@@nadhemjallouli1418 Gotcha. Guitars and lutes have always been tuned in 4ths with one third in the middle. I think its because its the formula that allows for the most comfortable playing positions for many chords. People simply tried many different tunings and stumbled upon this one. They kept it because it worked:)

Your camera work , your set design and your color scheme is out of the world. The deep blue background gives the video a rich look. Blue is my favorite color. The two yellow bulbs seen on both side of your face with their green yellow glow gives depth to the shot. The yellow lamp shade is a nice touch. The color of your shirt is in complete contrast to everything around you. And the fact that the light falling on you does not fall on and is not reflected by the background is excellent.

yes. learning all the notes on the fretboard in standard tuning by heart will open up a lot of new possibilities even tho one might not see them right away. also then proceeding to learn all (or the most common for a start) interals in relation to a root position will also go a long way and function as a solid foundation to build on. Simply add 10-15 min. of fretboard memorization work to your usual practice routine every day. Even though it might just seem like mundane memorization work at first over time you'll have a solid map of the fretboard hardcoded into your brain. Intervals and root note positions are literally THE foundation to everything else.

A practice that really helped me memorize notes all over the neck was identifying B and C everywhere for like 2 weeks every day, and then moving on to E and F since they're the only natural notes that have no whole step between them. From there D, G, A become easier to spot in relationship. But you still wanna practice them because it will only set you up to move on to the sharp and flat key's much easier, and it's all easier said than done, so take it one step at a time. A little bit everyday goes a long way.

I started with G like a month ago on ukulele, guitar and guitalele. (I call this "Find the Note") Definitely has been progress on the fretboard. I have a long way to go. --- It's slow because my memory has always been trash for anything like this, but I agree taking it a step at a time definitely does the trick. --- Starting with the two odd notes out, like you did, is a good idea.

Bro, u just taught me more on the guitar in 5 minutes then i've learned in 20 years. Like u said, i knew what a number of them were up to the 6-7th fret, in my case, the first 2 strings up to the 9th fret cuz that is where ur index finger falls on power chords, and i knew there was a sequence to them repeating but didn't know how they repeated, or until now, how easily they repeated. This is what i've always known i needed to know in order to for instance: playing solos, hammering and pulling off to other strings but to the same notes as ur buddy plays/switches those same notes/chords. Not only that, knowing this will allow me to further advance my playing further then once again: anything i've learned in 20 years. I am eternally grateful for this. Moreover, it made me feel like i can still progress and learn and for that I can't thank you enough. Subscribed. Tru story, when i "got it", when it hit me, i jumped out of my seat, literally repeating in my head: "I now know every note on the fret board, omg". Or more precisely, i've been given a tool to be able to "find" every note on the fretboard and can therefore memorize, something a true sensei does instead of just giving u a blatant sheet with all the notes. U are a true Master, i am the apprentice and i think i may be about 12-13 years older then u. Proving that it isn't about age. Thank you so much, I'm done now, lol.

This information is very important. For really learning and remembering the notes on the fretboard, I used guitar flash cards and tested myself with the flash cards every day. After you see the notes on the flash cards enough times, you can look at a piece of music, see a note, and know immediately where that note is on the guitar. Testing yourself with the cards that show each note and the name of each note was the most effective way for me. They’re sold on Amazon.

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist.

for the people in the comments, he’d explaining ho the fret works...that’s what desmistifying means... there is no shortcut for learning the notes, but study and practice, practice and practice... learning, anything, has no shortcuts... different learning techniques, but at the end it all comes to memory and practice

Also, the same note in the same octave usually appears multiple times on the fretboard. For example, the 7th fret on the A string is E 3, as is the 2nd fret on the D string. How do you decide which one to play?

@@duran3d That should work in theory, I've personally never been able to sort it out, though. On a piano, I have exactly one key that'll sound E 3; on a guitar, I've got 4 different ways to play the same note. Maybe I'll give it another try when my arm heals and I can play again. Cheers!

I wondered about the fretboard today while doing the warm-ups from your guitar tips video. So, I came to your channel looking for your video on the fretboard. This is exactly what I needed to help me understand the fretboard better. Thank you, Brandon. Also, special thanks to Rob Scallon, I discovered you through his videos!

But what is the difference between the same notes in different strings? How do you know which one to play?
@chongshaohong29694 жыл бұрын
The tone is different, and your left hand can only stretch so far on the fretboard.
@stratocactus4 жыл бұрын
Note is the same but they don't sound exactly the same (same frequency but not same harmonics). Generally, the context of the note will tell you which one to play. For example, you play a G on 6th string 3rd fret. Next note is a D. You can play it on 5th string 5th fret OR 4th string open. Try it and you'll hear the difference. And depending on the following note after those G and D, you'll find one of them easier to articulate all together. I'm no professional but that's what works for me.
@jgrossma4 жыл бұрын
Same note on different string will have a slightly different tone. Which string you play on is often obvious by context of where the other notes in the piece are being played. If unclear, sheet music for classical guitar may indicate which string a given note is intended to be played on by a number with a circle around it. If not, its up you to YOU the guitarist to decide which way works best for YOU based on technical ease of playing or tonal considerations. All else being equal same note in lower positions generally sounds better and is preferred.

Hey, thank you. I really knew nothing about notes before until I watched this. Notes to me felt intimidating that I always thought I just did not have the talent whatsoever in music or that my brain just wouldn't get it. I hope there will be more guitar tips from you. You're really good at explaining and make it sound simpler.

I had trouble learning the frets past fret 5. I knew the mathematical relations. I tried playing scales, name the notes on the frets as I played them, but I never really GOT it, to be able to look at a fret and instantly feel its note. That change when I decided to try learning the 6+ frets like I did with 1-5... by simply playing music. I took Sor's Opus 60, 5-10, and simply played it using frets 6-10, just by looking at the regular sheet music. This taught me the notes almost instantly, within those 5 songs I had them all memorized by heart. I'd recommend this method to anyone having trouble memorizing the frets. Also with frets 1-5, just suck it up, dump the tabs, and play sheet music for something simple, like Sor's Opus 60 1-10. You never have to go past the 5th fret. Each fret within the first 3 frets corresponds to a note on the treble clef
