Keep doing your regular thing too...fretboard knowledge is NOT music, and if it's all you do, you will get bored and give up. But once you get far enough in, you'll see the benefit. |

Hi Arthur, is that the popular "Jethro Tull" Bourree? If so, that should be thought of as an F# rather than a Gb. That suite (BWV 996) is in Em, as are the first few measures of that Bourree.

Definitely an F#, but that's another lesson for another day.

Okay, all, it's WEEK 2.
Week 2 Assignments… Flashcard time…Make a set of flashcards for yourself with all of the notes of the chromatic scale. Make separate cards for enharmonics (so you’ll have an F# card and a Gb card, for example) Move your spider exercise up to the next group of four frets—so the 5th thru 8th fret. Keep saying and playing. If things are going rough, you might want to write out a chart again a few times. After a few days, grab your flashcards, and a timer. Set your timer for 30 seconds, shuffle your flashcards, and pull a note. Start the timer, and for those 30 seconds, find every one of that note on each string between the open and 8th fret. If you get them all, go ahead and repeat yourself. So for example, you might just be playing “E’s” for 30 seconds, then on to “Db’s”—whatever. Try doing this going “string by string” and also by going randomly, finding and playing them as quickly as you can. Do this as often as you can. If you get really good at it, you can take on frets 9 thru 12. |

Well we didn't loose me. i am enjoying the simple structure of thrice a day working the fretboard. I am especially enjoying naming the notes I play. Kind of like the thing you believe you already know, until you put it into practice.
Thanks again for doing this. |

Have been following this thread and I am all in. Previously I had been trying to memorize the fretboard by playing scales up and down the neck. It has worked to an extent but learning notes in sections and using flashcards looks like a good idea. There are no shortcuts.

I'm still working on the first exercise, but will try to catch up. Life has been hectic and guitar time has been limited.

I'm following. Behind a bit due to lack of time (and, tbh, lack of practice discipline) but definintely following. Keep up the good work.

Ok, you have done that. Then what?

I opened a Dropbox account.
Now just need to work on how to add link. Click on the link below, select Save as. Then open in your photo editor and print it out. Notice each same note is coded the same color. Ed
