  • So here's the deal gang, I recently said in a video "There's no easy way to memorize all the notes" I was wrong! This whole video is a correction to that statement because I am the kind of guy who can admit when I'm wrong. I'm so awesome and morally upstanding. Hope this helps.

    So, I'm an idiot and I couldn't for the life of me remember which notes didn't have sharps, even though it's literally two letters out of seven, until - UNTIL, right - until I remembered that episode of The Simpsons where Homer has that barbershop quartet and they're called "The Be Sharps", and B and E are the two notes which don't have sharps. Thanks again, Simpsons, for adding value to my life. And thank you, Kevin, for teaching me how to not get a girlfriend but to sort of muddle through knowing a pentatonic scale.

    I've recently bought an electric guitar even though I have no clue about guitars as I play the piano (nothing serious, just amateur) and it was extremely intimidating to wrap my head around the basics and terminology. But you explain everything in the most concise and easy way to understand.
    Kevin, if you're reading this, and I hope you do... I'm forever grateful for the amazing effort you put up in your videos and I'll be anticipating more videos from you in the future.
    Your channel is criminally underrated ! Your channel's now on my radar, fucking subscribed mate ! ❤

    I started guitar about the time you dropped this vid and I was recommended you early on. I wasn't sure about your channel at first since it seems you're building it currently, but after watching many videos I can honestly say yours are some of the most clear, simple, and entertaining. Thanks man

    I made up song lyrics where each line starts with the letter of the note.
    So the A string would look like:
    Apples are tasty,
    Apples are sharp.
    Bananas are pointy,
    Coconuts are hard.
    Coconut sandwiches are hard to eat,
    Daikon radishes, aren’t very sweet.
    etc.
    For the sharps I make the second word start with an “S” or a “B” for flats.
    It’s been scientifically proven that the more ridiculous the lyrics are the easier they are to remember.

    Memorizing the notes is a lot easier if you know the basics of the piano keys. I would suggest learning the piano keys first that is just ABCDEFG and the half notes in between, and memorizing the fretboard will be a lot easier.

  • @kagenotatsumaki

    Another pro tip, when moving across the strings on the same fret, if you find a B note, the next under it on that fret is E, the next string is A, than D, it always spells BEAD.
    Remember, B, E, A, D, G, C, F. And when ever you're playing any of those notes, going down across the strings always repeats the pattern.
    I've probably done a horrible job explaining this but eh, there's this idiots 1 good tip lol

    *Your definition of a note is false. You have defined a tone.* TONES are NOT NOTES!
    Notes are tones at duration.
    G A B C D E F♯ are tones.
    --------------------
    --------------------
    --------------------
    :𝄞 ----- ♩ --------
    --------------------
    Show above is a G note. It is a note because the symbol denotes time, a quarter note.
