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

Where do I get 6-12 sided dice?

@benhikingoutdoors1632

11 ай бұрын

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?

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').

yo wtf this is great. I already know where these notes are, but these would have been super helpful lol

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!

Ricky, you are simply the best in explaining the guirar notes and making your viewers so clear how the frets and notes are layed out. I am so greatful for your explaination. Many thanks. Very good demonstration.

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!

I really like what you've come up with and how you explain it. This helps me... seeing these patterns. Thank you very much.

What a great summary. Being fairly new to the guitar and at a stage where I need to actually memorize the fret board, this description was a fantastic, “dime tour” of the challenge/task at hand.

You're awesome ! This will greatly help my goal of learning all the notes much faster.

Absolutely amazing video. I just started and this is going to help immensely.

Thank you. I understand music and play piano but learning guitar as a new challenge and the pattern of the fretboard has always evaded me. Thank you for making these for us visual learner types ❤

And I learned it as Elvis Ate Drugs Good Bye Elvis. Very helpful.

This is the best tutorial of its kind I have seen. Thank you so much!

Very helpful way of visualizing the fretboard! Thanks, Ricky!

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.

Fantastic explanation for this pattern recognition, thank you!

Excellent vídeo. I will be watching this again and again. 😊

Another great video! I find the middle section of the neck on strings 2-4 are the hardest to retain...as you commented. Thx for making the diagram available. Very generous.

Thank you for simplifying things! Very helpful!

This is so helpful, especially compared to other videos that aim to simplify the fretboard! Cheers from Mirfield! 👍👍👍

Some "nuggets" here...the F and B, and B and F diagonal relationships are great. I have found several of your videos extremely helpful. Thank you!

Great content, Ricky. I bought your book, but I just wanted to thank you for linking to a PDF of the diagrams you use in your videos and making them available for FREE. That's the sign of someone who is really teaching! Keep up the great work.

Thank you thank you thank you. Excellent navigation tips. For trying to memorize what at times feels impossible.

This helped for other ways to look at it. Knowing where the octaves are is really helpful too.

Out of all videos on how to memorize guitar fretboard this is very helpful. Thank you for making this very easy.🎉🎉

Thank you for all you do Ricky, I learned so much from you and the patience of your teaching.

Incredible! Thanks so much!🙌🏾💕

This is GREAT!!! I might just break through this year!!!

I have watched this video 3 months ago, then last week and again today... finally clicked. Thanx Rick.

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

Excellent lesson, mate. Cheers! 👏🙏

This is sooo good. Thank you very much.

Hell yeah, the pattern makes sense and it's easy to see! Thanks Ricky

Thanks for all the great instruction Ricky. I have to say, I bought your book just because your mnemonic game is such a hoot...

I was struggling with my acoustic. And im glad i found this gem!

I love your insightful ways of teaching familiar concepts with original ideas and clever tips. Your book with the collection of prior KZread videos is super helpful and convenient, everything organized in a single volume. If anyone is considering the purchase, go for it.

I'm a visual learner and really do appreciate your videos very much.🎉

I have this video in my playlist for reference and have already put "BEAD" into practice. Btw, your accent reminds me of my late grandfather that taught me how to fish when i was just a wee lad. Needless to say I'll be referencing your videos quite often. Thank you 👍

B and C always on top of E and F is something I hadn't really thought about before. Thank you.

Merci pour le partage c est très claire .

Thanks a lot. This is really helpful!

Very clever trick!! Thank you

Fantastic lesson ❤🎉

Ohhh.....that's very useful & helpful... thank u 🙏

this is really helpful! thanks mister ricky!

love the way you break down the fret board Ricky, the 5R3 lesson was a bright lightbulb moment for me;)

You are a grea-t teacher. Damn. You got me (with your style of teaching, and now, I'd have to stay, to watch more videos.😂. I subscribed. Thanks. A beginner here, looking to play someday, for songs I write.

Freaking brilliant ! Thanks for sharing this great trick!

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. 👍🏻

Thanks for this technique ❤

That is really good !! Thanks

Thanks Ricky. Very helpful tips on learning the notes on the guitar. I have subscribed to your channel. Have a great day.

The BEAD on the 7th fret helped me so much! Also, I lived in Durham for a long time and your accent makes me feel so at home!

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.

Very helpful, thanks

Thank you! This broke boundaries for me!

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.

This is great!

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.

Allways a pleasure hearing Hari Seldom explain music theory ❤️😍

I love this stuff.

😮just Assam! It's help me so much. Thank you. ❤

After learning the note names of the six strings its quite simple if you are familiar with your ABC's through the letter G and understand the half step BC EF exceptions.

Holy shit man it was like a light bulb went off in my head just now i have been in a funk for like the past 6 minths with learning am teaching myself how to play an these just made it all make sense now thank you very much for this video

That was awesome rock and roll 🤘

Clevr & helpful!

my mind is blown, thank you

🙏🏼🙏🏼Thank you!

One day, after years of playing guitar and struggling with this concept, I looked at a keyboard and all the sudden it made sense. EF, BC, half steps, only seen on the 2 sets of keys 🎹 without a semitone black key in between them.

This is smart, wish someone would've explained it to me that way when I was still learning the notes, just had to stop and say something haha

Thank you

Thank you Ricky, I found this to be a very helpful video 🙏

I just subscribed as your short lesson made a lot of sense to me. 👍🏽

How i was told best way to remember the actual names of the strings starting from 6th is Eric & Duanne , Got , the Blues Early.

Thank you for giving us the PDF without requiring our personal information. Nobody does that.

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.

Thanks.

Pretty cool!
