  If you want to know the notes.

I know all the notes on the fretboard...because of at least one of these ways.

1. I put on the metronome at a reasonable speed while I tried to find all the A's all over the fretboard (E-5th fret and 17th, A-Open, and 12th, etc.), and I did this with all the notes...but it's good to get a little familiarity before doing with the metronome

2. Fretboard Warrior...is a good way to test where you're weak. Just do a google search for Fretboard warrior and your good.

3. If you know the E and A strings...then know octave placements. For example if you know that G is on the Third fret of the E string, than you should also know that there is a G on the fifth fret of the D. This will also work on the A and G Strings...but never forget the kink on the B string...don't rely on octaves for the D and B strings because it's likely to confuse.

Alright,

I hope I helped.
