Pretty powerful benefits right?

So…how do we know if our note knowledge is good enough? Here's a great way of finding out…

Note Knowledge Test:

Step 1: Please turn on your metronome and set it to 120 beats-per-minute.

Step 2: Decide on a note that you will work on.

Step 3: Find that note on thickest string in all possible locations. (One note location per click of metronome).

Step 4: Without pausing, repeat process on all other strings.

Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4 for all other notes.

How did you go? Did you find it hard or easy?

If you couldn't do it easily, then you have some work to do. I would recommend setting aside 10 minutes a day to work on memorizing notes of fretboard. Within a few short weeks, you should have it nailed. Good luck!
