Holy shit, this is amazing I play casually and was never invested in learning the fretboard But this method eases you into it I watched this video and moved on, like I do with so many guitar videos :D and later in the day as I was playing decided to try it, I was shocked by how easy it was for me to find my way around the fretboard Very well explained and put together sir!

In my quest to learn the fretboard, I've watched countless videos This is the best one, not only because it makes it easy to remember visually, but also assists in constructing chords (assuming one already knows how to voice basic chords) Much appreciated!

It would be great to show an example of how this is used Do you only use to find a note (like looking for different instances of an F# around the fretboard), or do you use it to find a key (like, hey this is in the key of Eb--and the jam begins), or something different? I love the concept and I want to use it to unlock more secrets :)

thats a pretty spectacular way of using the circle of fifths
Comment from : the sniper

Thanks for the time
Comment from : victor osunbunmi

Thank you this really helped me out a ton
Comment from : Al7ex

Also another thing that would be useful for this is knowing the circle of fifths because this pattern is based entirely on it and the guitar tuning is based on it other than B and E which need to be half a step higher And everything that happens with the 6th string happens the same with the 1st string unless in a drop tuning of course
Comment from : Al7ex

I learned something similar Maybe I think my way is simpler because it's what I know, but simply I remember BEADGCF pronounced bead-guh-kiff You can use your pneumonic instead but I say bead guh kiff for BEADGCF Notes from low E string to high E always spell BEADGCF (shifting up on the 2 highest strings like you explained) If you start on fret 5, or A on the low E string, just spell BEADGCF starting from A ADGCF Also those are the notes in order of the circle of fourths You're moving in 4ths when you go from b to e to a, etc, you're learning the fretboard, and all you need to remember is BEADGCF from the low to high strings

This made alot more sense than similar videos trying to explain the note placement on the fretboard Thanks for making the video!
Comment from : JY 25

i learned the notes on the fretboard by, 1st learning where all the A NOTES were on each string then doing the same for the musical alphabet all the way to G LEARNING- chords and scales helps to reinforce that knowledge of the fretboard it just takes time and hard work, but one day you will be glad you did it , then it is not a mystery
Comment from : Jody Guilbeaux

good idea! Great job! Thank you
Comment from : Burt Toast

Not really
Comment from : Robert Sparks

This is why i never learned guitar theory properly, it’s too confusing
Comment from : hermitcrypto

Thanks for telling us the Shape AND the rule But you didn’t explain why At First look, this rule seems a bit mysterious, but a little thinking would make it quite obvious Look at the open notes of six strings E-A-D-G-B-E, the distance between two strings is two and half whole notes except that between G and B, which is only two whole note On the other word , had the B string been tuned to C, then there would be no need to shift to the right one fret This “mysterious shift” is due to this particular tuning of the 🎸 ! I think this might satisfy some audiences’s curiosity
Comment from : Old man and the Sea

Sounds like a Geico commercial
Comment from : Dan Reid

UhNO! Dammit! Can't anyone make this shit less difficult!?
Comment from : Mark D

It's the circle of fourths or fifths I find this complicated but hey ho If it helps it helps not for everyone though
Comment from : Michael Cameron

Nice trick, but at that point I may as well just count where a note is from the open string or 12th fret

Confusing

As someone who is a beginner and struggling with note memory I found this to be an excellent training video, it deserves more hits
Comment from : Faramir 7821

Omg thnx!!
Comment from : Sheela

Yes it helps out s lot A novel observation compared to serial other channel take on memorizing the fret board br The over two string up 3 frets technique require constant examination of the fretboard I find that two awkward I was developing my own memory system based on the precieved note letter names across the fret from thick string to thinnest string You have mapped out that same concept with the "L" shaped doodads as you stack one L against the other spaning the fret and continuing into outer space The out of space proportion should take up on the thick string side ignoring the note on the low "e" string I think that is the way it goes
Comment from : Robert Brawley

Nice! Actually yesterday l did an excel of the fretboard but not in normal way of doin it I basically mirror the fretboard as if it is reflecting in mirror because to me its hard to visualize and put the fretboard in my head when everthing is upside down lol After l did the excel l see that pattern much clear amd today lm watching your video and you're talking bout this pattern Thank you
Comment from : Sepeti Sione Latu

Luv the animations and your explanation Initially I thought, this guy did it: discovered my trick But unfortunately you when astray! Try again! Hint: simplify!
Comment from : mi2cents

