I haven’t done Fretboard Wizard, so I also don’t know how Tony teaches it. It is easy to figure out where all the notes are on the fretboard, but like Coach said, you don’t need to memorize them. There are, however, some patterns to find out notes a bit quicker than just counting up from the open string. For instance, the fifth fret of each string is the open note of the next string ( except when we get to that darn B string, in which the fourth fret of the G string is the same note ). Also, moving toward the body of the guitar, the octave ( 8th note ) is 2 strings and 2 frets higher than the note you are fretting ( once again, this changes due to the B string ). It may help to have a landmark, with many choosing the 7th fret since the notes ( from low to high ) spell B-E-A-D…. then F# and back to B. I’m new to all this fretboard stuff and the theory, but I figure I may want to learn it at some point.
