Main ideas
- Quiz one string at a time.
- Use landmark frets like 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, and 12.
- Say the note before you play it.
- Practice both naming and finding.
- A minute a day works better than occasional marathon sessions.
Short drills beat giant cram sessions.
You do not need to memorize the whole fretboard at once. Repeating small drills on open strings, naturals, and root notes helps the map stick much faster.
Open-string notes are highlighted differently from fretted notes, and this lesson highlights its key notes in green.
