Learn to Memorize the Guitar Fretboard in Less Than 24 Hours!

Dean: Good book reading it still to this day. Several times over and I like it a lot and again. It's an affordable item that uh, you can use and always review over things and it's very well put together.

Jim Short: I've been working this book for five minutes a day for about two weeks. At five minutes a day, 24 hours is 288 days. I'll definitely have the fretboard memorized by then! The book explains some basic things about how the fretboard is laid out, and then provides various methods to find notes relative to other notes. I already knew quite a bit of it but the full set of "tricks" is very powerful. At first it's just how to find out what a note is based on relation to other notes but after a while I'm just knowing them all. I'm stoked.

Mr. G. Mcallister: This was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be . If you want to learn guitar I think you should know the fretboard. The author cuts it down into little pieces at a time ,and the results are brilliant.I’ve achieved something in a few days that I thought only seriously good guitarist could do.

Hell Run: I consider this book a good investment, for novices, like me. Of course, if you are a musician with some experience, probably this book will not add anything to you, as a guitarist. But that’s not my case and thousands more. That’s why every publication has a target audience.
This is not the holy grail to control a guitar. But it is one of the main components, at least for me, because besides being able to do things, I like to understand the mechanics behind. And that’s what this book explains: using some almost childish tricks (I still remember the “Goat Ate the Bag” thing 😁) it does what it says: gives you simple tools to quickly understand the musical organization of a fretboard. It is something that sooner or later, anyone interested in playing a guitar, will miss. In 24 hours? Well, considering that anyone committed to learn how to play an instrument, should dedicate at least one hour per day, I would say that it will take less than the 24h. But it’s better to go slowly and ensure that each stage is well understood. That will pay. I recommend this book to all the novices in this subject.

Jeff H.: As a brand new player (less than 8 weeks on the guitar), and this book actually worked for me. I should caveat that I'm a horrible reader because of my short attention span, so I tend to just skim things and then come back and read it a couple more times after I've thought about it. So I think in total I had the entire pattern/sequence down after a just 2-3 hours of combined hours of reading (and thought). I'm not super fast on calling out the notes just yet, but I can name any note on the fretboard after just a few seconds of counting.

Once the light bulb comes on and you have that "ah ha!" moment (which will probably be before you even reach page 18), you'll see it too. This book works!

Landon Beaulieu: This book teaches you how to memorize the fretboard in way less than 24 hours, it took me 9 minutes and I can easily play each fret and call out the note for each one accurately.

You only need to get to page 17 of the book and the light bulb should go on for you, from there it's just bonus material to further hone your ability to connect the dots and turn the newfound knowledge of the notes on the fretboard into music.

When I say I memorized each note, I mean each and every note on every fret available on my guitar including sharp or flat semitones. I found the semitones most daunting before I read and understood this type of basic music theory.

If you are new to playing guitar, this is helpful, it's a different perspective on the frets and each note that you won't find on youtube, I've watched thousands of videos and never heard anyone mention this method.

Do yourself a favor if you are brand new to playing guitar, get yourself a chromatic tuner that attaches to your guitar, try to get one that can identify sharp / flat semitones this way you can get visual feedback while you are playing each note, this way you can confirm each note while you are...

ATP: First I would like to say that I rarely write reviews, however that being said I believe that when something is worthy of recognition and useful to its audience by aiding others such as myself then it deserves a positive review and then some.
I have been playing guitar for 40 years repeating most of the same bad habits and errors and same old chords and riffs reworked every which way I knew how and always feeling a little lost as to what I was really playing and while I could hear proper progressions in my head I would be fumbling all over the fret board finding those notes and being most unsatisfied losing the melody in the process and then being accepting of my limitations just would move on repeating all over again. TILL NOW!
In the last year I also began playing piano and because of it's linear layout it made it much clearer to understand music but guitar was still a mess of confusion being that the fret board is by no means clearly logical at first glance as a piano layout is. So I ordered this book expecting no more than the many other books I attempted to learn from over the years and at best hoped for a droplet or two of new knowledge. Much to my surprise within only...
