Page 4 - TMRT Fretboard

This is how I teach

My students start their first lesson by discovering and listening to all the names

of the notes on the fretboard. I don't hand them a printed sheet of paper full of

note names. They have their guitar. I have pen and notepad.

Together we go through each sound and give it a name. Together we listen to

each note and I give the note a name. My student repeats the name of the

note. I write it down. They play the sound.

I have written the fretboard section in the same manner.

When you are preparing to read the scales, music reading and the modes and

chords sections of The Music Reader's Toolbox your knowledge of the fretboard

will determine the speed you will be able to use the information.
