To reach your full potential as a guitarist, you need to master the fretboard. It is a vital skill which brings many benefits. For the lucky few, it may naturally develop over a long period of time; however, for the majority of us, it is a specific skill which needs to be practiced.
Imagine being able to use the whole fretboard with complete confidence allowing you to:
1. Dramatically improve your sight reading, improvisation, and transposing skills
2. Play scales using the entire fretboard, knowing both the names of the notes within each scale and what intervals and scale degrees they represent
3. Understand harmony and chord progressions
4. Play chords using the entire fretboard, knowing both the names of the notes within each chord and what intervals and scale degrees they represent
5. Play a piece, chord progression, lick, riff, rhythm chop, or solo in any position, rather than just the position in which you learnt it
6. Play with increased confidence as your left-hand moves with speed because you know where all the notes are without having to think
7. Read standard music notation with ease
Without these skills, your practice sessions may be frustrating as you attempt to memorise notes, chords and scales without ever realising how they all fit together. This book addresses the first stage of fretboard mastery, namely learning the notes on the fretboard.
If you are working through a method book that is teaching you how to read standard music notation then you may feel that you already have a good handle on learning the fretboard. However, there is a big difference between being able to locate notes in a short period of time (by reference to other notes, strings, and frets) and being able to visualize the entire fretboard in your mind’s eye.
It is far better to spend a reasonable amount of time and effort to learn the fretboard thoroughly than to spend a lifetime of hunting and pecking as you struggle to locate notes.
