Memorize the Fretboard in 3 MINUTES!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Fretboard memorization is an essential part of any beginner guitarists journey. While having a grasp of easy guitar chords and scales can help you learn and improve at guitar faster, memorizing the fretboard is a key step to truly understanding guitar... and music!
Problem is, learning about basic guitar theory can be less than exciting, but NOT TODAY. In this video I introduce you to the essentials of memorizing the fretboard from understanding basic scales and octaves, to the relationship between guitar strings.
By the end of this you'll know how to tune your guitar, without a tuner! And the best part is, it's only 3 minutes! Which if you've read this far into the description, I assume has already passed.
So, submerse yourself in this fun animated guitar video, and finally learn all of the notes on the guitar fretboard.
Shoutout to Pixar for helping with this one!
I hope you guys like the change of style, and Happy New Year :)
this is better than SOUL

its not bad but we like more the old style

I'm a total beginner but was encouraged to begin working on memorizing the fret board. I tackle one string at a time. I go up and down the entire string, playing ever note, and say out loud the name of the note. And I do this about ten times every time I practice. You wouldn't believe how quickly you can learn what's seemed impossible when you just start chipping away at it!
Thanks for the tip!! I really helps me:)
did you memorize it entirely? I can’t figure out if I should practice one note at a time or one string at a time? any tips?
@@donniedarko464 do both! I started today, just be consistent for a few weeks
@@donniedarko464 I havne't memorized the entire freboard, but I have the first two strings (and subsequently the high-E string as well) down pretty darn good!
Also, if you know the trick that adjacent to every B, are the notes E A D. So, you can use the word "BEAD" to help you remember where you're at. It helps a lot.
I also only practice this for about five minutes during any practice session. After that amount of time, I move on to other things. Learning science says it's better to parctice things in short bursts, with lots of repetition over a longer periods of time.
Gonna use this now thanks
I picked up guitar at 21 and I thought i would be a rockstar by 26. Still late by industry standard but yeah i wished. Lol
But here i am 33 and just making acoustic covers.
But tbh its more than playing on stage, its all about uplifting yourself and when no ones there for you, you know your six strings wont disappoint.
Keep playing guys. You are one song away from a good day !
"you know your 6strings won't dissapoint"... unless.. It bursts 🥴
on the contrary. I have had multiple E strings snap on me :((
@@audreyb4185 I've had multiple low E strings snap on me. After 3 times, I realized the bridge had metal burrs in it, which were separating the outer coiling of the string from the inside :/
This is very encouraging to hear as I am 21 and just bought my first guitar about a month ago
One song away from a good day is a fine way to live life.
I’ve been playing guitar for 16 years and I still don’t know what’s going on. For anyone needing some encouraging words.
lol
I've been playing it 8 years, and I even don't know the name of chords.
@@alexx4450 pretty sad times Here
Been playing for 11 years and this video lost me when it came to the counting 5 thing.
I have general comprehension of where notes are on the fret board and I have a practical level of knowledge when it comes to music theory .
However when I’m actively playing the instrument, I generally don’t know what particular notes I’m hitting at a given time.
It’s mostly just shapes/patterns combined with fret numbers for me.
@@Mattm182 that's a big same for me.
Been playing for 11 years now and I hard agree that mostly is just shapes/patterns combined with fret numbers lmao.
But I do wanna learn the whole fret so I can play sicker stuff so I'm gonna give this a try!
"Quick, where's A"
"Uhh-"
"Too slow"

Literally same
i’ve never felt more seen
“if you wanna know why... Good Bye” genius i will remember this forever
Uh huh
fyi It's so the highest string goes back to E
Uh... Genius yeh
On a serious note *ba dum tss* I think the main reason is to be able to play chords in an open position
Notice that the G, B and E string strum together form an e minor chord, technically the 1st inversion of that chord but that's beside the point...
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I play guitar for 10 Years now and let me tell you: Ive seen way to many videos where the Creator stumbles on about "the spider" for 10mins. This practice routine can be taught in 1min, for reference. But this video is spot on. Helpful, condensed information delivered in a fun way. Well done, man!
What’s the spider?
@@kylieford546 I found a 1min video that explains it: Just type in "Spiderwalk Guitar Exercise! Build Speed and Accuracy!" in UA-cam.
Certain guitar exercise , good for your fingers, just type
Spider exercise on guitar
NO it not spot on, not even close he said count up or down 5 from B. That includes B, but on the rest of the board you have to count up to six then could back to five. Without knowing the fret board u would be clueless where B is.
I grew up playing piano and didn’t start learning guitar until a few months ago. I learned it by thinking of it as a piano (just arranged a lil differently lol), and the way that you related this video to a keyboard will seriously help me tremendously in the near future - u just sped up my learning by a lot, ty
"music is like math"
you have encouraged me to quit guitar :)

