NOTES - What they are, and how to learn them on the FRETBOARD

In this video, I dive deep into notes: what they are, and how they are laid out on the fretboard. So many musicians spend years using notes and not really thinking about where they come from. I will answer some of the following questions: - Why there is a limited or finite number of notes - Why notes repeat - Why there are only 12 notes in an octave We will also explore how notes are laid out on the guitar and why it makes it rather difficult to find them on the fretboard. We will talk about the main disadvantages and advantages specific to the guitar when it comes to fretboard navigation. Finally, we will talk about why it is crucial to know your notes at least on the low E and the A strings, as well as some exercises to practice learning these notes efficiently and permanently. 👉 Book a FREE INTRO CALL to join the Will Metz Academy: https://www.willmetzacademy.com/apply Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 04:17 What are notes? 05:22 Notes are frequencies 07:00 A=440Hz: The reference note 11:05 The Equal Temperament System 16:08 The name of the notes 19:40 Sharps and Flats 22:39 How notes are laid out on the guitar 30:40 Disadvantages of the fretboard 34:19 Advantages of the fretboard 35:00 Don't just learn shapes 35:55 Landmark and reference notes 44:02 Get away from "counting up the notes" 47:45 Notes on E and A strings 50:50 EXERCISE 👉Fretboard Navigation Principles sheet: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18bcUUwmQ3S1okwo6FxQzfavhjpQ_yRGHQl7PApSobkc/edit?usp=sharing 👉 Notes on E and A strings exercise sheet https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fnOElS_JYZr4Qr2udbK25hMgVpfuByVyY_topU8s42E/edit?usp=sharing 👉 Book a FREE INTRO CALL to join the Will Metz Academy: https://www.willmetzacademy.com/apply Music Theory Book: 👉 Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/Music-Theory-Self-Taught-Musicians-Basics/dp/1493056115 👉 Volume 2: https://www.amazon.com/Music-Theory-Self-Taught-Musicians-Improvisation/dp/1493061364/ref=pd_lpo_sccl_1/138-6825558-1365104?pd_rd_w=jMemJ&content-id=amzn1.sym.116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_p=116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_r=J9XYCEVFFHGA2RJHHGBP&pd_rd_wg=V2Md5&pd_rd_r=18abbf54-2f30-45e6-8599-9eb85ab75d02&pd_rd_i=1493061364&psc=1 Social and Website: Site: https://www.willmetzmusic.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/willmetz_music/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/metzguillaume92 Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaume-metz-54539b136/
