Learning The Guitar Fretboard
I never cease to be amazed at the number of guitar players who
cannot name the notes on their fretboard. Little do they know that by
devoting a little time to unlocking the neck of their guitar they will
improve their playing, and enjoyment of the instrument, ten fold!!
During my time at the Guitar Institute in London, and Sandown
College Of Performing Arts in Liverpool, I met many guitarists who had
been playing for 10, 15 or even 20 years, and yet, unbelievably,
couldn’t show me where to find an A# on the 2nd string or a B natural
on the 5th string. My amazement prompted me to write the “Fretboard
Master” ebook.
The “Fretboard Master” ebook contains all you need to know in order
to become a master of the fretboard. What do we mean when we say master
of the fretboard? Well, it doesn’t mean that you will suddenly start
sounding like Steve Vai, Segovia or Jimi Hendrix! A fretboard master is
somebody who feels comfortable with their guitar, Somebody that can
find any note on any string within a second and somebody that can
transpose a piece of music on the spot. That is a fretboard master.
Many guitar players are usually only interested in learning hot
licks or funky chords. That is good, as long as they also take time out
to study the layout of the fretboard. The old saying “The proof is in
the pudding,” is so true when it comes to stating the importance of
fretboard mastery. Once you start familiarising yourself with the notes
on the neck of the guitar you will quickly discover how important it
is. It will be like somebody has switched on a big musical light that
shows you exactly what you have been missing. You will feel like a
better player, look like a better player, inevitably sound like a
better player and more importantly…..WILL BE a better player!!
Imagine learning a really cool chord progression, a red hot lick or
a head turning funky guitar riff. You have spent hours practising it
and you are now ready to unleash it on your band members. You play it,
and they are all amazed at your stunning technique. They shake your
hand, ruffle your hair, maybe even give you a shoulder lift around the
rehearsal room. You feel great! Then when the fuss dies down, the bass
player asks “Can you play that again in F#?” What? F#? You begin to
sweat, your palms itch, your head races. Where’s F#? you ask yourself.
Too late! The drummer drops you from the shoulder lift and you hit the
earth with a bang!! Ouch!! You blew it! You should have learnt your
fretboard.
Take a tip from me. Whether you are just starting out or have been
playing for a number of years, you need to learn you fretboard. There’s
no way round it. Do it today and who knows, maybe the next time you
learn a cool guitar lick your drummer want drop you on the floor!
