#3 Say The Notes Out LoudA great tip for memorizing the notes is to say the notes out loud as you go through them. The more ways you can attack something the better chance you have of making it stick. #4 Forwards & BackwardsAnother tip for getting the names of the notes down is to go through them both forwards and backwards. It will help your mind work both ways when you're searching for a note on a string. #5 Skip NotesSkipping notes can be a helpful way to wrap your head around the note names on the fretboard. It will force you to find the note names without being able to follow the alphabet up or down. #6 Find All The Same NotesOnce you've really got the hang of finding the notes on a few strings, you can challenge yourself by looking for as many of the same notes as you can on the fretboard.

Do this with a few notes at a time and eventually, you'll have them all down. #7 Vertical MemorizationTo change things up it's a great idea to work on knowing the names of the notes vertically as well.
It's best to just work inside of one fret at a time. #8 BONUS: Practice Away From The GuitarAs a bonus tip, always remember that learning the note names is a great thing you can do to improve your guitar playing while you're away from your guitar. If you're in a waiting room somewhere or have some time to think you can just visualize the notes on a string and work through them in your head.

If you know this tuning method, then the patterns shown in diagram I are familiar to you. Take a look at the diagram for a moment. You will notice that with the exception of the G to B string, everywhere on the fretboard you find a G note, you will find that same note on the next lower-pitch string five frets up.
