One more thing.

YOU MUST MEMORIZE ALL THE NOTES ON THE ENTIRE FRETBOARD, OR ATLEAST THE NATURAL NOTES... ABCDEFG AND KNOW THAT THERE ISN'T A SHARP OR FLAT BETWEEN E AND F AND ALSO B AND C.

To make this easier you need to memorize the musical alphabet first if you haven't already...

A
A SHARP/B FLAT
B
C
C SHARP/D FLAT
D
D SHARP/E FLAT
E
F
F SHARP/G FLAT
G
G SHARP/A FLAT
A

This way if you learn where all the natural notes are, then the accidentals (sharps/flats) are easy... cause if you are on E then E flat is just behind E (also called D sharp). So one up from D is D sharp or E flat, one down from E is E flat or D sharp.
