![]() ![]() Then move on to the B-Shape:Īs you clearly see, there are only two more notes to learn here. ![]() Use the same "learn and forget" method to teach yourself this one. To learn this pattern you only have to ad two notes to the four notes you already master. You must create a pattern that only has dots and no names. You cannot learn the notes just by looking at this pattern. If you can, take a two hour break - then come back to it. But you can go through this process in a couple of hours: Spend 3 minutes memorizing the pattern, then forget about it, then see if you can still remember it an hour later. Now of course it's important that you learn and forget it, learn it and forget it until you don't forget it anymore. How much time do you think need in order to learn this pattern?: Then you can look at that paper and visualize the names of the notes whenever you have 10 seconds to spare. You might want to take a piece of paper and draw a big version of these four notes without the names on them. Now teach yourself to name any note with this four note shape. It's obvious to spot them in the B-shape and you'll see them in the E-shape as well. These four notes repeat themselves in the other two patterns. Start by focusing only on this part of the A-shape: And if you master the A-shape first, the other ones will be quite easy because they contain the same pattern. As always, focus on mastering one before you go on to another. This gives you an A-shape, a B-shape and an E-shape. Draw up one of the shapes on a piece of paper, but only put a name on the first note like this: ![]() Here's how to learn these notes in the fastest way possible:ġ. Because you can always find one of these shapes where ever you are. When you master the A-Minor/C-Major scale and you can name the notes instantly within these three patterns, then you know all the notes of the fretboard. Now the next step is to learn the notes within these three little patterns: It will be ten times easier to learn the other keys when you master this one first. Don't practice playing in any other key until this one is thoroughly embedded in your brain. If you don't feel very confident at this yet, be sure to stay in that key for a month or two. But it will only work as well as your ability to visualize the A-Minor/C-Major scale. Well here's the simplest and easiest way to do this. When I started this series of articles I promised you that if you stayed in the key of A-Minor/C-Major long enough, I would teach you to name any note on the fretboard in as little as a day. How to visualize every note on the fretboard ![]()