You guys TOTALLY ROCK!!!! I've been playing for only 2 years, but I've made incredible gains everywhere (except in memorizing, or "learning" the fretboard"). I just got MORE out of your 3 minute video than I have gotten out of HOURS of watching other "Memorize the Fretboard Videos" on UA-cam - and that includes my own "Self-Study" where I honestly have kept a printout of the Natural Notes of all 6 stings in front of my video screen for 2 years (while secretly hoping that I would learn something from osmosis - or "videosis").
Thanks again for you terrific (and very honest) video. I am, and will be, forever grateful!!!
🤟🎸
that "BeCause, Everything's Fucked" thing has honestly changed my life I could never remember where the notes that don't get a sharp were but now I do! tyvm sick ass video

You need to take off the strings and write in permanent marker on the fretboard itself.

If you speed it up its under 3 minutes :P
The first and last 30 seconds are warm-up and cool-down.
This 4 minute video helped me more than any guitar lesson I’ve ever taken
For how long I’ve been playing guitar it finally just clicked in my head, I’m so shocked
im confused and feel the urge to throw my guitar out the window
Same😭

It is but just keep playing eventually you will learn all the notes
@@r2xd314 tysm i learned most the chords but this video makes me lose all confidence
Don’t let it scare you...practice and play what u know and you’ll get better trust ;)
Holy crap, when people ask “what’s your learning style” I just need to point them to this video. Short, visual, memorizable, and has steps. Entertaining too! Thanks!
This is simultaneously the most informative and entertaining guitar lesson I've ever seen
At the end of the video I realized the second person has a moustache. Thought he was crying for help the whole time. Lol
I only realised this after reading your comment 😅

Bro that was me😭
BeCause Everything is F cked is actually a good mnemonic rule to remember which notes don't have flats
ikr he's a genius
I use “Let it B E” bc both don’t have sharps. Also let it be from the Beatles (I assumed you understood that but in case you were uncultured...) lol
@@Djerov2 nice now i think F has a sharp !
I think you're confused there bud. B flat is A sharp so B and E do have flats. What they don't have is sharps, but F does have a sharp, see 0:43
Be Cause Everything's Fucked works if you remember that those are the two pairs of notes separated by half step instead of whole step
This video was dumb down enough for me to understand. Thank you 🙏
Hands down, the best on point explanation with the best animation. And yes, my understanding of music is like that mountain of puzzle pieces. Thank you so much for this vid!
I'm a bassist, does this mean I can memorize the fretboard in two minutes?
(The BeCause Everything's Fu- part actually really helped)
Yeah, EADG on bass is the same as EADG on a guitar.
and you don't have to fret over that crazy b string ;)
@@justinwilliams3166 unless it's a 5 string, with a low b!

Honestly thank you so much for this video! I’ve been playing guitar for 15 years and have never memorized the fretboard. Recently I’ve been trying to make my own music and I’m tired of just playing the same basic chords I know. I want to learn how to get what’s in my mind on the guitar. This video was packed with super helpful information and practices all in just 4 mins!

Amazing lesson! Thank you so much! I can watch this over and over and still be entertained AND learn something! I am going to try to learn the fret board now. This was so clear and helpful. Seriously GREAT! And FUN!!!
I basically already know all the notes but i still watched this anyways, and man this is the best ive ever seen anyone teach it lol, you basically just simplified music theory to the point where a 5 year old can learn it haha

So iconic.
Sad because Eddie Van Halen
Saw another video about and it was good, but the guy promised a free pdf about that and it was for members only…
But you talked about the same subject in a better way, much faster and absolutely for free. Thanks mate, I really appreciate that since I’m studying the guitar for the first time like FOR REAL, open my mind (alongside my joint) and helped me understand even better tf I’m doing at that instrument. Cheers from Brazil.
From a guy who makes 40-minute technical videos on guitar, this video is a masterpiece.
Extremely well done. I really mean it. 🤙

@@user-vy2zb3jx1y He says flat and shows the flag of Saskatchewan (one of the Canadian provinces) and Saskatchewan is so flat you can watch a dog run away for days. It's a stereotype based on the province's geography (flat lands).

