Guitar Fretboard: Memorize The Fretboard In Less Than 24 Hours: 35+ Tips And Exercises Included

Description

Memorize the fretboard before you play another note! Here’s why….. A fully memorized fretboard is one of the most underrated skills in the guitar world. It’s not expected from a beginner, nor is it taught in the normal course of guitar learning. But the smartest and best guitarists in the world know why fretboard knowledge can be the secret to being good at guitar. Why memorize the fretboard? Apart from sounding extremely cool when you say “Oh, you played a C instead of a C#” , it amplifies every area of your guitar playing: Area #1: Guitar scales won’t be just patterns on the neck: Guitar scales are simply a couple notes repeated all over the fretboard. If you understand this simple concept and have the fretboard memorized, you won’t need to memorize those endless patterns all over the fretboard. Simply get set and solo! Area #2: You’ll unlock 1000+ guitar chords: Chords are combinations of specific notes too. You can hold these notes anywhere on the fretboard to get chords in different contexts. And if you know the chord formulas (which we teach in our other books) you just unlocked the gates to the world of harmony – without having to memorize them all! But it starts with – you guessed it – fretboard knowledge. Area #3: Song writing becomes child’s play: Break free from common chord shapes and sounds to venture into the wild west of music writing. Add your own chords to popular songs, change the key or simply be more creative. Granted this is an advanced skill, but the shortest path to get there – fretboard memorization! Area #4: And the biggest benefit of them all – improvisation! Improvising is natural to a person who knows the fretboard! New note combinations, unorthodox melodies, playing fluently with a backing track or even writing new melodies. Nothing works if you can’t pick out the notes on the fretboard in an instant. So, fretboard knowledge allows you to solo better, improvise better, play better harmonies and write songs. That’s a major chunk of guitar right there! Why more people don’t memorize the fretboard. It’s hard! It seems impossible! It’ll come with time! And we agree with all of that. Memorizing 24 frets across 6 strings is not the easiest thing in the world. And most guitarists only ever master it after 1000s of hours on the guitar. But we want to give you a cheat code! Inside this book, we’ve simplified this process that takes a “lifetime” into 5 easy steps. Using these, absolute beginners have memorized the fretboard in less than 24 hours. Some even in as little as 5 hours! Wondering how we do it? Simple! We combined pattern recognition with memory techniques and games to create a system that will show you patterns hidden in plain sight and give you short memory phrases like “Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie”. This will take the layout of the fretboard right to the brain – WITHOUT any sort of blunt memorization. With over 700 5–star reviews, this book has helped over 39,000 guitarists shorten their learning time and gain the skill of the guitar gods – in under 24 hours! And it costs less than a pack of strings! So, scroll up and click ‘buy now’ to gain the unfair advantage of the pros in under 24 hours! Review: A No-Brainer!! - This is the 1st book by Guitar Head I purchased. It was not the last. To begin it makes the statement that you will learn the fretboard ALL of it in 24 hours. I am new to the guitar (as a player) I played drums most of my life. Being around guitarists I picked up some stuff. But never looked at the guitar as my instrument. Issues with my spine and hip changed all that. I still wanted a creative outlet. So the guitar was the perfect outlet. I bought a Les Paul and while on desertcart tripped over this book. Did you know all of their books come with download able goodies to help you on your way? So I downloaded and began reading. It was far closer to eight hours and I had learned the fretboard. Took the mystery right out of it. I knew the fretboard. Granted it takes longer to know by sight and finger placement. But the basics are right there. It is a weight lifted!! An Ah-Ha moment. From there I moved on to other titles knowing that they know how to help you learn. Guitar Head books are written by Guitarists for Guitarists. They are there to help you become A better guitarist. Easy to follow and if you follow what's written, do the exercises they deliver what they promise. Give them a try. What do you have to lose? Review: I Memorized the Fretboard in 42 Minutes! - I'm an experienced guitarist with 1000s of gigs and touring under my belt. I was looking to memorize the fretboard so I can expand my knowledge of guitar theory. The author says in the book that you could learn the fretboard in 5-10 minutes. You don't need 24 hours. At first I laughed, but it's true. I started my stopwatch on the first page and at 42 minutes and 25 seconds I had the fretboard memorized. The only reason it took me 42 minutes is because I was reading and re-reading parts. I also spaced out for 25 minutes to play guitar. Overall, it took me less than 10 minutes to learn the fretboard. When I say memorized, I don't mean fluency. Fluency is where you can call out every note in under 1 second like a virtuoso. No, that requires practice to master. What this book will do is get you to know every note and be able to call it out in under 5 seconds. That's impressive considering there's no studying or memorization techniques involved. I'm also pleased the author included a bonus section in his revised edition. I like how he includes music theory and application to the notes. This book is a must-read for any skill level guitarist!
