I love how you put the note and numbering on the screen. This is extremely helpful when you are explaining to actually see it.

Outstanding Mike! Thank you! I’ve been trying to learn the Mando by “shapes” or “forms” and find it frustrating. I want to learn the fretboard and WHERE the individual notes are located on it FIRST. I understand the Nashville numbering system in that the G chord, ( G, B, D), would be G=1, B=3, D=5, the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes on the G scale. Now, besides the open G string, where can the G, B and the D be found on the fretboard? Learning double stops which are a combination of two notes from the 1, 3 & 5th, makes learning the fretboard more fun. But to navigate around the fretboard knowing the location of the notes is helpful.

[@MikeHeddingMusic]

Yes, I do a combination of both. Remembering shapes and knowing the notes. I find it's easier to think of the shapes first and then learn the extra notes around those shapes. Trying to learn all the notes on the fretboard without any shapes can be overwhelming to students. - Mike

This is a tremendous help, thanks Mike. :)

Glad it was helpful. - Mike
