In this guitar lesson, Steve Stine discusses some approaches for you to finally memorize all the positions of the guitar fretboard, so you can get to the next level with your guitar playing.
1. If you can see it, you can play it – you have to truly learn to “visualize” the shape/pattern you are working on. Often, guitar players try to learn too fast, and the patterns become jumbled in their minds. The goal is to avoid moving to the next pattern until you REALLY have the first one memorized completely…THEN learn the next pattern the same way…and begin to see them BOTH as one element on the fretboard.
2. Once you can “see it”, begin developing the technique to actually play/execute it – use a jam track, a drum loop, or a metronome, and begin building strength, speed and stamina by practicing the shape/pattern over and over again to gain power and control.
3. Begin learning Steve’s concept of “Meandering” – begin learning (and following the rules of) Meandering to develop the ability to “shape shift” your shapes/patterns so you aren’t just playing them up and down by route (this is very helpful in making the transition from “practice” to “creativity”).
Meandering on its own won’t make your solos sound like “solos”, but it’s the first step in disconnecting from “route practice”.
Once you learn to meander, you can then begin to learn the art of “phrasing”, which you can begin to learn by breaking your Meandering into sentences, and once you get that, you can begin to target notes that match between the chords and the scale you are learning, to develop an element of melody.
