I've just posted the second part in this tutorial to take you one step further and understand sharps and flats th-cam.com/video/Ju5PfXy2S4M/w-d-xo.html
GCH Guitar Academy I watched numerous videos and there too complex for beginners. first time I watched your video, and i finally can read the notes on the guitar and I learned what an octave is...thanks man your a great teacher. it was so easy.
@ Bart S. “Learning” is something that you do. “Teaching” is something that another person or thing does to you, or ‘for’ you, whether ‘to’ your benefit or ‘to’ your disadvantage. Someone can also ‘teach’ something ‘to’ you. You can ‘learn’ something ‘from’ someone, but you can’t ‘teach’ something ‘from’ someone; you can only ‘teach’ something ‘to’ someone. Someone can ‘teach’ you something, but that person can’t ‘learn’ you something; that person can ‘learn’ something from you or from someone or from something. Or that person can ‘learn’ ‘by’ the example of someone or ‘by’ the example of something or ‘by’ your example. Grammatically speaking, it’s not “but who really wants to ‘learn’ something 2 someone.” But rather, it’s correct to say “but who really wants to ‘teach’ something to someone.” Pardon the book, but... Just saying!
i have been playing guitar for two years now and was never able to understand any of these guitar note explanation videos but this guy dumbed it down so much it just opened a whole nother world of learning thanks man
When I took my first guitar lesson I told the teacher when you tell me something say it like you’re teaching a ten year old because I’m stupid and I can’t grasp anything. It worked great. Now I can jam the shit out of Mary’s little lamb.
It's because, you had a poor teacher/teachers. The reason why Einstein was a great teacher was because he was able to dumb down the most complex parts of physics for a common man.
I've been a "beginner" guitar player for 20 years, playing open chords and easy songs from the internet. Since we're all isolated I decided to start learning the theory of the guitar neck. I wanted to be able to finger pick and travel up and down the fret board, something I've never been able to learn all these years. My awakening started a few months ago when I rented a keyboard and started learning the key positions on that. That helped me a lot when I started learning the guitar neck layout as well. I've watched a hundred guitar tutorials over the last week and this is BY FAR the most concise/succinct explanation I've seen yet. Now back to trying to master CAGED and memorizing the Penatonic scales etc. Sorry to ramble on, I type really fast. :)
You've mirrored a Lot of Guys and Gals out there that are in the same 'Guitar Camp' as you are! Thanks for Sharing! My Goal? Learn all the Scales, the entire Fretboard, then Sing the Notes with my 'Fingers' up and down the Neck!
Yes 🤔 This sort of theory never changes so people keep watching. I did a newer version of this video, (th-cam.com/video/w89mP1yRfdA/w-d-xo.html) but people still find the old one, I guess that's just the way TH-cam works . . 😊
I'm getting an acoustic guitar for Christmas. Im already trying to teach myself some stuff without it. I didn't know how it would be learning at 22 without lessons, so hopefully you keep coming back to reply!
Cheers for the Video clip! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Stopping Sounds Reality (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one off product for transforming you into A guitar legend minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my buddy at very last got astronomical success with it.
I just bought a guitar and today I watched half a dozen videos claiming I could memorize the fretboard in 10 minutes but you are the only one that actually explained what is going on with those crazy dots on my fretboard so I'm gonna hang out with you for a while:))
As a piano player the guitar always looked so complicated and hard to understand but after watching this video it really helped. I never knew the note concept was so alike.
I watched a number of other tutorials trying to learn this with no luck. While watching this video I drew out six strings on a sheet of lined paper pretending the lines were frets. As I watched the video I labeled my 'fretboard'; then immediately after I picked up my guitar and played the notes while saying them aloud one by one. Done. Fretboard memorized in like 10 minutes or so. Thanks guys!!!!!! Now I plan to use a metronome playing the whole notes up and down the neck while saying them out loud until I get to 120bpm without tension in my hands or arms. After that I plan to practice the CAGED method to become fluent with using the whole neck, while learning as much as I can about music theory. Along the way I plan to take lessons in person about once every two weeks while playing Rocksmith 2014 an hour a day, and practicing technique drills for another hour. The ultimate desired goal is to get closer toward playing in the style of music of a Nick Johnston, Joe Satriani, or Yngwe Malmsteen. +GCH Guitar Academy does that sound like a reasonable path considering I travel for work a lot and have limited availability for in person lessons?
Is that Rocksmith game any good? I saw a 2nd hand copy the other day but it didn't come with any of the wires. I didn't want to waste money buying everything if the game wasn't very good.
Para cualquier hispano hablante es importante saber el nombre inglés de las notas ha que hay muchísima más información en inglés que en español. Gracias
Mecanotech I’m just saying... I’m so proud I could understand what you said. I’ve only been learning Spanish through the internet im just so proud dont mind me. This is completely unrelated to everything lol. Written this saturday, 14 sept. 2019, hello future me. But yeah I think it’s wise you also learn about what theyre called in English
For someone struggling to understand this for years, this was the most TO the point lesson, with perfect picture representations for each piece of information. Well done sir well done.
