Here’s why...
A fully memorized fretboard is one of the most underrated skills in the guitar world. It’s not expected from a beginner, nor is it taught in the normal course of guitar learning.
But the smartest and best guitarists in the world know why fretboard knowledge can be the secret to being good at guitar.
Why Memorize the Fretboard?
Apart from sounding extremely cool when you say “Oh, you played a C instead of a C#”, it amplifies every area of your guitar playing:
1: Guitar scales won’t be just patterns on the neck.
Guitar scales are simply a couple notes repeated all over the fretboard.
If you understand this simple concept and have the fretboard memorized, you won’t need to memorize those endless scale patterns.
Simply get set and solo!
2: You’ll unlock 1000+ guitar chords.
Chords are combinations of specific notes too.
You can hold these notes anywhere on the fretboard to get chords in different contexts.
And if you know the chord formulas, you just unlocked the gates to the world of harmony – without having to memorize them all! But it starts with – you guessed it – fretboard knowledge.
3: Song writing becomes child’s play.
Break free from common chord shapes and sounds to venture into the wild west of music writing. Add your own chords to popular songs, change the key or simply be more creative.
Granted this is an advanced skill, but the shortest path to get there – fretboard memorization!
4: And the biggest benefit of them all – improvisation!
Improvising is natural to a person who knows the fretboard!
New note combinations, unorthodox melodies, playing fluently with a backing track or even writing new melodies. Nothing works if you can’t pick out the notes on the fretboard in an instant.

But why aren't
guitarists
memorizing the fretboard?
"It's hard!
"It seems impossible!"
"It will come with time"
And most guitarists only ever master it after 1000's of hours on the guitar.
But...
We Have a
cheat code
Wondering how
we do it? Simple!
We combined pattern recognition with memory techniques and games to create a system that will show you patterns hidden in plain sight and give you short memory phrases like
“Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie”
The first letters of each word will give you the name of the strings from top to bottom.
This will take the layout of the fretboard right to the brain – WITHOUT any sort of blunt memorization.

ABOUT GUITAR HEAD
All of us picked up the guitar expecting it to be fun, relaxing and something to get away from – but the effort this piece of wood with 6 strings demands is surprising!
Yup! The bitter truth, isn't it?
What we face on a regular basis is frustration, a lot of it!
Complex music theory, finding the right lessons, figuring out the perfect tone, fighting finger fatigue and injuries, creative fatigue, the feeling of hopelessness, the feeling of not being able to play what you dream of.
The feeling in your stomach when you see a 9-year old nailing the song you’ve been working on for months! – the list is endless!
And we know exactly what that feeling is like. And we want to help!
We at Guitar Head are focused on constantly studying the points of frustration guitarists face. And breaking it down to simplify and find solutions for it. Be it – easy instructions or a community of members to talk to. We want make guitar an enjoyable experience for you.
We want to help bring the focus to what really matters, i.e.,
- Being able to express our emotions through music when words can’t!
- Finding strength in music when life gets tough.
- Navigating the ups and downs your guitar journey throws at you to become a better person.
"Guitar is about
Fun, Personality & Expression
Not Frustration!"
