Bruce,

I had to edit my reply. The F# is the 5th not 4th of the B major scale.
(B, C#,D#,E,F#,G#,A#).

There is nothing wrong with learning the notes and a little theory early on.

Learning the notes up to the 5th fret is easier than you think. If you can tune the guitar using the 5th fret, then you know those notes. The 6 string and 1st string are the same. If you know the open strings then you know the 1st and second frets... and it just goes on from there.

You can do a search for some free fret board trainers that you can down load.
