Reply to Virtual Guitar Fretboard by mutedio

This is cool but seriously guys do yourself a favor and learn one octave. Just one. Major or minor, pentatonic or diatonic it doesn't matter. Start with what you use most. Country: Major Diatonic. Everything else: Minor Pentatonic.

Memorize ONE OCTAVE using scale degrees. Then practice moving that around the guitar. Notice what the "Line-O-Confusion" does to the scale. That's the G-B string tuning.

Once you have the first octave you can tackle the second.

As for fretboard knowledge? Pick one fret per week to quiz yourself on. Just keep cycling through he frets. If that doesn't make you want to stab your eyes you can add reviewing all the root notes in the song you're practicing currently. Reviewing is the word. Not finding. Finding is useless outside the fact that it allows you to begin reviewing.

Source: Guitar teacher for 20 years. I've witnessed the difference between the one octave approach and the "fretboard map" approach first hand with hundreds, maybe thousands, of students.

I'm currently editing a Top Gun Theme lesson to illustrate this point. The theme is easy. The point of the lesson is to understand scales and the fretboard better. If anyone is curious that should be up on my channel in about a week. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTMlZtDH0kP1ozHv9DJnPsg

Nice super-specific Amazon benefits ad my guy. Totally not sketchy at all

I’m sure you can take them up on that benefits offer after 50-60 hours of warehouse work. Or 50-60 hours of peeing in bottles and pooping in bags. Learn to code after getting those crumbs.

These workers are being abused. My friend was abused. And people like you are so weak they can’t even fathom that something is wrong
