Try this…… Remember that your fingers are NOT “individual(s)” when finding frets and building a chord on the fretboard…….
Think of it more-like your fingers have “neighbors”- (your other fingers)….. and there is a “location-relationship” between them as you are building a chord on the fretboard. I guess what I’m trying to say is that– once you land the index finger– you really only need to remember the relative-location BETWEEN the index and the middle finger, and then subsequently, BETWEEN the middle and the ring finger. Just remember where they are in relation to one another.
(In the case of an open C chord, once you land your index finger…. it’s “up one fret/up two strings”….. and then….. “up one more fret/ up one more string”).
I know this all sounds confusing, but I like to think of landing these individual notes as “one, then the next, then the next”, kind-of “in order”. NOT focusing on where each one is individually on the fretboard….. but rather focusing on the location relative to the finger you just landed.
Sorry if this all sounds confusing; I tried to explain it as clearly as I could. And it may not work for you. It’s more of a “how to think about it” thing. Hope my ramblings help.
