I have found this to be very helpful too - I was learning the water is wide and struggling with the dynamics of the piece until I heard Ed Gerhard talk about picking the melody line out on single notes on it’s own and realised I couldn’t do this initially (so didn’t know the melody on the fretboard)
Once I practiced and learnt it this way, when I came back to the tune as a whole I not only found the melody to be more prominent as I played it, but felt I knew where I was going better...
