Table of Contents
Having the fretboard memorized with the ability to recall the location of notes at any given time, is a skill that can benefit all kinds of guitar players, regardless of skill level. Though the idea of fretboard memorization may seem inherently simple, it is both useful and relevant to all guitarists.
Here are just a few of the reasons why you might benefit from memorizing the fretboard:
The fretboard will seem less intimidating when you improvise or learn your notes (improvising is creating and playing a melody, solo, or chord progression, whether alone or with a band, without having any sheet music or tablature in front of you ).
It helps us to emphasize and create sonic changes within our melodies, solos, and chords.
It allows us to get a better grasp on scales, as we learn the different kinds.
It allows you to break free from regular open chords and barre chords so that you can locate smaller, more intricate chord voicings.
With that being said, we are going to assume that you are taking your first steps into the world of guitar at this moment and have little or no knowledge with the guitar or the concepts that surround it.
Thank you for choosing our fretboard memorization book! The concepts and techniques that weve put together are here to help you move closer towards your goal as a great guitarist!
To get you started, there are a few guitar parameters that you need to have an understanding of:
A standard guitar has anywhere from 21-24 frets
A standard guitar has six strings moving from lowest to highest in pitch
Each fret represents a movement of one half-step within the 12 notes of the western musical alphabet
As you venture further into this book, take note that we are not providing you with exercises, playing techniques, or lessons on general music theory. Instead, this book is purely intended for developing mental recall of the fretboard through visualization and memorization techniques.
One of the most important things to develop when memorizing the fretboard is something we like to call spatial awareness.
Spatial awareness is the idea of focusing on the visual relationship between the fretboard of the guitar and the musical alphabet. Whether you have your guitar with you or not, you should be able to practice the methods we discuss in this book.
Remember to take things slow.
One of the biggest struggles for new guitarists is the desire to quickly become an expert. Unfortunately, speed and efficiency are not always friends when it comes to learning any instrument. We advise you to take things slow: be sure that you have a good grasp of the techniques we are discussing in one section before moving on to the next section.
Now, before we get into fretboard memorization techniques, lets make sure that you have a decent understanding of musical notes.
A musical note shows the pitch and duration of a sound.
Pitch is how high or low a note sounds. Sound is made up of waves, or vibrations, which occur at different speeds. If the frequency or speed of a wave vibrates faster, then the pitch of that note will be higher.
This is why the high string on your guitar sounds higher in pitch than the low string on your guitar, and vice versa.
While we dont want to get too deep into scales in this book, it is worth talking about them briefly so that you have an idea of the notes were talking about.
We've got specific pitches in music that make up our standard notes. The chromatic scale, which is a series of 12 notes that ascend or descend in half-step increments, is an important scale for all musicians to know.
Essentially, the scale helps us to name every note on the fretboard of the guitar, one by one, in succession.
The notes in the chromatic scale look a little like this:
C | C#/Db | D | D#/Eb | E | F | F#/Gb | G | G#/Ab | A | A#/Bb | B | C |
The seven natural notes in typically western music are C, D, E, F, G, A, B .
The small # and symbols (sharp and flat, respectively) that you see between the notes are known as accidentals .
Put the seven natural notes and the accidentals in the right order, and you will have the 12 possible notes in the chromatic scale.
As you can see from the diagrams above, this chromatic sequence starts on the note C and ends on the note C , one octave higher.
Like we said earlier, we can think of the chromatic scale as a way of moving up and down the series of musical notes in the smallest possible increments. A sharp (#) is one half-step up from a natural note, while a flat () is one half-step down from a natural note.
Depending on the musical context, these altered notes can either be seen as sharp notes or flat notes.
