I had a cut and paste accident when I did my final edit.

Excuses, excuses I know.

But really I use 5 and 10 as my references, because I know what 0 and 12 are without thinking.]]> Guitar Noise Lessons Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/fretboard-101-part-2/#post-80180 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-noise-lessons/fretboard-101-part-2/#post-5627 Thu, 16 Dec 2004 13:18:17 +0000
I think that is an awesome way to visualize the fretboard, and it definitely helps keep things easier. But, and not to be too nitpicky, the 5th fret also has no sharps or flats. Low to high, the 5th fret is: 6th=A, 5th=D, 4th=G, 3rd=C, 2nd=E, and 1st=A. It's another nice little familiar landmark, making the frets 0, 5, 10, 12, 17, 22 and 24 (if you have that many) easy reference points. Just thought I'd throw that out there!
