This extra attention will dramatically reduce the time it takes to learn the fretboard.The Step-by-step Learning Process: First, you take stock of notes that you already know so that you can start building on that knowledge. Then, you “travel” around the fretboard to various locations and get to know the notes there. You’ll not only learn patterns and relationships, but will get to know fretboard locations with a story to them.At each step on the journey you practice identifying the notes that you’ve learned. You can even do this away from the course, perhaps while commuting to work or school. Once you can identify notes it’s important to lock in that knowledge. Continue through the course to look at the relationship between chords and scales in various positions. Then take the next step and learn triads and inversions around the guitar fretboard.This method is how I learned, and have successfully used it to teach many guitar students. Take my course and let it work for you too!
