A Guitar Lesson To Help You Test Your Note Knowledge

In this guitar lesson we look at a great way to test your note knowledge of the guitar fretboard. But before we look at that, why even bother learning the notes

Knowing the notes on your guitar fretboard is an essential skill. Here are a FEW of the benefits that youll gain if you have fantastic guitar fretboard knowledge…

1. Youll learn how to apply music theory to the guitar much more quickly. In my opinion theres no point learning music theory if you cant PLAY it!

2. Your creativity will increase. Youll be able to think of new and unique ways of playing chords and scales. If you dont know the notes on the guitar fretboard, youll be stuck playing the same chord and scale fingerings that everyone uses.

3. Youll become a better musician. Great musicians dont just think in terms of chord shapes or scale fingerings. They think in terms of NOTES.

4. Youll save yourself hundreds if not thousands! of hours of frustration. By knowing the notes on the fretboard youll be able to understand, learn and memorize things faster.

Pretty powerful benefits right

So…how do we know if our note knowledge is good enough Heres a great way of finding out…

Note Knowledge Test:

Step 1:

Please turn on your metronome and set it to 120 beats-per-minute.

Step 2:

Decide on a note that you will work on.

Step 3:

Find that note on the thickest string in all possible locations. One note location per

click of the metronome.

Step 4:

Without pausing, repeat the process on all the other strings.

Step 5:

Repeat steps 2-4 for all the other notes.

How did you go Did you find it hard or easy

If you couldnt do it easily, then you have some work to do. I would recommend setting aside 10 minutes a day to work on memorizing the notes of the fretboard. Within a few short weeks, you should have it nailed. Good luck!
