How to Learn All Notes on Your Guitar (Without Memorizing)

[@Simenotnes]

Heyyy and thanks for watching! And the 3rd of November, I'm launching the success path on playwithaplan.com . This will be the most structured way possible of learning guitar. It will be good. can't wait to share it 😎

This is a very good tip!

Glad it was helpful!

Cool trick using octave shapes to find notes.

[@Simenotnes]

Cheers! And it's very effective. And the fun thing is that when you use this approach for a while, you start to automatically remember all the notes. This is actually the main way I learned the notes of the fretboard.

@@Simenotnes What did your practice routine look like for learning the notes using octave shapes??

[@Simenotnes]

​@@jeremymusic6544 I've actually never had it in my practice routine! I've just used it whenever I needed to find some notes. And after using it for a long time, I started to eventually remember where the notes are. It's not a bad idea to practice it a bit more actively to learn it faster though. Here's the approach I'd suggest: 1. Understand how to find all notes on each string. So not memorizing, just understanding how to find the notes (A, B, C, D, E, F, G). And it's actually not that hard once you know it. Cause all those notes have one note in between, except of B/C and E/F. So from that information, I know I would get these notes on the A string: A - A# - B - C - C# - D - D# - E - F - F# - G - G# - A. 2. Memorize the notes of the two lowest strings. 3. Then practice with octave shapes. This could for example be to find one note on all strings (as I do it in the video). Hope that helps!

One question on that approach. Do it help in learning the triads?

[@Simenotnes]

Triads can be useful for other things for sure, but not directly for this approach 😊

@@Simenotnes Thanks. I agree with this method you have and it works. Knowing where the actual note is at, proves to be more applicable. I'm getting there, but it's a work in progress. Thanks for your time.
