on YouTube have been meticulously tested and finessed in real life classrooms and lessons with thousands of real live students.

Been going through all your stuff back to the beginning, Ricky. You've really offered everyone a phenomenal education in not just the guitar, but in music. THANK you!

[betterworldok]

You are an historian, artist, musician, humanitarian and a philosopher. You are my guru

[LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

1975 music ed grad here, 3rd year into learning classical guitar. Watching 2nd video of yours and I'm so impressed--this info is literally jaw dropping for me! You are such a wonderful teacher!

Keep discovering these little gems now and again. Sometimes I hear you say 'you don't know, what you don't know'. Which is very true. Then again, at times, 'you don't know, what you do know'. That is because we tend to stay in a comfort zone without exploring the options available. This video is an example of this. I would normally stay in a safe zone, yet there it was in front of my face, staring at me...I have the option to move up an Octave, play the same notes and sound even more professional...well at least give that impression...lol. What a great tutorial. Cheers Ricky.

wow lmao the looking at the fretboard after the 12th fret at the same way as the beginning is GENIUS

[sodakjohn]

Everytime I see one of your videos I learn a little something extra that I can't get anywhere else, thanks.

[MJayeG]

Where have you been all my life. I'm blown away by how much more sense all the guitar stuff makes through your perspective

[georgeswitick]

Ricky, as a beginner, I have watched untold videos for the fretboard and remained confused aa ever. I have now watched three of your videos and finally a light bulb has gone off. I hate to admitted it but I was still counting 13, 14, 15 frets beyond the 12th. Your simple comment that 13 is really 1 all over again is so simple I am a fan for life.
Thank you and keep 'em coming.

[bobmetelsky]

Excellent explanation. I’ve not seen anyone explain these concepts as well as you have. I’ve made you my official guitar teacher! :-) thank you

[jeromekovacik]

Ricky... Hello Jerome (Jerry) here.
Because of your video... I will never think about 15th and 17th fret's anymore.
I'm just going to Recycle!

[calliloden]

This is super helpful! Makes much more sense than just memorizing all the notes

[AncientGranules]

Last statement... EXACTLY the way I think - your are totally correct... simplify it!

[cafriahart]

Wow! I loved this video...I feel the gloriousness of my guitar. Literally got goosebumps. Thank you for this wonderful explanation.

[maxinepatton]

You are the first person I've seen to give an explanation other than random placement of the dots. Thank you! I never realized where to find middle c on guitar also.

[deeguitar]

[geoffkeogh]
