THE PATH TO FRETBOARD MASTERY
1) NOTE NAMES
Goal: know all notes on the fretboard

observations
a)go behind the nut to play E open string
b)always go to the nearest note called.
c)use always first finger only

drill 1: call notes and work on each string at a time 6,5,1,4,3,2.
drill 2: try in a position to call random note names.


2) TONIC SHAPES & 3) TRANSPOSITION DRILLS
Goal: See the diamond shape for every key

drill 1: pick a tonic shape and then pick a note.
If possible do it in both octaves.
Stay with a tonic shape until you know it.

drill 2: pick a key and play all tonic shapes.

drill 3: pick a position and then pick a random note and play the tonic position
you find in that position.

4) MAJOR SCALE TEMPLATES (or CAGED)
drill 1: play all shapes for a key. Remember to associate the shape
for the scale with the tonic shape also.

drill 2: pick a key and an interval in a shape.
For example all the 2s - , all the 5s etc.
You can do it with note names also.

drill 3: pick a key and then pick an interval.
For example play all the 6s in C (A).
