Lecture 2: Locating The Notes On The Neck (part 1)

Fretboard visualisation begins with being able to instantly locate any note, anywhere on the neck. Note recall is an essential skill to have. In order to play scales, chords, triads and arpeggios, we first need be able to find our root notes.

The next 3 lessons serve as single-note finding exercises. If you feel confident that your note locating skills are already in good shape, feel free to skip this and the following two lessons and move onto learning the CAGED system.
