Fellow students,  I've recently been trying to memorise all the notes on the fretboard.  I've been using this "Fretboard Trainer" internet game and I think I'm seeing some improvement.  I'd recommend it.

How did you learn/are learning the notes?  Any other suggestions?  Thanks!  ?

Thanks Sara for the entry - thats a good topic for a tutorial. I think I make one on that today.

 Thank you, HP!  I really appreciate it.  

Thank-you Sara ... much appreciated!!

Oh I forget that one.... I will be on that very soon.

Hello everyone. Learning the notes on the fretboard seemed such a huge task to me. So many to remember. My biggest progress came when I put together what I already knew. I knew what each string was played open. I knew each fret was half a step. I knew it was only half a step between B and C, also half a step between E and F. Between all others are full steps. Starting with the open string note I can go in the same order I learned when I was very young. Only difference; when I get to G, start over again on A. I can make little exercises for myself. Figuring out what each note is in a scale I am playing, finding the root note of cords ect. Hope this helps. For me the act of finding them myself, makes them easier to remember.

Well it's somehow an easy system. It's A B C D E F G and if a note is augmented it gets a # and lowered a b - Here a list of the  notes of the first 3 strings.

6th - string ( E ) :
E / F / F# , Gb / G / G# , Ab / A / A# , Bb / B / C / C# , Db / D / D# , Eb / E
5th . string ( A ) :
A / A# , Bb / B / C / C# , Db / D / D# , Eb / E / F / F# , Gb / G / G# , Ab / A
4th . string ( D ) :
D / D# , Eb / E / F / F# , Gb / G / G# , Ab / A / A# , Bb / B / C / C# , Db / D

on the G, B and E string just start on those notes...

Thank you - I'll give it a try.  I appreciate your help.  ?
