Hey guys, in this lesson, I am going to show you a simple exercise that should help you with fret memorization. 

I started playing guitar when I was a little kid. My first teacher was bad and he taught me the guitar for two years. Fortunately, after a couple of years, my dad took me a better one.

So, in my first lesson with him, he said, “Ok, you have been practicing for two years. Can you please play the note F starting from the low E string up to the top E string without skipping a string?” 

It took me about twenty seconds to play all the Fs, and I was already sweating! 

Now, he was a talented teacher! And, in one moment, he showed me two things: 

• First! I wasn’t able to navigate the fretboard with confidence. 
• Second! Playing the same notes on adjacent strings gives you a pattern. 

In this lesson, I am going to show you a simple exercise that will help you with fret memorization. We will be playing one note on each string with the metronome (no time to think).

This exercise can drive you crazy! After years of playing guitar, I am still messing notes up! However, it will help you a lot with fretboard navigation and fretboard knowledge.

Good luck guys.
