antonio -> memorizing the fretboard (Aug. 18 2005 17:34:05)

Reading some reviews about guitar software, I found one about a program that allows you to memorize the fretboard in less than 60 minutes.
The software costs $30 and everybody agreed that it was too much for this simple information.
Here goes;
“This amazing secret is simply that from the low E to the A, from the A to the D, from the D to the G, and from the B to the high E there are five half-steps, and four half steps between the G and the B string.
His breakthrough is the pattern they follow, which you could have figured out for yourself if you didn't already know this:
A D G C F A# D# G# C# F# B E, except that because there are four--not five--half step from the G to the B string, you go back a half step on the B string. WOW!
Here's a free mnemonic device:
All Dogs Go Cat Fighting. All Sharp Dogs# Go# Chase# Sharp Foxes w/ Big Ears
A D G C F A# D# G# C# F# B E
See the pattern? That'll be $30 please.”
…I think when he says ” go back a half step “he meant, when following this pattern vertically, advance one fret.
IMO, it is a good way to memorize and this infomation is free [;)]
