Gord001, if you are a pilot, you’ve had to learn, remember, and act on a lot of difficult things, many of which depend on simple boring memorization. I suggest approaching the guitar with the same mindset you used to get and maintain your ppl.

Seriously, if you learned to decode an old-school metar, you most definitely can learn the fretboard. 😆

Take the Fretboard Wizard course. Other than the daily drill, it is the flagship product of this site, imho. Also, look at Ricky Comiskey on YouTube. He has some excellent shortcuts for learning the notes.
