Topic: Learn the notes on the fretboard - fretboard game

Something that is important and that I do not spend enough time practicing is learning the whole fretboard, note for note. Here's a link that should help me (and maybe others) master this task. (or at least improve)

That was fun.... I scored 530 first try with 15 seconds left on the clock. Seems I'm ready for the next level...   Great practice tool smile

Re: Learn the notes on the fretboard - fretboard game

Thats awesome Pix - Like I said, I need practice. I'm OK on the 5th and 6th strings, but need to think about 2,3,4.

Try master level - it gets quite a bit more challenging.

Re: Learn the notes on the fretboard - fretboard game

Tops I relate all mine and it helps me.... I look at it in relation to E. Take the G string for example, I know that G is E +3,  So any fret I need to identify for the G string, I just add 3 and relate it to the E string.... If you follow what I'm saying smile   G string 5th fret is the same as E string 8th fret (5th fret +3) So I know that's C.. Probably not the best way but that's how my mind works it out smile figure the +# for every string and it just clicks in place with simple math if you know the E string well....

Tried master level sad  Didn't miss any but was a little slow, had 4 left to answer when time ran out.   I can see myself using this a lot!  Thanks for the link!

Hey, that is neat topdown.  I have much work to do.  This may help.

Re: Learn the notes on the fretboard - fretboard game

Now that the men around here are starting to play scales, I should probably make an attempt to learn a few notes on the fretboard... thank you!  This might actually be a little fun for me.  I've been fighting it long enough!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
