  Speaker 2: Hey, it's your Chief Guitar Instructor, Miles. Today, I'm going
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: to tell you how to memorize notes on the guitar
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: for beginners. Number one, to start, search for an image
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: showing you the natural notes on your guitar fretboard. You
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: only need to memorize natural notes because if you know
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: where your natural notes are, you'll easily be able to
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: identify where sharp and flat notes are. Step two is
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: you'll want to memorize the natural notes on your low
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: E string up to fret 12, which is where the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: octave begins. For your memorization process, play a single natural
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: note at a time, starting from the F note, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: say its name out loud as you play it. You'll
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: use this process for the other strings on the guitar
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: as well. Basically, you'll find the first natural note on
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: that string and apply this process. And for step three,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you'll memorize the natural notes on the A string up
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to fret 12. Once you have done this, you will
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: have memorized half of your fretboard because you'll know your
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: natural note names on the low E string, the high
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: E string, and the A string. For step four, memorize
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the natural notes on the D, G, and B strings
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: up to fret 12 using the process we used before.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: And For step five, finally, incorporate this into your daily
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: guitar practice routine until you can recite the natural note
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: names easily on each string of your guitar. And that's
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: it for today's episode. Subscribe to the podcast if you
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: like learning about guitar theory, techniques, and fundamentals. And I
• 1:48
