How to memorize the notes on the fretboard

[@whitewalker608]

Should I really learn the fretboard vertically? Right now, I just pick a note and play it on every string until I have memorized it. If learning vertically is helpful, is there an effective way to do it?

Yes I think it’s worth it. Horizontally is important, but It’s equally as important to learn vertical notes. It’s best to learn the vertically notes in one position at a time. Start with frets 0-3 position, then 3-7 then 8-11

and as I said in the video learn the notes of C major first. So you can visualize the patterns. Accidentals should be learned after you know all the natural notes.
