Right, that makes sense. Whew, guitar is getting a little more complicated to play now (not that it wasn't complicated before
) Before when I only learned the notes up to the third fret, it was like, this note goes on this string and this note goes on this string, and that was that. But this is way cooler!

As for learning notes on each string, just remember that notes come in alphabetical order: ABCDEFG, and that there are 'in between' (#/b) notes between all of them except E>F and B>C.
So for the B string, start at B (obviously), then just go alphabetically up from there: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B ... that's your 12th fret.
