I guess I just don't understand what you're doing here. On this exercise you're doing here...your key center is definitely A-. Why then do you skip the C notes? That's the minor third of a and definitely in the A- pentatonic scale, and also a chord tone. I don't understand why you're skipping it. And when you go do D (maj or minor), you're still playing within the A- pentatonic. Why not switch to D- pentatonic at the 5th fret (A- shaped D-)?

2025-01-23 23:30:16 +0000 UTCHi Ian. Long time "Notes guy" here, but I'm open-minded and trying hard to understand how memorizing fret numbers makes navigation faster and easier. In this video, I heard you mention that when you see tablature with 3s, 2s, and 0s, you know it's probably a C chord. When someone gives me a new piece of music to learn, they're not giving me tablature. They're giving me a 4-measure-per-line chord chart with letters above the beats on the staff. So I'm not seeing 3s, 2s, and 0s. That being the case, how will memorizing fret numbers help? I've got my CAGED shapes down and can play the chords up and down the neck and back. It seems to me that going from letters to fret numbers to fingering would introduce an extra layer of abstraction which would slow me down. Again I trust that it's working for you and would really like to see if it could work for me, but I'm just not capturing it yet. Can you help me get my head this?
