So, I'm an idiot and I couldn't for the life of me remember which notes didn't have sharps, even though it's literally two letters out of seven, until - UNTIL, right - until I remembered that episode of The Simpsons where Homer has that barbershop quartet and they're called "The Be Sharps", and B and E are the two notes which don't have sharps. Thanks again, Simpsons, for adding value to my life. And thank you, Kevin, for teaching me how to not get a girlfriend but to sort of muddle through knowing a pentatonic scale.

I've recently bought an electric guitar even though I have no clue about guitars as I play the piano (nothing serious, just amateur) and it was extremely intimidating to wrap my head around the basics and terminology. But you explain everything in the most concise and easy way to understand. Kevin, if you're reading this, and I hope you do... I'm forever grateful for the amazing effort you put up in your videos and I'll be anticipating more videos from you in the future. Your channel is criminally underrated ! Your channel's now on my radar, fucking subscribed mate ! ❤

great video. in addition to this, for D, G and (especially) B strings, you could use "reference points" horizontally. so you learn for example the notes on the 5th fret (except for the 3d string, that you use the 4th fret....at this point you teach that these are notes you use for tuning the other strings) and if you want to know what is the note on the 7th fret, 2nd string, for example, you know that this note is 2 frets higher or 1 whole step higher then the note on the 5th fret 2nd string (E note, which you are going to memorize, because it's the same note as the 1st open string). So you find that note is F#, one whole step higher than E. Anyway, it's a way that I find easier to find the notes on these other strings, especially on the B string. Because with the D and G strings the "octave way" you showed is the most useful.

Another pro tip, when moving across the strings on the same fret, if you find a B note, the next under it on that fret is E, the next string is A, than D, it always spells BEAD. Remember, B, E, A, D, G, C, F. And when ever you're playing any of those notes, going down across the strings always repeats the pattern. I've probably done a horrible job explaining this but eh, there's this idiots 1 good tip lol

I made up song lyrics where each line starts with the letter of the note. So the A string would look like: Apples are tasty, Apples are sharp. Bananas are pointy, Coconuts are hard. Coconut sandwiches are hard to eat, Daikon radishes, aren’t very sweet. etc. For the sharps I make the second word start with an “S” or a “B” for flats. It’s been scientifically proven that the more ridiculous the lyrics are the easier they are to remember.

Memorizing the notes is a lot easier if you know the basics of the piano keys. I would suggest learning the piano keys first that is just ABCDEFG and the half notes in between, and memorizing the fretboard will be a lot easier.