As a beginner I was daunted by the charts of notes in seemingly random spots but you have explained it in such a simple form I feel confident to move forward - thank you so much 💕 I will check out your other videos as well 😀
Yes I agree, - I've watched loads of the vlogs on how to learn the fret board note. The picture caught my eye. I looked for reference, - so glad I did. Many Thanks.👍😀
Finally a visual aid that really helps. When you wrote the notes out A BC D EF G A, (with the gaps in between) it finally clicked as to where the half steps are on the fretboard!! This is something I can close my eyes and see it and remember it! THANK YOU!
I can't count how many beginner guitar videos ive watched over the past 7 yrs of owning my guitar. No confidence in what Ive learned. This video just blasted every video ive ever watched and it all finally clicked with the clear explanation and images in this video. I want to cry, my bf is going to be so excited for me bc he always tries to explain this stuff to me and ive never fully understood til now. So much gratitude right now.
I had to hop on the comments and say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I am a woodwind, piano, and percussion musician and know how to read music on the page, know the pattern progression of notes, octaves....all of that. I have always wanted to learn guitar and I picked one up finally. My biggest roadblock is that I want to start learning just scales so I can know the notes on the fret as I play, then incorporate scales and go from there. My hurdle was understanding what notes were played when pressing each fret. It starts with finally memorizing open fret, as you mentioned in the video. Then, when you started showing the notes on the low E string and how to know that chromatically, the B/C and E/F are always together with no half step in between...it clicked. A fret is a half step! I was able to relate it to piano keys and how that is set up and now, I'm off and rolling. It took your video for me to get that click to happen so now, I know the notes on the fretboard. Thanks again! If I could thumbs up this a million times, I will. I'll definitely subscribe to your channel and see what other words of wisdom you have. You've saved me from frustration!
Thank you very much for your feedback on the lesson and your experience. It's really encouraging when you find out the videos are helping people out . . . thank again 😊😃
awesome video. i’ve been playing guitar for a few years, self-taught, and this stuff was always so hard for me without a teacher. this made it a lot easier
I watched numerous videos and there too complex for beginners. first time I watched your video, and i finally can read the notes on the guitar and I learned what an octave is...thanks man your a great teacher.
43yrs old, just learning guitar .... the best video yet ..... its been a long time since I've had one of those really enjoyable 'ahhh I got it!' moments in life lol...... very nice video, looking forward to checking out your others .... thanks!
I'm an old geezer, finally fulfilling a lifelong goal of being able to play at least 2 or 3 songs on my new guitar whilst sitting around with some friends. I was a little intimidated the first time I watched your video, but now after seeing it about six or seven times with guitar in hand, it is brilliantly laid out. Thanks loads, from Canada
After scouring TH-cam videos trying to find a way to understand the notes on the fret board better, your video is far more helpful than anything else I've seen. The tip about the double dot on the twelfth fret for example was news to me. I will continue watching your videos.
This is the best lesson on learning the notes! Thank you. I known the piano and had difficulties trying to figure out the pattern on the guitar. You made it all make sense!
Holy shit! You made naming the notes on the fretboard so easy! No one i've watched explained it like that. It's so easy now, all you do is start at the string, for example Low E, and follow the pattern he showed earlier in the video and you've just named the frets. Wow Thank you man!!
Just wanted to say a big thank you for this lesson. It was so clearly explained and I know I will be able to master this within a short time. Brilliant!
Wow! Wow! I have listened to more than 6 different teachers thought i would never get it. You are simply the best teacher for a beginner. Thanks from Kenya
Brandon Miller That was a nice thing to say but do remember that people do have different opinions and religious beliefs. If its a Atheist or a Muslim whatever just be caretul with what you say even if you ment good.
The day i master the guitar - i can always say ur sites help was the MAJOR REASON. Pls keep on.n can u also keep a vedio on what r the main mistakes beginners make ☺👍👍
This was literally me first time watching your channel,and I am absolutely blown away by how easy to understand you're making it. The theory had been a bit difficult for me,but I could tell from the moment Eddie Ate Dynamite,Good Bye Eddie stuck in my head that this would be a great lesson,and it WAS. Thank you So much!
If you remember the Beatles song “Let it be” You will now remember BE, as there are no notes between B to C and E to F. If you want to learn open strings 1 to 6 ( thin string to thick string ) try the following Eddie Bought Glitter Dynamite Amusing Eddie.No one ever gives the mnemonic for strings 1-6...but now you know. Very good video.
I had my guitar for about a year and never really looked into the actual notes ever since the first video i found on it seemed wayy too confusing. Somehow you made everything very memorable and simple and I now Know all the notes on the guitar with only one watch through and some pauses 😎 THANK YOU!
