Yep, me too..........have been working up to recording one of my own tunes and that's taken a bit off the schedule for me.

Don't like to be negative, but...
Running into the same roadblocks I seem to hit every other time I tried this kind of fretboard memorization. Starting to feel like a blinking idiot.
Getting really good drawing a diagram with all notes frets 1-12, but not at all sure it's helping remember - which is disappointing because I thought it would help to learn by writing them. Those notes are scattered all over the place. I am getting a lot quicker moving up each string and knowing/seeing notes, but not really recalling where they are in any sort of cohesive way. Maybe I just need patience. It was a 90 day plan after all, and I'm only about a week in. Will make a point of sticking with it.

I’m still following. I like the idea of breaking the fretboard into three groups of four frets.

Still working on it. Sometimes it seems to flow, then at other times I feel like it’s my first try. Coming along though.

I think a good alternative to this is to practice only writing down notes in a given key. I think that could actually be even more useful.

Unless you made sure to do it in ALL keys, no this wouldn't be useful.

When I learned the fretboard, I focused on the major scale using solfege and lined that scale up with the notes on the fretboard for Cmajor. (It sounds more complicated than it is. Lefty example: http://www.dee.email/OPEN/layoutfretboard.pdf ) It was extremely efficient because as I learned the patterns with "do" on C (as the fixed "do" system does), I was learning the notes as well, but much more importantly, it meant I was learning the patterns on the fretboard that would apply to the minor scale as well AND, since I could, then, move those patterns (just as moveable "do" does), they would also apply to both of those scales in any key AND be easily adapted to a number of other scales. Since I had no background in music before guitar, this was a much more useful understanding for me than simply memorizing note names would have been, and since I'm not very good at memorizing, it was actually a lot easier for me. The important thing for me to learn was the patterns on the fretboard as they related to patterns in scales, not the note names, but the note names came along incidentally.

It's so tempting to evaluate progress one or two steps in to a routine. It rarely reflects reality. There are no true shortcuts here. Repetition is your friend. And, even after 90 days, what you will have (if you are diligent) is a foundation, NOT mastery. That's OK. Mastery develops much more quickly with a solid foundation.

Hang in there folks, we are 10 or so days in to 90 days.
And for some people its gonna take more than 90 days. That's fine. It took me years, because I'm lazy. Hopefully everybody is seeing there's no short cuts. None. And those looking for scales and stuff, its coming... but it's not step 1. We might not even be at step one yet...this is pre-step one. Bellyscootin.' And if you print somebody else's filled in chart, you're cheating. Do the work. It's a nice offer, but it's a sure fire way to fail this program. |

I've tried hard to see if there's a pattern. None as far as I can tell. On days when I've partied late the night before, yeah, it makes sense, but the 'no, you can't play today' seems to happen as well at completely random intervals. |
