How to REALLY Memorize The Fretboard

So here's the deal gang, I recently said in a video "There's no easy way to memorize all the notes" I was wrong! This whole video is a correction to that statement because I am the kind of guy who can admit when I'm wrong. I'm so awesome and morally upstanding. Hope this helps.

[leesur]

this deserves an award for most understandable "how to memorize the fretboard" video thanks man

[grafeas_ton_megaleon]

I really like your No BS approach to teaching. I would definitely buy your online course if you had one, no matter the price :)

So, I'm an idiot and I couldn't for the life of me remember which notes didn't have sharps, even though it's literally two letters out of seven, until - UNTIL, right - until I remembered that episode of The Simpsons where Homer has that barbershop quartet and they're called "The Be Sharps", and B and E are the two notes which don't have sharps. Thanks again, Simpsons, for adding value to my life. And thank you, Kevin, for teaching me how to not get a girlfriend but to sort of muddle through knowing a pentatonic scale.

Thank you. You’re answering all the questions I was too intimidated ask, and even some questions I didn’t know I had! Your videos are fantastic.

I wish my music teacher back in school made stuff this easy to understand, i would've picked up guitar much earlier if they were this helpful. Great vid man!

I've recently bought an electric guitar even though I have no clue about guitars as I play the piano (nothing serious, just amateur) and it was extremely intimidating to wrap my head around the basics and terminology. But you explain everything in the most concise and easy way to understand.

Kevin, if you're reading this, and I hope you do... I'm forever grateful for the amazing effort you put up in your videos and I'll be anticipating more videos from you in the future.

Your channel is criminally underrated ! Your channel's now on my radar, fucking subscribed mate ! ❤

Your one lesson made me magically know the whole fret board. I can't thank u enough!

[andyapsay]

Thanks Kevin. Very informative for a newbie.

after 21 years I finally decided to learn all the notes. This video has exceeded my expectations and has been amazingly helpful! Thank you sir!

[MarceloHenkin]

great video. in addition to this, for D, G and (especially) B strings, you could use "reference points" horizontally. so you learn for example the notes on the 5th fret (except for the 3d string, that you use the 4th fret....at this point you teach that these are notes you use for tuning the other strings) and if you want to know what is the note on the 7th fret, 2nd string, for example, you know that this note is 2 frets higher or 1 whole step higher then the note on the 5th fret 2nd string (E note, which you are going to memorize, because it's the same note as the 1st open string). So you find that note is F#, one whole step higher than E. Anyway, it's a way that I find easier to find the notes on these other strings, especially on the B string. Because with the D and G strings the "octave way" you showed is the most useful.

This is the best demonstration of the fretboard I’ve come across. Ty man!

[j.r.]

Man, you just cleared up months of confusion and gave me a battle plan to work with. Definitely earned a like and subscription. Thank you!

[tlv]

Thanks Kev. You have great teaching skills! Thank you so much for sharing this over the internet! Rock on!

[keek]

I started guitar about the time you dropped this vid and I was recommended you early on. I wasn't sure about your channel at first since it seems you're building it currently, but after watching many videos I can honestly say yours are some of the most clear, simple, and entertaining. Thanks man

[scm]

Thank you!! Amazingly easy to understand. I really appreciate the work you put into these. They have been a huge help in my musical journey. I'm looking forward to more great content!

[nwhite]

After watching tons of videos, your video made the most sense and it finally clicked. Thanks man. You’re going places

Been waiting my whole life for someone to lay it out like this

[blutey]

I've watched a few 'memorize the fretboard' tutorials on YT. This was by far the best.

[UndeadKai]

These have been FIRE I’m starting at the perfect time
