Learn the notes by playing bass lines.
One of the ways that I learned the notes on the fretboard of the guitar was to play bass. You can play an actual bass or just play bass lines on your guitar. This concept will still work no matter which method you choose. I'll show you how in this video.

Learning the fretboard by playing bass
Working with a backing track I show you how to find the notes on your fretboard. 
Using headphones will let you hear the bass. On an iPhone or iPad or something with small speakers you will not be able to hear my bass notes. They are too low for very small speakers to simulate.
We get creative as we go along first fining the root notes in chords, then octaves, then 5ths, then we work with upper and lower neighbors.
Finally we talk about free form playing using all of these tools that we learn about.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.
You can find the link to the backing track in the description of the video on YouTube.

Tales of My Guitars - Ibanez GSR 190 Bass
This bass was given to me when I worked at SunHawk Academy teaching music to recovering drug addicts. Someone had left it there and the owner was unknown at that point. I acquired the bass around 2011.
  • It now has a bone nut. That is the only piece of equipment that is not original. 
  • The frets were checked out to make sure they were all seated properly, leveled and polished. 
  • The guitar went through a thorough set up to set string height, neck relief, etc.
  • It has flat wound strings and is intonated properly. Very important for any guitar!
  • The pickups and all electronics are original. 
  • The neck is thin and fits the hand perfectly.
It plays like a dream. For an inexpensive bass it is killer!
Check out the next video that I did about learning the notes on the fretboard by playing bass or at least bass lines on the guitar.
