利用八度音来记忆吉他指板

Hi. This is Hub Guitar.

Let's talk about how to memorize the notes on the guitar neck.

Why is this important? It's a step that few players ever make it to. One of the most common things we hear from players who have been trying to learn for years and years is that they felt frustrated that they could never learn all of the notes on the guitar neck.

But actually, it's not that hard to do. You just need a reliable method.

The first thing you should do is learn how to play and visualize all of the octaves. This is the most useful tool in your toolkit because when you're not sure what a note is, you can visualize the octave below, and the octave above. If you know what one of those notes are, then you know what the original note was, too.

The most basic one is the two octave shape. So we have an E and E here, make sense that this is an octave. So the same fret on the low E string is gonna be the same note as the same fret on the high E string, so here is 2C notes.

Next, we have more octaves on the low E string. First one is eighth fret of the fifth string, and fifth fret of the third string. Next one is eighth fret of the sixth string and tenth fret of the fifth string. This is pretty easy to remember. It's two strings down and two frets up. Now we're gonna move that C to the fifth string here, we are gonna do it again. The one that goes across two strings, that's actually the same as this one that we did back here. But it does look a little bit different and that's because we acrossed over the boundary of the B string. The B string is a little bit different than other notes. So whenever we cross over that boundary, our pattern is going to appear to change a little bit and it's gonna look like it shrank a little bit, but that's just because the B string is tuned bit different. Now we are gonna do octave from the C on the fourth string, so the first octave is this one, now you can see that this is actually the same pattern that we did here and here, but again, since we cross over the B string, we've got adjust our pattern up by one half step. That's the first octave and second one is this octave. So this octave is really pretty similar to this octave here. And we've got one more, we're gonna do the C on the fifth fret of the third string, and it's octave here like that.

So memorize that octaves and that will really be the first step that helps you link together all of the notes, understanding the guitar fretboard.
