Imagine the 3rd, 5th and 7th fret dot markers as the lights of a traffic light. Then imagine drawing a triangle from the dot on the 9th fret to the pair of dots on the 12th to make a yield sign. Now each fret is unique:
Imagine the 3rd, 5th and 7th fret dot markers as the lights of a traffic light. Then imagine drawing a triangle from the dot on the 9th fret to the pair of dots on the 12th to make a yield sign. Now each fret is unique:
1st: beside the nut
2nd: just outside the top of the traffic light
3rd: the red light
4th in between the red and yellow lights
5th: the yellow light
6th: between the yellow and green lights
7th: the green light
8th: in between the traffic light and the yield sign
9th: the point of the yield sign
10th: the narrow end of the yield sign
11th: the wide end of the yield sign
12th: the bottom of the yield sign
13th and higher: same as the previous frets, but in mirror image, starting with the yield sign from the 12th to the 15th fret
Now look at the neck of your guitar, imagine the shapes, say a number and then find the fret without counting.
Did it work? Feel free to leave a comment below.
Is there a different issue you have with performing with confidence? Shoot me an email or about the one thing that seems to get you every time. I'd love to hear what's happening on your stage and possibly offer some ideas that may help you play the way you want to.
This makes a lot of sense to me. I haven't tried it yet but seems like it will work. I appreciate this Bryan. Thank you
