In this vein, what do we mean by 'knowing' or having 'mastery' of the fretboard? For example, I can point out any note on the fretboard, but it might take me a second because I might base it off of patterns relative to, say, the low E or whatever. Can I point out a 5th or a 9th immediately after forming a chord? I doubt it. How do we define mastering the freboard? Thanks.
