I thought so as well! It was a watershed moment for me, the screen that was hiding the fretboard disintegrated and I saw the notes for the first time!

Once you have that first pattern under your fingers and etched into your brain on all strings:
G …|……|A…|……|B
C …|……|D…|……|E

then add in the 2 notes that follow on the next fret (half step):

G …|……|A…|……|B…|C

C …|……|D…|……|E…|F

Now you have all the natural notes and filling in the accidentals (the sharps and flats in between) is a piece of cake.
