    Carry 2 dice in your pocket, 6 sided and a 12 sided, roll randomly through the day, use the 6 for the string and 12 for the fret and turn it into a game, you will learn the fretboard very fast because the repetition will force your brain to move the information from short term memory to long term. Try this 10x a day for 2 weeks, you won't believe how fast you start to see it just after 2 or 3 days

      I like the idea. I know I have a 12 sided, 20 sided, 8 sided, and 4 sided dice from my old school advanced dungeons and dragons days laying around here somewhere...

      Where do I get 6-12 sided dice?

    • @benhikingoutdoors1632
      @benhikingoutdoors1632 Před 9 měsíci +2

      Can you further elaborate? I understand the 12 sided dice to choose the fret but its the 6 sided dice I am not understanding. So if you rolled a 4.... are you using 4 strings? Which ones?

  • @The_Jaganath
    @The_Jaganath Před 7 měsíci +9

    Great video - The way I learned the E string was to associate the natural notes with the fret numbers, hopefully might help some people. F-1 (Formula 1) G-3 (Like the G3 Summit) A-5 (like the paper size) B-7 (like the vitamin) C-8 (The name Cate, like Cate Blanchett) and D-10 (using the word 'Detention').

    Genius. I never caught 'BEAD' in all the time I struggled to learn the Fretboard. It's one of those 'you can't unsee it now'. Also love the BC, EF trick of the squares. You are extremely creative and a master of pattern recognition. Love it!

    You have successfully blown my mind. Been trying to memorise the fretboard for the longest time, starting from A and E but this has just flipped the concept of "Just memorise bro" on its head. Just perfect.

    Good evening Mr. Comiskey! I must thank you for posting this. I've been playing guitar for exactly 30 years now and I always got hung up on unlocking the fretboard UNTIL seeing this! I knew a few basics but always reverted to noodling or playing songs I knew instead of really applying myself to learn the notes properly. Your method makes it all so much easier. Sincerely, thanks man!

  • @davidreally2639

  • @CKwealthcreator
    @CKwealthcreator Před 10 měsíci +3

    I've just found this resource and thank you - I don't want to hijack the topic but let me say another useful pattern is when I memorized the E strings then THE SAME notes are on the D string but 2 frets UP (towards the bridge) - so learning the E strings gives you 3 strings or half the board under your belt.

    Thank you!! The square thing really helps. I've been having trouble memorizing the D, G & B strings and was using the relationship to the E & A string as a guide. It's like some weird math formula that takes some time to compute. Not really the way to go when doing solos

    I like your story style. Like you said stories stick with you. I’ve been trying for many years now and I still can’t play guitar. It’s as if I have a mental road block about learning guitar. If it’s a tv show or movie, I can tell you everything that happened and can pretty much recite the dialogue. For me guitar is very difficult because so many things are happening at once. The right hand and left hand coordination, the strumming pattern, the timing, etc. So keep the stories coming. 👍🏻

  • @skintslots
    @skintslots Před 10 měsíci

    I genuinely hadn't realised the side to side B and C and E and F connection other than frets 6 and 5. That is useful,as is the FB,FB trick too. Mnemonics work well for me so this is an extra aid. It is much easier than the 729507 for B and the 072950 for E memorisation trick.

    • @tjburr1968
      @tjburr1968 Před 7 měsíci +2

      One thing that always helped me and is obvious to anyone who tunes the guitar using the 5th frett sound technique. The fith fret is the name of string below it and the 7th fret is the name of the string above it with the 1 fret difference of B string. This gives a logical starting check point for anyone trying to learn notes both in the 1-5 frett and 7-12 frett range.

    Hey Ricky, I just came across this video and today is the day I bought my first ever acoustic guitar. I am all excited to learn. I have been going through guitar videos and couldn't figure out which ones are the right ones. I am sure in a way they all are. But they all kinda teach A minor without explaining what is Aminor and why it is called so. I just subscribed to your channel purely because of the gut feeling that I'll get the concepts right. Is there a first video or a playlist which I could go throug from your channel? Also, how would you suggest practising guitar for a person who works 12 hour job. Its currently 4:21 am in India and though I am desperate to get to bed, this is what is keeping me awake. I guess I am rambling now. Reply if and when you can. Thanks.

    Another way to recall the notes of any fret is learn the notes on 6th string and the circle of 4ths, Eg. say the 3rd fret, do the circle of 4ths for the top 4 strings G,C,F,Bb, then on the 2nd string go to the 5th (right) of the starting note so D and then a 4th again finishing on the starting note G. For a G,C,F,Bb,D,G.

    • @rickysguitar
      @rickysguitar  Před 10 měsíci +1

      This is a powerful way of learning the fretboard. I did a video ages ago but it's still relevant. This approach is part of what I call the fretboard Matrices (videos coming soon on this!) czcams.com/video/nXN7hYNMfhA/video.html
