tell me how to memorize this NOW! RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

memorizing all the notes on the fretboard?

you can start by memorizing the natural notes on the fretboard, and then all the octaves

ex: quizzing yourself by finding all the As for example on all 6 strings (5th fret on E, open A, 5th fret on D, 2nd fret on G, 10th on B, 5th again on high E) and repeat that for all 12 notes (including sharps and flats if you want to be thorough)

learning how to read basic music notation and doing scale and arpeggio exercises ie learning how to play the c major/a minor scale across the entire neck I find will give you more mileage of establishing confidence around the neck and visually seeing the symmetry of the neck

also memorizing intervals and playing a scale against a certain drone (like a tanpura) will also help you use your ear more instead of being anxious about staring at the fretboard making sure you're playing all the right notes

Remember first few natural notes on the top 3 strings, thats the 3rd, 5th, and 7th fret. So thats
G A B (Remember it as the word Gab)
C D E (Idk how to remember this but you'll manage)
F G A (Remember this as the word FAG but mispelled)

Now learn the octave shape. From any fret on the first 2 strings, move 2 frets higher up the string and then go move 2 strings down and you'll land on the same note.

Doing this will let you find any note within a few seconds. For the 3rd string (FGA) you can use the octave shape to find the notes on the 5th string BUT you have to move up 3 frets instead of 2. For the high E 6th string its the same as the low E.

The 9th fret has a natural note before and after it on the 1st and 2nd string. C D and F G, but I wouldn't worry about that right now.

I don't memorize it to the point of being able to pick a random note and telling which one it is without thinking a bit by seeing the lower octave like the anons are mentioning.

Step one: Learn mnemonic landmarks
0: Eddie Ate Dynamite. Good Bye, Eddie
5: Apples: Delicious, Green; Chew Every Apple
10: Dave Grows Cherries. Fuckin Awesome, Dave!

Pattern repeats for frets 12, 17 and 22

Step Two: Understand there's no gap between B and C or E and F.
Now you should be in a good position to figure out what notes are where in relation to the mnemonic landmarks given above.

why do multiple different areas make the same sound? is it as stupidly designed as it seems?

I drew out the fretboard layout once a day. Besides trying to memorize intervals.
I wrote/drew down all the note names and where they are from fret 1-12 on a piece of paper

I would also switch the Caged format to Gedca because in reality for guitar scale shapes don't change what your playing. For e.g. Major and minor are the same shape, you just need to know where the root notes are(and everything else*)

>Learn your scales, major and minor. Playing in key. etc.
Very basic theory helps. Also Interval training like the other anon said.

Just remember that as long as youre in tune all the variables stay constant. An E note/chord is always going to be an E note/chord and even if you arent paying attention the more you play the more youll inherently/subconsciously start to understand the "rules". As for good exercises go i have two suggestions, first take a note like E for example and find all the E notes on each string. For example on the E string an open there's open E, and E on the 12th fret, on the A string there is an E on the 7th fret and 19th fret, etc etc. Do this for all notes and all strings in a desending or ascending order. The next thing I'd recommend is something I just started studying is get yourself a chord book that has every chord and strum each chord and then again play each string in the chord and say each note allowed or in your head. Chords of the same keu generally have the same same couple of notes plus or minus a note or two so through repetition you start to understand what is what and where its located. Also since I've started doing that I've noticed my ear has become much sharper. I hope this helps, im no teacher I've just played a lot and for a long time and finally feel like I've reached a threshold in my playing where anything is possible

Sorry bros, autocorrect and my carelessness botched this post

Memorize A minor / C major (same scale different, starting note). From there, dont be retarded and fill in the sharps or flats.

Major/minor and pentatonic scales are good, but I think working on triads is even more effective.

I like using dice kind of like flash cards.
D12 for the root note.
D6 for the inversion (1-2 = root, 3-4 = first inversion, 5-6 = second inversion)
flip a coin for major or minor
Or of course you can just use a D12 for all of them and adjust accordingly.
Or just one roll for the root note and do all of the triads for that root note.
You have to be patient though.
