What you need to know about a Guitar:

 

The names of the strings:

From Thickest through to thinnest: E A D G B E  or remember this funny little saying Elephants And Donkeys Grow Big Ears

 

Learn your notes on the neck using my legendary flashcards

Flashcards

You need to be able to find all the notes on the neck on any string, this is vital for you to improve.

String of the day exercise

  1. Pick a string for the day.

  2. Pick a random flashcard

  3. Find that note on that string.

  4. Select another flashcard

  5. Continue until 5 mins has expired

  6. Do something else.

Repeat on a different string the following day.

Repeat exercise until you know all the notes on all the strings.

This exercise is for your benefit not mine, I know my notes.
