I am new to playing only 5 mounths and was hoping some one could tell me how to find the same note all the way down the fret board

Hey Nick,

Not sure if you mean the same note on the same string, or the same note on other strings along the fret board.

If it is the answer to the first you are looking for, that's easy. Count up 12 frets, of course it will be the same NAMED note, but it will be 1 octave higher. The 1st fret of the first string is an F, the 13th fret of the first string is also an F.

The other isn't as easy. At 5 months into guitar you might want to start learning the notes on the first 5 frets of all the strings. Not as hard as it seems, remember the 1st and 6th string are both E. Learn one you've got the other. You don't need to know every note at every fret right off. But you should know various land marks on your guitar that will help you get around. If you know the 5th fret it stands to reason you can figure out the 6th fret. If you know the 12th fret (which are the same as the open strings) then you can figure out the 10th fret. Trying to remember where 90 or more notes are located (6 strings for 15 frets) is a daunting task, I certainly don't know where they all are but I do have land marks. There are plenty of fret board maps located on the web, get yourself some paper and write one out yourself, best way to remember something is to write it a few times.

Find all the C's. If you know where the C's are located you know where the B's are located, right? and the D's. Don't worry about the C#/Db, because you know where the C's and D's are. Get it?

Hope this is of some help.

Michael

  Fretboard pic

Nick,

Here is a picture of the fretboard Sharpes and Flats not shown
but good enough for what you or others would like to know.
A good explanation on previous post.
Maybe the picture and explanation will give you a good understanding

Example: of 6th string the biggest string and 1st string are alike

1ST open E F F# G A Bflat B C C# D Eflat E F F# G
2ND open B C C# D Eflat F F# G G# A Bflat B C C# D
ETC.
6TH open E F F# G A Bflat B C C# D Eflat E F F# G

Like the post mentioned above too much to remember but nice to know I suppose.