I've been playing guitar and teaching myself for years and I already knew the notes on the fret but I had to really spend time thinking which note is which. Your advice of practicing every note in the fred is pure gold. Thanks
This!

@@Humiliated1234 you can know the note by ear

This was a really good tutorial, I actually managed to memorize the fret board!
Now to get a guitar...
Naah, I think I'll just memorize those 15-20 solos I love and lead a happy life.

I was skeptical at first and then... mind blown! This is effervescently transcendental. It made me smile and want more. Subscribed!
I subbed about three seconds in. When you made the analogy with the computer keyboard is was sold
That is actually much more useful than I have expected. Has been playing guitar for years, learning and improving (not mastering tho) different techniques but never tried to dive into a music theory. Seems it's about time to try to not learn particular songs or melodies but to understand what I am doing in general and what nore I am picking here and there. Thank you!
You're delivery is frikin' hilarious. For some reason the kinda lo-fi ,unrefined audio and pictures is awesome. You've inspired me to actually learn the fretboad after 20 g'd years. I took lesons back in the day. I know basic theory but this inspires me to actually learn it now.
I'm about to start with playing guitar and this, my man, was stellar.
I needed to give my dad reasons why i wanna play and some basic info, this is gonna help. I appreciate it so much man
how's the guitar journey coming along?
this is the most confusing video I've ever watched
Agreed 👍
Long story short, learn one note all over the fretboard per day. Repeat until fretboard memorized.
It's actually terrible.

Thanks a lot!
ive been playing guitar for 18 years and didnt know this until now. ty for this video. it acrually worked.
Please come back and make more videos like this it’s the first video that made my add brain really comprehend the information 😭💖
I've been at it learning guitar seriously for about 3 years now and it doesn't come naturally to me either. I have to constantly drill everything I've learned into my brain with repetition. The Fret markers help a lot when it comes to quick note recognition. I at this point do have at least half the strings down pretty well.
Love it! Super entertaining. Good overlooked thought for many guitarists.
Love this teaching style. Thank you!
This is the first video I have understood the fretboard with, I’ve been struggling learn we’re every note is until this video, thank you doode!
I’m a pianist and what he’s saying is amazing based on chord theory. Even though it was fast, watch like 5 seconds a day and practice and you’ll make great progress
What? Maybe the most simple theory ever, & nobody is going to memorize the fretboard from this. Playing piano will help you memorize the fretboard tho, that's how I did it, but this is actually the best way... ua-cam.com/video/PJddQ6Q0UDo/v-deo.html
I was not convinced by the video, but I'm convinced by your comment. I've been playing for many years, I never needed to memorize fretboard. I kinda know which note is where from intuition. And I can play anything from ear. But I see the application. It can be useful for making chords, or applying music theory.
In regards to the guitar's tuning, I believe the reason for the B-string being tuned differently than the others (tuned to the 4th fret of the adjacent lower string instead of 5th fret like all other guitar strings) is so that you end up with a 24 note span between the lowest string and highest instead of 25 notes and therefore an even two octaves (low E string and high E string). This allows chords to be played across all 6 strings. And as far as why the 4 fret jump didn't happen between the highest two strings, since most chord types contain a perfect 5th from the root note (chords types such as major, minor, 7th chords, sus, power chord, etc), it makes sense to preserve the root/5th relationship of the E and B strings so that they can always be played at the same fret, allowing for barre chords.
Could someone transcribe this in meme plz
Woooosssshhhhhhhh...... straight over my head. Got metal nailed - E5 power chord - either palm muted or not. Everything else is incidental;-)
This is incredibly helpful/insightful, especially coming back to it more than once.
Plus he sounds so attractive.
Thank you for this video! This helped me a lot and I’m excited to learn more!
That was great! Really educational and entertaining at the same time
The analogy of the keyboard is actually really good because the way you learn to type is by typing without looking at the keyboard and for the guitar it's the same thing
