Fretboard Visualization Methods

[Stuz719]

This is wonderful!

I can now start to see how the shapes kind of jigsaw together, rather than thinking of five-fret-wide boxes that run across the strings but never up and down them…

I’ve tuned up my 7 string in 4ths to make learning the fit between them a bit easier, as (to may way of thinking at least), accounting for the G/B switch on a 6 will be a cinch later rather than building in this oddity (it can be argued) from the off.

Thank-you so much for posting this.

Hi @Sarah_Spisak

That’s one of the patterns that @patternblue and I illustrated earlier in the thread. I refer to it as the “open” pattern as it forces the hand to open a bit.

The 3x3 shape connects in useful ways with itself and the “closed” 3x4 shape.

Helped me a lot too.
