Best way to memorize notes on the fretboard?

[GibsoNim]

Hi everyone –

I stumbled across Active Melody videos on Youtube, and now I’m a fan.

Been playing guitar for several years and one of the biggest struggles I have is learning to memorize the notes on the fretboard. I’m getting better at picking out the root notes for soloing, but I really need help just memorizing it all.

Any tips or videos that can help put these notes into my darn brain? 🙂 Thank you in advance.

You have the right answer. The inversion of an augmented seventh is a diminished second, which is enharmonic to a perfect unison.

The rules for inverting are simple. The number of an interval and its inversion add up to nine. Inversions work in pairs — Major/minor; perfect/perfect; and augmented/diminished. Thus whichever the interval is of a pair, it’s inversion will be the other of that pair.
