Exercises To Help Remember Each Note |
Headstock||E|-F-|-F#/Gflat-|-G-|-G#/Aflat-|-A-|-A#/Bflat-|-B-|-C-|-C#/dflat-|-D-|-D#/Eflat-|12th fret. What could I play to help me memorise all of the strings and the root notes? Say, if I wanted to find all the F's. I remember the first one is: up a tone and down two strings, to D, 3rd fret. Second one is up a tone and a half and up two stings, to B, 6th fret. But, what could I play to help me remember them? ------------------- ![]() "A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view." Wilma Askinas. | |

Use shapes and patterns, easy ones are learning octave and fifths.

Are you wanting to memorize notes so that you can read notation? If so I could possibly draw up some sheets to help with that.
But moving on, I'd recommend this structure: Start with memorizing the first five frets of each string, possibly limiting yourself to just the lower four strings. Once you have the bottom four memorized comfortably, that's when you should try incorporating the B string. Learning it separately of the bottom four is recommended as it's a major third off from the G string, instead of a fourth. With that, you shouldn't have any trouble with the high E string. If you get a handle on all that (it will take time/dedication) then start working on the 6-10 frets, which will mirror the first five frets of the string directly above what you're playing on (except the G string, of course). quoteI don't see how this will be of much help, as you'd have to learn all of the notes in the scale that you're playing on. It does help to learn your harmonic intervals, and to know how to access them easily, but it's never helped me learn the notes on the fingerboard necessarily... of course it'd help if I read sheets when playing classical/bass guitar.

I play guitar for my school's jazz band. And how I did it was I memorized what each dotted/whatever symbol you have on a fret note. Like 3rd, 5th, 7th, etc. Once you memorize them, the other ones are usually just a half step away. And if you're reading notation there isn't too many situations that go beyond the 12th fret of any string.