FYI, remembering what's in your "house" shape is actually quite a bit simpler if you know your circle of 5ths (which goes in a circle of 4ths the other direction) If you simply read the order of the notes in your shape from bottom to top, left to right, it reads BEADGCF, which is simply moving by 4ths along the circle This is also the main order for jazz chord progressions such as the 2-5-1 Hope this helps people remember what's in the shape more easily
Comment from : Chris Ball

The pic at 1:07 is extremely helpful I'm sure the rest of the video is good toobr Yep good stuff Thanks
Comment from : Mike W

I just used this method, and I'm already faster at finding notes than any other method I've tried This video is amazing, it has only the important things laid out, and the explanation was simple and to the point, so it's easy to understand, and it's explained by someone with a soothing, satisfying voice, which really just puts the cherry on top
Comment from : Turtle McTurtleson

I found this overly complicated I do use the 2 along and 2 down for 5th and 6th strings and 3 along and 2 down for 4th and 5th strings but the trick for the 1st and 2nd string is to simply use the open C shape to find those octaves
Comment from : BoracicLint

Wow its so cool bro
Comment from : ladies man

Toby, the pattern you are talking about is simply the pattern of 4ths, which is how each string is tuned on a guitar, except between the G and A string, which is tuned by a 3rd Maybe it would be good to add a note about this
Comment from : Eddy

Really interesting Thank you!!!
Comment from : The Guitar Noob

Brilliant, thanks
Comment from : neola hoodrat

I have to say, this is fantastic, the audio quality and the articulation is stunning Time for many to wake up and learn how to speak as well as play
Comment from : Steve Hilliar

I was close to figuring out that pattern but the B string must’ve thrown me off Thank you! This has got to be one of the most robust ways to think of the fretboard notes because it is universal
Comment from : Todd T

Great tips Many thanks🎸👍
Comment from : Gregory Herson

So this is at least interesting but I find it rather useless in playing a riff I mean to say that, although the BC and EF positions are beside each other, exactly what use is that knowledge? No critisim intended but rather what's the point?
Comment from : TheNewenglandboys

I loved your graphics, especially the scale shapes, that actually Gonna be my reference photo of scale shapes on fretboard from now on, as its' easy on the eye And I love Tetris, and this video makes the fretboard look like a game of blocks Tetris
Comment from : Gavin VON MEYER

Excellent Many thanks
Comment from : Ray OS

Been tryn unsuccessfully to mem notes Im only a short while into scales, got penta, building in major That 4 note cluster got me because I noticed its useful jamming, noone told me I found it building into majors I notine hes creating scales as he goes too I think like this a lot I know already this is gonna be good for me going on What a treat Many thanks

So helpful!
Comment from : tetradodeca

Very nice pattern This is one of those things you just have to work on There are no shortcuts, but there are tricks like this to make it quicker I played (poorly) for 26 years with minimal fretboard note knowledge Learning the notes for certain opens up a whole new dynamic It's honestly the biggest roadblock a lot of players may not even realize is there Mainly because they see the task as "insurmountable" or impossible Maybe even something that will just "happen" over time Not the case IME

Comment from : Apostle7 77

I appreciated the patterns but this is too time-consuming to be of actual practical use while jamming

Comment from : Nicolae Amariei

If you read your box from bottom to top, column 1 then 2 you get "BEAD" G, C, F (how I like to remember it) Or the circle of 4th's (circle of 5th's counter clockwise) starting on "B" brWhatever note you end on the 1st string you can begin again with it on the 6th string, same fret and continue the patternbrWhen you get to the "F" note just shift 1 fret right (toward the bridge) when going to the next string (2 if landing on the "B" string) and continue with B, E, A, D, G, C, FbrIf you know your circle of 5th's (4th's) then you can go up and down the entire fret board (flats and sharps included) just by going around the circle until you run out of fret board Circle of 5th's ,1st to 6th string shifting toward the nut (flats), circle of 4th's 6th to 1st string shifting toward the bridge (sharps)brIf you do this, you not only learn the notes but the circle of 5th's which is important to knowbrThe whole fret board's nothing but repeating patterns whether it's the circle of 5th's (4th's) going across it or the notes in order going down any string Look at it on an angle B,F,B,F then that 1 fret shift, B,F Nothing but repeating patterns

I always try to get at least one nugget of info out of these types of videos the BC EF box is it for me :) Never really thought of it as a connected box
