Hi Dermot,Hello Michelle
I also have a little software application AFT (Absolute Fretboard Trainer) that you can learn the fretboard by playing a long.
Anyway.....cutting this short.... I've come to the conclusion that I should persevere longer with very basic fretboard exercises
in my practice routine one at a time until I know them before moving to the next.
With this thought in mine, after watching the Neils news and Vanessa's answers in the forum am starting with the 5th and 6th string notes.
with the intention of playing them on the guitar reciting them with accidentals sharp up the neck and Flat down the neck.
I'll do this for 5 minutes a day along with the songs I'm working on.
Then I'll move to seconds, thirds and Fifths etc... each for as long as it takes.
I suppose as long as I'm doing something about commiting the fretboard notes and relationships a step at a time
is better than being all over the place with it. I just need to be honest with my self before moving from exercise to exercise.
Personally I'd say, just pláy the guitar!!!!
What did you play this week Dermot?Hello
Although the videos explain everything clearly, sad that I am
I created a note for myself with respect to Neil and Vanessa's video responses to my question.
I've found their explanations useful.
Thanks.