There is a better way, especially if you plan on learning to read sheet music. The guitar is tuned in fourths except for the B string. The order of flats in the key signatures also proceed in fourths. The order of flats is B E A D G C F. For example if you have your finger on the 5th fret on the low E string, that is an A note, as you should already know. On the next string down (A string) at the same fret is the note D. To make this more clear, you know how to tune your guitar, right? It is tuned E A D G B E. The tuning of your guitar also follows the order of flats except for the B string as it is tuned a third up instead of a fourth. To make this crystal clear here is the order of flats and you will see the notes of how you tune your guitar between the added slash marks, B/EADG/CF. No matter where you are on the fretboard the note on the next string down follows this order, except on the B string which will be one fret forward. To prove to yourself that you already know this without realizing it, get your guitar and put your index finger on the E note on the A string at the 7th fret and bingo you know the name of the note on the next string below..... Just like tuning your guitar EADG.... Memorize the order of flats and you will have it. You already have four of the notes memorized you just need three more. To get a bead on this just think the word BEAD then GCF. BEADGCF And lastly this sequence of notes moves one fret forward at the B string and when the sequence ends on the F note it will begin again one fret forward. The only exception is going from the F note on the G string at the tenth fret to begin the sequence again on the B string at the 12th fret.
I have improved and even started Writting better because of your video on how to understand and use each letter on the chords of the string thanks for your help.
I am an absolute beginner.. with no knowledge on guitar playing and the notes n felt tough to memorize strings or sounds.. the spacing really helped how to navigate across strings telling the logic between the sounds.. Best ever lesson.. thanks a lot.. am now able to know whereAll E can be played in a B string or whereAll A can be played in a G strong.. and many more.. and starting to practice this.. wow.... thanks so much Guru :)
Thank you for your wonderful lesson this is so much useful to me you are unique brilliant teacher thank you from the bottom of my heart .God bless you. Raj From India.
Thank you so so so much!! You made it seem really easy and explained it in a way that even a begginer like me could understand everything You just motivated me to keep learning the guitar Thank you so much!!
i have been trying to wrap my head around the fretboard and scales for a while. brilliantly done! thank you, so much! (and thanks pandemic lockdown, mysterious fucked up ways. =] )
I’ve played in band in H.S., marching, concert, jazz, and pit orchestra for our plays. Went to college on a music scholarship and played with professionals all thru college and after but I never picked up a guitar until 5 years ago. I already knew the scales to improv in jazz and was intimidated by try to learn to play the guitar. Now thanks to YOU and this video. I do think I’ve got it. Thanks so much for your help and I’ll come back and let you know how I do. You got a new sub. Thanks again.
That's amazing and that's what it's all about . . it sounds to me like you're serious about your music and it's a great complement you found my videos useful 😃

Best ever tutorial !
I had my guitar for about a year and never really looked into the actual notes ever since the first video i found on it seemed wayy too confusing. Somehow you made everything very memorable and simple and I now Know all the notes on the guitar with only one watch through and some pauses 😎 THANK YOU!
That's great . . Thank you . . 🙂🙂
There is a better way, especially if you plan on learning to read sheet music. The guitar is tuned in fourths except for the B string. The order of flats in the key signatures also proceed in fourths. The order of flats is
B E A D G C F. For example if you have your finger on the 5th fret on the low E string, that is an A note, as you should already know. On the next string down (A string) at the same fret is the note D. To make this more clear, you know how to tune your guitar, right? It is tuned E A D G B E. The tuning of your guitar also follows the order of flats except for the B string as it is tuned a third up instead of a fourth. To make this crystal clear here is the order of flats and you will see the notes of how you tune your guitar between the added slash marks,
B/EADG/CF. No matter where you are on the fretboard the note on the next string down follows this order, except on the B string which will be one fret forward. To prove to yourself that you already know this without realizing it, get your guitar and put your index finger on the E note on the A string at the 7th fret and bingo you know the name of the note on the next string below.....
Just like tuning your guitar EADG....
Memorize the order of flats and you will have it. You already have four of the notes memorized you just need three more. To get a bead on this just think the word BEAD then GCF.
BEADGCF
And lastly this sequence of notes moves one fret forward at the B string and when the sequence ends on the F note it will begin again one fret forward. The only exception is going from the F note on the G string at the tenth fret to begin the sequence again on the B string at the 12th fret.
Watching this lesson opened up so much of my guitar knowledge. THANK YOU!

I’ve played in band in H.S., marching, concert, jazz, and pit orchestra for our plays. Went to college on a music scholarship and played with professionals all thru college and after but I never picked up a guitar until 5 years ago. I already knew the scales to improv in jazz and was intimidated by try to learn to play the guitar. Now thanks to YOU and this video. I do think I’ve got it. Thanks so much for your help and I’ll come back and let you know how I do. You got a new sub. Thanks again.
