Thank you.

I would recommend to go "note by note".

1. Try to work on that every day for about 5min.

2. Start with the "normal notes" like A B C D E F G (1 day for 1 Note)

3. Don't use the open positions. So make sure to get the notes from the 1. fret until the 12. fret (so every note will appear once per string)

4. Go up and down the string starting with 6. string and find the note (for example all the "A" on Monday) So start at the 6. string and find the A, after you found it go to the 5. string, then to the 4. string, 3. 2. 1. string and then all the way back.

5. As mentioned above do that for 5mins just for that note

6. The next day go with another note (it will get a lot easier after a while - trust me)

Do this for 4 weeks straight and you will find yourself getting MUCH better at finding the notes in "real time"

Bonus:

After you get better at this: start to set a metronome at a pace that ismanageable but also challenging. Speed up the metronome over time to get even faster.

Have fun!

I would really love to hear from you if you give it a try and how it works for you.
