    • I especially liked that this was short and to the point
The information is presented clearly and concisely, similarly to the three other Joseph Alexander guitar books I own. I especially liked that this was short and to the point, including excellent exercises to solidify the key points in you mind. My only suggestion is related to how the octave patterns are presented. While it certainly helps to know where octaves are across strings (2 strings over and 2 frets up, etc.), it is not followed up by any technique to use laterally (up-down the fretboard). I have another book that presents the same octave patterns, but organizes them into 5 "root shapes", which help to more quickly move up or down the neck. Other than that point, it was great. ... show more

    • The book does what the title says: helps understand the fretboard and memorize it
This book does what its title says: it explains the logic behind the fretboard and indeed teaches you how the fretboard works. It also contains the exercises, so you can practice and be able to memorize the notes on the fretboard. This is a short book. It took me about an half an hour to read it in its entirety, however, I have no doubt it will give me much more time to apply into practice what I have read. It would be helpful for any person who does not know how the fretboard work and wants to memorize the notes. The book gives guidelines and tips. However, it is your job to make it happen. For a person who knows the fretboard it will probably be not very useful. I liked the book because it is short, to the point, adequately priced ($3.99 + tax) and in the electronic form. What I did not like is the amount of advertisements in comparison to the amount of the actual content. I think there are too many advertisements taking into account the length of the book. The author encourages to review the book and provides an interesting incentive to do so, i.e., offers another book of your (to some extent) choice. ... show more

    • Go For the Higher Level Skill
I liked the book and its tips, but I would recommend that aspiring guitarists buy and digest "Sight Reading Mastery for Guitar" by the same author (Joseph Alexander). The real goal of knowing the location of the tones on the fretboard, it seems to me, is to be able to sight read, and the sight reading book will allow a player to learn that (if he/she has the drive to take on a very rewarding task). I love the sight reading book, even though it is obviously going to take a considerable input of effort to become proficient. The principles of "How To Memorize the Fretboard" are quickly obvious as you develop sight reading skill. ... show more

    • Even older guys like me can learn the fretboard
I've been playing guitar for forty five years (off and on). I am mostly a strummer so decided to learn some more about playing lead and knowing the fretboard. This book has given me a good start in that direction. Once I read it a few more times I plan on recording some simple chord progressions and practice the notes along with the strumming pattern. The flashcard idea is another item I intend to use for practicing my playing. Thank you for this information packed little book! ... show more

    • Exactly what I need at this point in my playing...
I vividly remember listening to The Beatles "I Want To Hold Your Hand" in 1963 and immediately thinking - that's what I want to do...play guitar! As it was...I chose drums as my main instrument which had its advantages. As the drummer, the band practiced at my house and I was always playing someones guitar on the off days. Eventually I bought my own. While I knew how to read music from studying mallet percussion, the fretboard never made sense to me. I found "How to Memorize the Fretboard" extremely beneficial in helping me to make logical sense of everything I've learned up to this point. For the first time I am able to move from one point on the neck to another - knowing where I am and why. This book has also enabled me to practice through visualization. At anytime during the day I am able to recall one or more of the exercises and run through them in my mind which has increased my understanding significantly. Highly recommended for players with a good foundation and difficulty pulling it all together. Well done Mr. Alexander and thank you! ... show more

    • Great Resource for an Important Learning Goal
I have seen other guitarists offer advice on learning the location of notes on the guitar neck. This can be a daunting challenge for a couple of reasons. The notes on a piano for example are arranged from high to low, in order, and can be easily seen. A given note name at a given pitch appears in one place and in that one place only. On a guitar the same note name with the exact same pitch may appear in several different places. There is also a different interval between the 2nd string and the strings adjacent to it. For this reason the entire fretboard is asymmetric. This book presents patterns that can be learned and recognized, and other strategies for familiarizing oneself with the notes on the guitar fretboard. In my experience it is the most complete and useful resource for doing so. I recommend it unequivocally. ... show more

    • Great book on techniques how to learn where the keys are on the fretboard
Joseph Alexander’s How to Memorize the Fretboard is a straight forward book on the approach to mastering where the keys are. If you follow his instructions and take the time necessary to do so you will find yourself making considerable progress. As he explains at the end of the book on the conclusion page which strings to work on in which order you’ll understand. I practice the strings in the order instructed (e.g. first, the 6th and 1st strings) then the others, then the octave patterns. As he also explains, I print some blank fretboard pages I created for myself and made note of the major keys, one fretboard page per major key. I practice one major key at a time with the printouts. As usual, thank you Joseph and team for another great book and learning opportunity. ... show more
