Learning the notes on the fretboard changes everything
It’s hard to describe what knowing the notes feels like until you’ve done it, but the closest comparison is recognising colours. You can name any colour instantly if you need to, but you’re not consciously doing that as you look around. You just know.
We want to recognise the notes on the guitar in the same way. Being able to identify any note instantly adds a whole new dimension to how you experience the instrument. Chords, scales, and progressions become easier to understand because you’re finally seeing things ‘in colour’.
Most guitarists never reach this point because they learn the notes like the alphabet, moving through a sequence or relying on octave patterns instead of recognising each note on its own. When you take the time to learn the notes properly, they become a valuable tool that enhances everything you do on the guitar.

By the end I could find any note on any string without thinking, and I felt genuinely proud of my progress. It’s made learning songs and other guitar concepts so much easier. I really recommend this course because it saves so much time.”
